I used Nitro shoes the last time but didn't like the non-existant offset. I also liked the Fast Tyres when I had them but I'm not too clear on figuring out which to purchase.

I was planning on buying from rcmodel.com.hk b/c Harmony Model hasn't returned my email I'm in the USA so it's hard to call.)

So would this be a good stock pile?

Fast Tyres:
- Quantity 1 – 42 shore FRONT
- Quantity 2 – 40 shore FRONT
- Quantity 2 – 37 shore FRONT

- Quantity 2 – 40 shore REAR
- Quantity 2 – 37 shore REAR
- Quantity 2 – 42 shore REAR

Please let me know ASAP about to order either through Harmony (if they reply) or rcmodel.

Thanks,
Puma

Puma - You might want more rears than fronts. I know I'm scrubbing the rears twice as fast as the fronts. The next time I buy foams, Ill be buying 2 sets of rears, and cycling them so i don't have to cut down the fronts.

I have done that, but the problem is not the servo but it`s the servosaver. Its a gap bethween the servosaver and the radioplate. I will try to put some shims on.

Rollout table for 1.0 and 0.8 pitch gears

Some days ago did some number crunching with the existing gearing and did the rollout calculations, throught that can be of interest of many people (but realized that Mugen made their own table).

Next version will carry too the additional pinions and spurs from Kawahara...

The video is cool.

I found it intresting how much the body/suspension and roll works (pay attention to the front of the car)
