Long live Paragon! Just don't get it on your jimmie right before the main. Oh yea, that's another thread.

I am getting dangerously close to releasing an update MS3 kit. I have been running a crew of 6 or so cars in the NW with the new b/l rear ends and they have been great. There has been a bunch of fuss over whether its worth it or not to truly balance the rear pod. A simple question: why not? It's been worth the effort as far as I can tell. The motor will fall out the top. I can solder up in the pod without taking it apart. Something fresh not too many have seen before is the dual t-bar mounts! You can use Asc t-bars and a C12 variant t-bar which is shorter. Why do this? Unless you can test at each track with both t-bars, you will never know how good it can be. With one rear end that will take both bars, it makes the process pretty quick to find out. One bar can transition just a little bit better on a smooth track while the other gets through a rougher track better. The car will be offered with all the proprietary carbon parts, short t-bar, blue screw hardware, bumper, instructions, stickers and set up sheets. The update kit is not listed on the website yet, but I'll get to it soon. Oh, and I still have the molded tub!
