It's probably just that the T4 feels like on old shoe when you put it on after not wearing it for awhile. It's like "hey this is comfortable, why'd I get new shoes?"
I'm a little nervous about running my RB5 for the same reasons. I've been using AE products since like 1990 so this was a big switch for me. I got to run Terrorizer Reed's K car last summer and it was nice. A solid ride for sure.

Had a great time last night - I'm more impressed with the track every time we head over to race. Great facility, great people. Cameron - Again, sorry for the love tap in the main - I'm still getting used to the truck, think I forgot where the brakes were for a moment. Other than that incident, last night's racing was some of the cleanest I've seen since I started running SCT. The A main was full of people that could've taken the win.
I think Reed's driving in 4 mod may have sold a couple more B44's. He makes that thing look incredible, especially considering how rough the main was. I know you hear it all the time, but good job, man.

I know of a few guys (including me) that are struggling w/ their RT5 setups, I'm still waiting on the blue springs Tebo uses to come back in stock.
My RB5 on the other hand feels awesome on the new track (just need to learn to drive it!)
Std Tebo setup everyone uses w/ changes:
- 32.5F, 27.5 rear, Front hubs back, rear hubs forward

Thanks.
A Special thanks to Jim, Kim, Joe and everyone else who was involved in putting on the CCA event. It was a lot of fun for a great cause.
Kudo's to Greg for a great layout. Lots of fun to run on and great to race on.
Terry was REALLY laying it down in 4 wheel buggy. I was standing next to him and all I kept saying was, "Is that you passing me again????!!!" WOW.
I drug out the TC3 "O" for the race. Hope I wasn't in the way too much with it. It has been over a year since I drove it. A total of 6 laps in two qualifiers proved that!
Terry took it out after the racing was over.... He was FAST with it. Came off the drivers stand and joked," I guess it wasn't the car!!" LOL!! I had been telling him that all night!!
How many stayed until 6 am? I called the radio station at about 1 am to give a call out to you all... Did they?
Again, Thanks to all involved at PRCR for putting on the event. You can be very proud of the results.

Had loads of fun last night. Great that PRCR did well with raising funds for the CCA.
I have the SCT bug now! First time racing last night SCT and see why everyone likes it so much.
Sorcerer001- don't worry about it. Rubbing racing in that class and it made me have to work for the win.
It was my son's slash so I was fun getting to run with you guys. His is a over a year old and still all stock and on the stock worn tires. 
Special note to you all though; the tires work best in the factory direction. turning them around made the truck loose in the rear around corners. After the races I was able to turn faster laps with the tires in the normal direction. Even beating the track lap record held by an SC10 .
The new Kyosho truck is in my future.

BIG THANKS to Jim and Kim!
I had a really fun time and got some good clean practice laps!
The snake races were a great time and the Nerf battles have yet to be resolved! Watch out!!
Props to Will and Terry for helping me get my ZX-5-SP running sweet.
Wish we could do the 24 hour more often, but I'm thinking Kim is a NO
on that one.
How about some indoor MCX Heli races next year too?!!
Thanks again for the good times!!

Joe, Shaun, Andy, and I are all team members and can help with any Kyosho truck questions. If you can tell me what it does not do to your liking we can fix it. I know Daniels set-up also and he is dominating the truck class in super stock at the ECT right now. Andy, Daniel and I run a different set-up but Joe, Shaun, and Tebo are waaaaayyyy faster and have lots more power than us so if you can drive it's a dialed set-up.
I still believe it is the fastest truck available so driving it takes time and some getting use to.

Hit me up with Daniel's setup. I don't run the full Tebo setup, but I'm still running the weight. With the new Peak battery and the Tebo weight my truck is 67oz.
