Now I gotta yank the Yanker off my RB wow that RC10GT gonna really fly now.How Big should the Wings be for it?
!Had a Problem with the Motor mount screws backing off... Longer Screws or the 4mm mounts? Seems like a 3x12 would be a better screw then the stock 3x8 But I Like to Go big on HP anchors. Has anyone else Had Problems with stripped screws/Screwholes anywhere on the MTX3? Seems like a bad place to go cheap on such a nice kit.

Front is Done rear is marginal. Also I wore out the stock rears do you eat rear foams more then front? My fronts have alot of life left still. Gonna pick up 2 front belts and 1 rear.Gotta Drive 40 miles to get them if they wear on the track alot I'll double up so as not to make as many trips.Anyone with good input is welcome To Jump right in!
Oh and Manticore if yer Racin doesn't matter how much cleavage is showin lest she be Layin on the track..... Then take care not to ruin your setup on her set.
