dual sway bars? last I checked most manufacturer's has front and rear swaybars.
Nimo- glad to hear the cars basic suspension works superb at your home track. I'm sure that the roll center adjustment was added because it is needed at certain tracks and the ed was developed for the same reason.
Judging from the pics of you local track the bite does not look to high putting a lower gear would probably just be wasted on tire spin.
All i'm saying is that as a paying customer i would consider the extra cost for those two items.

Tech Rookie
Team Magics bad decision
Dennis Richey, Has always done the best anyone could do with whatever he has had his hands on.
I met Dennis back in 2000 at a DRCC meeting and he had just moved here and was looking for a new hobby, as he had been racing boats and modifying boat motors at that time. But around here there was no competition and thats what Dennis is about (period)
It took a while til he got a feel for racing asphalt from water but he did get there faster than most I've raced with.
I remember pitting for Dennis at the 2003 Detroit MWS and he was coming in so hot that he took flesh off the palm of my hand in 2 places
,it was like catching a baseball with pins in it. I final asked him to back down a little sooner cause I was bleeding all over his car by the 3rd pit stop ) Ha,Ha
Dennis has done a lot for the R/C car seen with Phenix and his mod motors that get raced all over the U.S. & abroad.
Dennis is a winner not a quitter.
Motorman will be back on top sooner than you might think.
Thanks for all you have done for our hobby !
Regards to all Dennis's friends Mac / Gary M.
Dennis call when you have time.

Oneway slipping?
Hi all, had the G4S out today for my second weekend of racing. The car has maybe a total of 1 1/2 to 2hrs runtime on it. The car ran beautifully again, but here and there after slowing from a highspeed area of the track to tight area I would get back on throttle and the engine would rev as if there were no load at all. At first I thought maybe I had a rock or something stuck in the spur, but there would still be a load there. So I'm guessing my oneway bearing must be slipping. After it would rev freely, I would let off the throttle and reapply and off it would go as fast as ever. This happened a 6-8 times throughout the day. I'm new to onroad so not so easy for me to diagnose.
If its the oneway, is there a way to remedy it, or is it best just to replace?

I have cleaned the bearing and runner with motorspray and will relube it and see if that is going to fix it. There was alot of oil on the runner and around the gears from the serpent one way bearing lube i have been using on it. I had this problem with my V1R, but that was after a lot of track action, so it is a bit disappointing for it to happen so early.

depends on how far gone it is, its easy to just have a spare one way in the kit for these emergencies

It is unlikely to cure one way bearing after it was slipped few times. Usually it get worse and worser.
Couple of drops of liquid bearings should be use when it is new. Periodic cleaning and re-oiling is necessary to make it last. Mine lasts about 1 year in average.

Be sure to use a lube like Serpents One Way lube. Cleam out real good and then use this lube. Excellent product. I have had this frustrating problem, someone showed me this stuff and no problems since. Key as mentioned above, periodic maintenance is a must.
