as for the g4s and the g4rs ,I find the g4rs is a bit more responsive, has better steering and seems to hug the road a bit better that the g4s, thats racing on a tight track like mine. I will get alot better idea when racing season starts next week as I have only done a few practise laps with it.

anyone racing this car ?
Hey guys, just wondering with all the chat if anyone other than Sp Racer has been running the car at all. seems to be so many questions with not many results being posted. i know last meet Sp put the RS on TQ, with some bad luck happening before the final. i also had some niggling radio issues on the weekend, luckily not all day. i have to say this car with a good setup, is so much more than the G4S and even the G4+. id like to hear some comments on practice or racing, with some ideas from everyone with some setups. cause i think Sp racer and Myself have this car absolutey dialled. some minor differences between Sp and myself, id have to say i wouldnt have gone back to spool if it werent for SP 
on another note i think there are some issues TM needs to sort out with the arms and the shock balls splitting the holes in the arms. now i have no problem up front anymore since going back to std G4arms, but they dont fit on the rear, so im stuck still with the flying (breaking) arms.
just a tip on clutch installation, make sure there is no interference with the spring retainer in the shoe with the throw out shoes under the plate. this has fixed any uneven wear issues with the clutch shoe. just a hint of touching of the retainer will do bad things.

I will be running my G4S for the first time in a long while this coming weekend.
looking forward to it.
I have never stripped a spur and only time was from a accident, if you take care of the 2 speed clutch clearance and bearings then you shouldnt have any hassles.
I am one of the only guys in teh club that does minimal fiddling and repairs to my car, other guys always have issues with there Serpents, Mugens.
Forgot to mention Serpent yellow clutch shoe works great if you ream out teh holes a bit.
Clutch feels super and consistent with it and lasts longer.
looking forward to it.

will see how it goes, at my track there is alot of stop and starting no real flow at all I need the power to engage early as you said less slipage for, its basically who ever is quickest to the next corner wins, if it causes to much traction loss I will swap it over. thanks for the advise.
