I am no stranger to how suspension works and how to adjust it. Hell, i have to calculate where the adjustments go.

Glad to see your back running off road again Jason

that's interesting . what/who is the source you heard from ?
rumours talk sometimes turns true sometimes not. other rivals sources uses such way to build pressure on other competitions companies either left their current production on shelf ( not buyable ) because racers will prefer waiting for the 2nd updated version or to force the manufacturer to quickly unveil their future plans.

Been doing really well, thanks for asking. I absolutely LOVE this car. It really fits me as a previous onroad racer. I really like how well it responds to changes that you make on the car. Also the durability.

Is it a good idea to have one as a spare !

The wing does a great job of protecting the rear tower, the front on the other hand....

A buddy of mine has a guy who does it. Any anodizer should be able to, they usually charge "per dip", so do everything all at once. Turned out real good, pics don't give it justice. And yeah sorry for the quick wiring with the dumb looking yellow heat shrink haha. That will be changed of course.

I lucked out and my buddy did it for me for free. I think it would have been like 40 bucks probably. Thanks for the complements!

Is their a rule of thumb when dealing with diff fluid ?
What does heavier/lighter in front ,mid,rear do ?
What extremes have u all gone to during testing .
I want to try 15k or so in front and center . seems like it would make it more responsive if driven with a smooth throttle finger . one one care to share their insight.
