Any tips of what springs I should be running when I get my BB shocks?
I was at that race and im pretty sure Jason was running the prototype BB's. I saw them on his car earlier in the day but he could of changed them out later. I've been told the V2 setups have more side bite.

I'm liking this. I know Racer's Edge has a version as well but this seems a little more refined.

My bad, I guess I didn't realize "big wigs" were allowed to f#ck people out of a race.

Would the ballstud with zero washers be equal to the c tower? Feel like that should be a given, but it doesn't specify.

It happens and was probably not intentional. Funny thing it was Tanner Denney that he hit who is one of his team drivers.

No the Clash race was Tanner, this was a Super Cup and was JR.

I dont see a grub screw. wonder if they are less sloppy than the AE ones. btw, I like the hubs and I will probably try them.

Hopefully they are machined with closer tolerances for the bearings and hingepins. Currently my hubs now have active-on-the-fly toe-in adjustment capability.

"Team associated self adjusting toe hubs". Latest technology on the market!

The 1st place guy went from mid corner and pinched down toward the pipe giving Ruona almost nowhere to go. HOWEVER, if you look at a freeze frame 10 seconds in you can see Ruona turning right into the left hand turn which sends him right into the 1st place guy. The driver's stand is to the right of this camera position it looks like, so he could see exactly where he was going.

I can't tell if it's shady or just an accident.

This is the kind of thing that happens every week in club racing. The race director probably should have had a restart for a big race.

So my question to you guys is: It's a big race and this happens to you. If you come out ahead do you keep going?

In that turn, he should have checked up more so as to not clip the dude. In my opinion, it's not a passing "I got the inside line" corner. I would have have pulled over.

And does it matter if it was an accident or intentional? I'd say most of the time, they're accidents. Doesn't make it okay to just keep going.

Just another racing incident , more betta to just leave the "bad" at the track. It does nothing for the Rc10 to bring it here ...

We are discussing a race in which a RC10 won. There's your link.

I thought it was an accident until I saw his wheels turning right at the start of a left hand turn. We are breaking down something that happened in like 1 second though. It's possible he saw his line cut off and was trying to swerve back to the outside.

So I suppose at the end I am taking both sides of my own argument.

So yeap, big bore talk can resume. BIG BORES BIGBORESBIGBORESBIGBORESBIGBORESBIGBORESBIGBORESBI GBORES.
