Consistency???
Chriso wasnt one of your consistencys with the NTC3 something like 0.6 or sumthing?
or was that brett with the NTC3?
Its not that inconsistent when in the right hands.
But then look at my consistency, i think the best i have ever gotten is a 3.9

Fragile, inconsistent, torque steering just to name a few problems. Put a high powered motor in the chassis and they just don't cut it. I though the K factory stuff might improve the package a bit but it didn't. Needless to say the car is now up for sale and I have gone back to the Kyosho family ( V1RR , S3 and Rody X12 ). The ntc3 is an excellent car for pull start engines but it's still fragile, I bet you've had to put diff cases and other hop ups on the chassis in an hope to make it a bit stronger. That's my veiw anyway. Good luck with the car.

Ok then.
Knew it was either one of u.
I'll have to put my car in your hands one day, if they get the Fairy track open, then u can go for practice and we'll have to try and get enough funding for transponders for the cars on practice days
then u can have a go..
I DONT wanna touch your TC3, i'd prob break it on u.
I wouldnt trust myself driving someone elses car.

Then I realise
I reckon the track the single speeds run on is about 2-3sec shorter on and 18 sec lap, not really 2/3.
regardless Its good to see you doing well, we need more guys in those classes that can take it up to the clubs that have a heap of good drivers in Stock and Pro Stock.

Setup Station
Ryan,
Like most things its personal preference, I dont own one, mainly because I cant justify the price, but for $100 i cant see you going too wrong.
If you check out the STS forum here http://www.melbournecityrc.com/forum/default.asp you will see my 2003 STS pro 10 build and setup document. At the back of that I show how to do a setup using a few simple tools (ride height gauge, camber gauge etc).
I use this method and have for years, give it a go and see how far out of whack your angles are.
Is it as accurate as a setup jig? No but if done with care not too far off.
You decide (Pesi or Coke
)

What's your opinion?
