I ran a version of the Ronnefalk carpet setup I have discussed with a few changes:

- ESC Left side front, battery right side rear shorty
- Exotek Chassis
- PT Racing oils ( I need to confirm weights again)
- VRP 3 x 1.3 pistons all around

Ran this in our open buggy class with a 13.5 Maclan motor with the ultra torque rotor option, blinky setup, and she was on fire. Highly impressed. Vehicle no longer wanted to push in turns. Instead rotated as I would expect and the utilization of 1million weight center diff fluid gave the vehicle a more direct feel just like I wanted.

The track layout had changed so that the long straight was now in front of the drivers stand with the turn coming off of it not having much room to do a sweeper. You basically needed a vehicle that would turn quickly there, no pushing.

Car was a dream. Just simply put awesome. If I wasn't pushing for just a 13.5 setup I could easily have run an 8.5 (10.5 is a common setup here) and felt comfortable with the power increase.
