Hi all,
I'm considering trying big bore springs (on v2 shocks). I'm running regular AE silvers front and rear (indoor carpet), would anyone have a recommendation on which big bore springs would be good candidates to replace those?
Many thanks in advance,
Nick

So I ended up playing around with battery placement today (with a shorty) and found that moving the battery forward more really woke my car up. I was running it so that it was even with the Ubrace. I tried moving it about an inch further forward, but that was too much. Car would unload and spin out too easy. I checked out one of the local fast kids and he ran his about even with the antenna tube. I tried it and it was very good.
Since I'm so rusty, I'm basically 2 sec a lap of the pace. I was able to knock a second off that just with this one change. The car reacted quicker, I had more on power steering (which I was searching for) and I had good forward bite.
I think I'm locked in now setup wise. Just need to start hammering in consistency and then maybe when I grow up, I can be fast too!

I am getting no response from the Electronics forum. Anyone know the cause of this servo issue in my b4?

ok guys, need feedback..... It's finally time for me to start looking for a new radio system. My old M11 with the spektrum module is getting a little long in the tooth...
I know the obvious choices are M12 and 4PKS. I am leaning towards the M12 but to be honest, I don't know that I need that level of radio. Do any of you guys have any experience with the MT4 and 4PL? Could you share your thoughts on them?
Not looking for a bash fest or a fanboy diatribe. Just want some opinions from real racers that I can utilize in my decision making process.

I recommended the 4PL to a buddy of mine looking for a new radio as he was looking to get a 4PKS like mine. I have to say I liked the 4PL for half of the price. I know other people might not like it because it isn't the fastest; I was impressed how much it felt like my 4PKS, lighter and not as fast(I am not fastest enough to tell). Good radio for $220ish(with tower discount) shipped to your house.

With the shorty all the way back you probably were getting a pendulum affect.
