hey john where did u guys move the drivers stand to?
reinaldo. go thicker on the front diff fluid as well it will help to remove some entry sterring. i know your worried about the rear end coming around but focus on numbing up the front a little. sometimes when you want one end of the vehicle to do something you need to work with the other end of the car. good luck. i did run mike novaks sc10 4x4 for almost a entire outdoor season and i really had that truck working well. the only thing was when you got hit by a losi you better hold on cause your going to loose. i started with a tessman set up. http://www.teamassociated.com/pdf/ca...pede_2011.pdfi believe this is the one i used as a baseline. also i found running about 1.5 oz on the oppisite side of the motor helped out a bit.. good luck

30,000 that is pretty thick! probably too thick. thicker front oil slows down entry but adds exit steering. tow out makes the car respond quicker(twitchy) i think u said that u went up on sway bar which also gives you more steering.i did drive it a while back and it seems to unload the inside rear tire which made it diff out. maybe you could try to add more droop to the rear it may keep more weight on the inside rear. be sure to reset your ride height after adding the droop

man i am stoked for wednesday. Bring your 2wd and 4wd and 17.5 SC out.

The layout looks awesome & the racing surface seems soooo much bigger by relocating the drivers stand. There is atight corner at the end of the very long straight that the sightline from the drivers stand makes look very narrow.. That will be a challenge for all, There is a double right out of a 180 corner that may be a challenge to clear from the inside line with a 17.5. there is also a triple right out of a 180 degree turn that may be difficult to single / double or double single since all 3 jumps are short, steep & close together. I can't wait to try the layout on wednesday & am hopeful it is 17.5 friendly to the 2 classes we run. I am also hopeful it proves to be vintage freindly. Cya wednesday!!!!!

If I remember correctly, there will be no practice until Wednesday. They're letting the track get good and hard before we start beating the hell out of it.

You'll have to determine that on the track. As long as you can clear the double by the stand, you should be good to go.

Lamar is experienced enough to know to let it get hard before he beats it. Good thinking, Lamar 
Can't wait to try the new layout. I'm on a road trip with my wife right now, so most of you will have a race's worth of practice on me for the new layout. I'll still throw down in 17.5 buggy, though
