The new 4wd slash would make a great platform for a backslash wouldn't it? Nice and light, yet durable.

I had one. Its crap. It would only be any good after £100 of upgrades. For £100 you can buy a TA05 kit. Guess which route I took?

Well, I use a dodge stratus for high rear downforce (its on my custom built RWD car), but most people doing speed runs go for an HPI body I can't recall right now, with only the front wheel arches...

I say run straight ethanol and oil in a PRE WARMED engine. it needs to be pre warmed, as I can't see it igniting without vaporising first. Stick the engine in an oven at 100C and see what you can do.

Meh, not sure about that. Maybe 1 sec consistency. I can go faster with a better handling shell, and my consistency is only about 2 seconds.

umm, its pretty much as you describe it. 10.5 is pro-stock, 21.5/17.5/13.5 is stock depending on where you are, and anything below 10.5 is mod.

I might have enough cash to buy one of these systems at some point, which setup is closest to a top spec 10.5? I don't mind if it's 10.5 or not, club rules are fairly lax, and they'll let me race if...

Which ESC is it? I had the no limit one, and with a 240A limit there's no way it could be made any more 'punchy'. You need a different motor if you want more power :)
