guys, guys, guys...
hesitant to get involved, but just want to remind you all that we are grown men talking about toy cars. Let's take a deep breath and go easy on each other.
Not taking any sides here, but you all (including Sakadachi and Granpa) have provided me great advice that has been extremely helpful. Sometimes the info I've received has worked for me and sometimes not. Regardless it's all been helpful as it would have taken way longer to figure out on my own, nor am I sure I would have discovered various solutions or things to try. We are all here to help each other with what we know, believe to be true, and have discovered. Looking at the cars on our track, our top 3 driver's cars are setup differently yet they are all very close to each other in performance. I take that to believe there are different ways to get to the end result and various setups work for various drivers.
that's all I have to say, ...you guys are my friends even if I've never met you in person. Would hate for this to escalate further.
