Stock with pre-painted body with the upgraded shock.
I tried 3 sets of tires... Stock, B3 and foams with silver can,
14 tooth pinion and 3300 stick pack.

Ist qual: Put/soaked Paragon on brand new B3 ties,
med HPI insert in rear, hard HPI insert in front. I could
not keep the rear from spinning around what off power
going around cures... Power on would also spin it around....

2nd qual: foams tires 26 mm, 42 shore up front and
30 mm 40 rear.. SO much better but still it had issues...
offpowr turning.. fast in OK when it slowed
it would turn on a dime.... Not TCS legal.....

3rd qual: Stock tires.... Better but still had problems
on and off power going into and out of turns...

Main: After dremeling the B3 it was almost the same as Q1
but a litter better but still spun out every other turn...
