If you want to try GTRMX's setup , I have 2 beautiful G4RS 09's sitting in my garage that you can have for a great price
No thanks Luis, we're happy with the RRR for now. But you're right; it seems to suffer from excessive wear, and we will just have to get used to replacing sloppy parts constantly.

Many thanks for your help at the Nats, we learnt a lot from it. I'm sure that we'll have a much better and more reliable car from now.

Kindest regards,
Lars.
