People that have never experienced this type of heat just don't understand. The hardest thing for people to understand is the fact you don't feel yourself sweating and more clothes coverage is better than less

Let's put it this way. Stand on the grass when it's hot, then move to the middle of a mall parking lot. You WILL see a sizable increase in temperature and "felt temperature" due to reflection and stored heat. It's also one of the reasons that cities can easily be 10 degrees hotter at the center than the suburbs.
All of that completely off topic talk aside.... I simultaneously moved to the 1.5 rear and down from 42.5 to 37.5 in the front to try to get more off power cornering. Sadly, it was a mess yesterday. The 1.5 REALLLY locks down the rear, almost to the point of being boring. It was flying great, but it was pushing like crazy. I had little to no turning ability off power. So that being said, I haven't done a full teardown of the buggy since it was built and maybe it's time. I'm still using the Blair 02.28.13 DNC setup sheet primarily with a few modifications (1.5, etc), including the kyosho springs. I've seen a lot of guys playing with diff oils, etc. For a medium/loose outdoor track, anyone have newer recommended setups with all the parts changes and modifications everyone has been testing? I have a few ideas myself, but wanted to see what you guys propose.
