I did do my homework. I had the +8mm carbon tab and about 4mm of spacers on the stud in November, I know precisely why I did it - I was trying to put more side bite in the truck on power out of slow corners. What I didn't have was the guts to space it out any further because I was afraid to bend the ball studs if I went any higher.

I agree.

Okay..I give up.

Why AE raised the stud so high?
Alternatively, why did they make it so low off out of the box?



Congrats, I see somebody has found the secret decoder ring!

Understood. IMO this is where coupling the slipper is best; it's a trade off, it won't rotate but it makes it easier to air it out. On the 1/8th scale track I tried the pin modification on, it was like almost a second a lap quicker with no other changes because it was so much more comfortable when it was 7' in the air. It was worse if I needed the truck to rotate.

For a while there, that was close to the center of the RC universe. Technically, the Deja Vu club on Mission was the center, but this is a family friendly forum.

The Ranch was on Mission, about two miles away. They started with a small 1/10 scale track with concrete curbs and a enormous 1/8 scale onroad track in front of that. Later, they converted the 1/8th scale pavement track to a 1/10th scale track to run the 1992 IFMAR worlds, and then about a year later, built a huge 2 foot retaining wall and filled it in to make a giant off road, with a diagonal straight that made it seem even bigger. I remember having seven cells and a 13 wind in and getting yarded on the first day of a two day race and being BQ, the next day I put an 11 wind in for the last round of qualifing and sat on the pole.

Sadly, I can't find any pictures of the big track, but this is what the little one looked like:



Good night, even the little track was a fun place to race.
