Default Ha!

I have finally broke a part on my car and it was not even my fault, Should I glue or replace?, the part is the rear lower hinge pin mount.

(I also managed to smash the servo casing on the throttle servo)

You can add me to the list of the people who have broken front / rear hinge pin mounts. They become stress points whenever the suspension is loaded so I'd just replace them.

You could always add 2 body mounts on the rear of the car between the body and rear bulkhead. I've seen alot of this lately just mounted on the rear shock tower, but I would rather put'em where it wouldn't damage the tower.

Big effort for this one H ( blis) , I'm taking a back seat just concentrating on 1/8th and wrenching for Brendan...he's been driving unbelievably fast

There is a link somewhere to live timing - should be an awesome event

Default Australia 2009 Nationals

Hey guys i have fitted some small hopups to the G4 09 in preperation for the nats:

1. Kfactory rear lower hinge pin mount - this has allowed me to get the correct rear trackw idth without binding up the suspension by screwing in the pivot balls all the way plus some added strength.

2. Kfactory teflon clutch flyweights - these definately feels moother thank the stock plastic ones

3. Yellow clutch shoe - this should make the clutch perfect in our high grip conditions

4. lots of time on virtual rc hehe

My car has been fast and consistent lately so i know itw ill be good if not better now. 2 x 353 09 Kickass engines will provide plenty of HP
