Waffle house rocks
Can't argue with that...but while I love RC stuff, there's nothing like the feeling of pulling it all together and putting down a good pass with no broken parts.
Going back to the track on the 14th...

I really think it's a travel/EPA/linkage deal. I did Jerry's car as tight as I could, with minimum EPA to stop the car...it was bound up...then I loosened the "calipers" just enough to get it to roll. It only has JUST enough travel (throttle and brake) to get the job done.
Equipment = Grommets, no spacers at all, stock Losi hose and hardware, cut-down (almost in half) stock spring, washer under horn, stock throttle ball. Failsafe set to neutral (Spektrum) just in case. Sub-trim set to where the horn is slightly towards the carb...just past square.
I'm not saying that we have it licked yet...give it a couple more gallons...LOL...I just think it's a setup deal. I just wanted to let y'all know what we were trying and how it was doing. I'm more of a "minimalist" when it comes to troubleshooting stuff.
