When you're comfortable to run in 13.5 then move up.. The IRH Mod class is a group of very talented and mostly sponsored drivers.. Most within seconds of each other on the clock overall through a qualifier.. Its very difficult and takes a lot of experience and practice to be able to hang with them and not be in the way.. Even being a few 10ths off per lap is a big deal.. Which is why I personally moved back to 13.5... Even the 13.5 A shuffle will have 16 lap qualifiers ... Slow is fast ..

B4.1 worlds? Great car.. Kyosho RB5 WC ... Better

Thanks everyone for the kind words.. I try and help when I can..
Thanks bro for the info, I would never think of running buggy mod lol. I think I'll stay with my truck, can't use the viper set up on a buggy. I just need to regroup.

Default A quick note....
Just wanted to thank Dave Ramos, Chuckie, Mr Lombardi and a few others for helping figure out the problems I was having. All the tips I got made me take the truck apart and it is now "right" again. Seems the transmission housings need to be clearanced so that the diff housing does bind while spinning. The rear was so bad that it felt like a drag brake when I had none set. God I just hope I can drive it now with it spinning freely..... Lol.

Don, I hope you have Motor Spray at the shop. I exhausted the last of mine. I hope to stop in today. Hope everyone had a great Memorial day weekend and got some rest!

Thanks again Chuckie....I know you guys don't bite but I always feel funny asking for help myself. Stubborn Sicilian...that's my excuse! I was trying to drive around the problem. Boy am I screwed Friday night. I'm going to have to get used to it being "right" dammit.... Lol.

Popped in to the track today for some motor spray and rear spring kit. Good to see Dave Ramos, nick, Mario and a few others braving the heat! Bill, thanks for the help today. WD-40 will work on those bearings....as soon as I get them dirty and flush the Canola Oil out!
