too bad half of those tires won't accept paypal!!! If you're wary of paying by check or esp money order, pay attention to that!

Anybody interested in trying to set a date to run at SoCal again? I imagine we could at least get 4-6 people.

Stormer for the Protoform.

You can also get the HB Toyota through them.

You can also get older bodies that don't work as well via Tower.

And then there's also whatever Dahm's is called these days and McAllister.

Other Protoform bodies can be ordered via Europe and Japan.

Angry need speed

since make the switch from 10l3 touring to a leading edge car, my lap time have gone up about .75 - 1.0 from what I was running with my L3. I went from TQ and A main wins to barely making the B main. So I’m pointing my finger at the car, not my driving. I’ve only had the car for 2 weeks now, but have tried a lot of different spring set-up's -- but not all of um" but with what I did try I could not get the car to go any faster. There are a few big races coming up fast and am looking for some quick tips to get this car into the A-main's. The feel of the set up on the car right now-- I have a lot of everything, the car will not push and will not get loose, and the perfect set up right?? I have the power , just not the speed- I changed 4 different pinion gears a tooth at a time with only a .02 lap time difference between all of um. I thought that was kinda weird. I bought the car used so I can not say what was in for shock oil but I felt pretty light , so tonight I put in what I ran in my L3 -- 50w , could light oil be slowing me down? So now onto tires-bsr compounds-- up front, I have on the left a white. And on the right I have black, in the rear I have on the left white, and on the right green, i'm sure a lot of handling problems is tires but is it enough to justify all that time loss? I scaled out at 360 on the LR & 160 on the RR. Is there a better tire combo to take some of the aggressiveness out of the car? I run stock , my track is about 180 ish foot run line, , I’m lost fellaz , any help????
thanks all
