Thanks for the reply guys. Our club (Plymouth) runs in a smallish church hall and many t-peices get broken either hitting the outside wall or when another car hits you whilst racing really close together. Thats why I am going with the carbon t-peice for now. I have noticed that you have to up the damping on both the centre shock (hence 40 wt oil) and the damper tubes (really thick Corally diff grease) so that it does not 'snap' back to the normal position. The car itself runs brilliantly, just not for the whole 8 minutes! And yeah, I agree that the rears are getting overworked. I have mounted the servo flat on the chassis instead of at an angle, that should take some initial steering away. I am also spraying a HB b'shell at the moment to try as well. (I ran the Audi as the FX speedo I use needs quite a bit of space under the b'shell). Away, thanks again and I'll let you know how it goes! Cheers, Chris.
