The things the look to to make these changes are to run the carbon hindgepin brace/upper front chassis plate and carbon front tower, carbon arms and carm 2 hole castor blocks to give the less a more direct feel///As can be done to with the rear by changing to a carbon b4 arm, carbon B4 reartower ( just make sure u drill the 4th hole) carbon rear u brace.

Andi seen ur pic of ur explostion looks almost as bad as when todd hodge handed me there" 1 of 2" TLR XXXS supper lightweight milled, hollowed out the tunnel with perfect X bracing that didnt affect handling accept making that PIG of a stock tc under weight but ya i think u were there whe i was up in the 1st qual 6am in morning at the INDOORCHAMPS an on Tq pace 2.30 min in an POWWWW i had a episode on the stand docters say it might have been a short ceaser or being such sleep depriaved maybe blacked out... NEEDLESS to say TODD wasnt to happy when i went to his room with a car in each hand...lol

make sure u double check ur steering rack and take out the steering rack ballstuds. i just rebuilt my car cause i couldnt figure out why i was having such a hard time try to find a consistant radio setting for the epa's/DR/ ext on the very new to me M12. but come to find out about 6AM this morning before getting ready to go to SJRC and noticed a LEFT side BENT AVID rack on the bottom section. Then going to put a brand new set of avid in i go to take out the AE gold ballstuds an it felt like i need a TORQUE bar to get out the BALLSTUD fromt the bent side so not only is the rack bent but the stud bent in the rack.. def answered my question on why i couldnt find a consistant starting radio spot..

to describe the SJRC track alittle guys if u can help its a indoor clay mix dirt.. moist and damp in morning low to med bite.Thetripple section and double/triple section jumps does have a rythem to getting it right but also realizing u dont have to think if u pull faster or more speed to jump u make the jump easyier. They are about waist high with equal landing ramps
BUMPS AN JUMPS HAS ALOT MOR BITE has alot more bite

the safe bet tires that from all types of drivers and cars car gold front barcode with3/4 jc rear/ and Gold JC V1 barcodes sanded or brocodes jc-02 med inserts

on the big bores guy what do you think about the multi size pistons? Say like the Avids 1.6x2/1.1x2 and what about the standard stock 1.6mm 2 hole compared to the ae 2 holed 1.6?



does anyone have CAVs setup for his battery placement with the weigh bars in the battery? or a genral idea.
Yeah I rebuilt the entire steering assembly since I had it all apart. I came around that turn, yanked it hard, lifted the wheels up, thought I was gonna hit the left pipes so turned the wheels to the right. The wheels come down and shot it to the right just enough to clip that other pipe. My car was amazing in OH. I just simply couldn't drive that fast on that technical of a track. I wasn't prepared for it. Picture the race in Dalton we went to only faster

I ran the 1.7's today at bumps and they were really good but I can't say that they would be better than 1.6's just because of the flat surface. at SJRC, yes I'm sure they would be. I'm going to stay with them for now and work on freeing up my car so it rotates better. I'm trying to get ready for 17.5 at Rama and the car is fast (almost took the win today) but it has a low speed push. I have some changes I wanna make for next week and I'll see how it works out.
