Also keep in mind that the shorter chassis is a different and much softer material!

Try it and see if you like it.
I may just do that

Well I am not worried about soft or anything, cause I don't break much on my buggys lol, I haven't had em that long and they are still just as good as the day I got em, the wing is trashed tho, cause I had to figure out how to handle the lil buggers
Thanks for the 411, helpful as always

I have driven one for a few laps, and it feels, well different. I figured I wont know until I put it through the ringer, so it is about to go through it.

I just picked up the 4.2 and I need a good setup for it. The track is indoor, medium traction, fairly smooth but can develop some holes. It is NOT clay. Any setup recommendations?

Going to be there Friday? You can check out my buggy.

White rear springs, and green up front is a good starting point. 32.5F/30R with the standard 1.6 pistons. I haven't been to the indoor track in a loooooong time, but if there aren't any big jumps then give the 1.7 pistons a go with 37.5F/35 rear a go. I have a lot of testing to do since I haven't run 1/8th or 1/10th in a few months.

You already know what to go to for tires. Are you going to be running mod or stock?

It's not a durability issue... The softer chassis totally sucks on medium to high grip tracks

Thanks, I won't be there Friday. I'll probably be at the outdoor track getting in some practice before the race Saturday. I'm gonna run stock until I get comfortable with this car but I'll be switching to mod soon.

Looks like the C4.2's are in stock. Definitely thinking about trying one out.
