Umm....dude was referring to the VTS, so he ALREADY spent more than garodiscs, even if it was included in an FT kit.... And I don't mind waiting a few weeks to get stuff....it's not like you can't suffer through with the stock pads until they arrive....the alternative is suffering through indefinitely....

Also, sorry, but I will spend $5 extra to NOT have to "lightly sand my slipper pads" after every race.... My experience, at my track, where there were 4 other sc10 4x4 trucks experiencing the same, is that even the HD pads...which you had to buy since they were not included in the kit....DoD not hold up during a 5 minute quali....by the end of the race, you couldn't punch through our rhythm section.

While I agree, you shouldn't have to spend extra money to just race, I WILL spend extra money to make my life easier on maintenance between heats....and just like any top-shelf racer, I will spend money to keep up with the jonses and remain competitive....

And before you chime in, cherry, I KNOW you ain't running the stock rubber tires.....your argument is invalid.

Default Another tip

We had a little comparison session last night ...

Discovered the new Team Li-po tray from Ae helps stiffens the chassis more than the B44 tray....


Please take note ......


Jorge
Like the Idea with the chassis Ti rods , Kool !

Just an FYI.

This has happened 3 times, its obvious, belt starts skipping under braking and if it gets bent real bad after nosing it several times it will pop under acceleration.

Check this screw often, I didn't notice until I started chasing why my belt tension kept changing.

To add to this, you should check it after every run when you yard dart something.

But what I really want to know is:

What's behind the towel?
