Yet the Xray manual suggests 8K front and 8K rear which is right in line with the B44.3 and D413 . . . so I still think that 500K in the center would be waaay to tight. Are the team drivers you spoke to in Europe running on carpet tracks? I'm not doubting you in particular, I just can't buy the reasoning for their 500K to 1,000,000 recommendation.

the team driver was from Europe but he said he really liked 500,000 on clay there and 1,000,000 on carpet tracks. he also said he has gone as low as 300,000 or even 200,000 on looser dirt tracks. then Rc America said the same thing for med/high bite clay and they are from Texas.

I am on your line of thinking thats why I questioned both of them on this. it almost seemed like a misprint to me but hearing it from both them and the ppwk I put 500,000 in mine tongiht and will be testing tuesday night. Ill let you know as if its to high ill try 100,000 and then 70k if need be...
