If your track uses calcium to help keep the dirt together it will cause steel parts to rust. Wipe them down with some WD40 and it will take care of that issue.

Great! More things that I'll have to buy....LOL! The steering assembly does look trick. Might even tighten things up a bit, not that my stock assembly has given me any problems.

That does look sweet. I assume it eliminates the servo saver but it looks like there's still a spring at the bottom. Hard to really tell though.

I find funny is people were trying to come in through the door and Jason kept putting his hand up to stop them.

Man, I LOVE this car! First day out with the 44.2 and had a blast! I used crappy electronics that were just laying around and they are definitely not worthy of the 44.2. Time for some new electronics so I can really scoot. This thing is so much fun to drive....it's on rails!

Liked the taller ride height raza, dropped 0.5 seconds on my fast lap and same on average.

Also changed rs pro to throttle curve 2 and it was really smooth

The JConcepts offset cup. I've only seen one person run them though.

They are made by JConcepts. You'd also need the JC short turnbuckles as well. Money is probably better spent on $5 worth of RPM ball cups and tires or track time.

Thanks... You ever make it up to Wisconsin to race besides trackside??

Hideeho
Does the 44 want short or long RPM cups?
