Sweet. I'm really thinking it should be just as fast as my 10.5. That thing only ran 115 degrees after a full pack, so I know it had tons more potential.

.5* really makes that much of a noticable difference?

Hmm, seems I need to do this since I've been searching for on power steering the last few weeks. This does help on power exiting a turn? Or all around on power steering?

A little quote from the above link...

"Now you might ask yourself: what's the best, a high RC or a low one? It all depends on the rest of the car and the track. One thing is for sure: on a bumpy track, the RC is better placed a little higher; it will prevent the car from rolling from side to side a lot as it takes the bumps, and it will also make it possible to use softer springs which allow the tires to stay in contact with the bumpy soil. On smooth tracks, you can use a very low RC, combined with stiff springs, to increase the car's responsiveness and jumping ability. More about this later."

Maybe now you can understand why i was running such a soft setup before. I just went a little TOO far...

The thing to always keep in mind is setup is relative and always a compromise. Sure there is a ton of things you can learn/get lost in and can actually forget to wheel the car along the way... but its information like the above link that is gold for those who are always striving for that little edge.

Tyler, it does make a difference. YOU just have the ability to wheel without the mental restriction a 'bad' setup can cause.

Too much rear toe can make the car drive square. I like to turn with the throttle (dont read that as wheelspin) as much as the wheel... so excessive rear toe feels like butt to me. I dont mind a little countersteer on throttle off the corner... as long as the front end is on the track that is... lol

This may have been covered already, but does any one know what springs Cav was running at the Midwest Champs. I know they were gold and white Kyosho BBs. But, what color where?

Thanks! So combine this with the C carbon fiber sounds like a winner to me!
