I thought you were running a b4, see in your sig your running an AARMA? Don't know anything about them but I know the AE slipper plates fit other vehicles. Might ask a b4 owner at your track if you can compare your slipper plates to his. Or see if AE spurs will work.

No, i use alot of b4 set-up stuff since its virtually the same weight and set-up when i compared them but i do have the b4.1 worlds shocks and they helped alot but need to do the BB spring conversion since the stock springs rub the shock body but im working on the gearing and track time is a big issue so i like to go prepared and was thinking of buying one of the combo packs of pinions so i could play around but dont want to get the 30-35t pack if i need to be even higher

I am running blinky 17.5 at the jconcepts race coming up, I am doing sct and b4.2
I have revtech 17.5 and a d3.5 maxilla 17.5 is there any opinions on what motors to run in which car? is the d3.5 noticably faster than the revtech to the point where I should buy another maxilla?
Also I have sxx v2 with update, tekin rs with latest software that I can pair up with each or a speedpassion just stock speedo.
I am trying to figure out where the best power comes from with these. I was running the maxilla 17.5 in my sct with the speedpassion speedo and it ran good, I ended up just gearing it lower just to be able to make the doubles at the race. But my instincts where telling me to keep putting gear on it till it made temp. I did that and it was fast but I couldn't get enough bottom end to clear the doubles. Let me know if you have and solid pointers.

Just went to MM4 with the new car so I am still dialing it gearing. Nest step is cut gears and figuring out how to make the Avid top shaft and Triad work.

LOL! Nope. Stock is the eternal search for why the other guys car stomps yours. I don't share tuning info for stock class too often. I have friends that go as far as removing battery decals for club racing so nobody buys the same batteries as they have.
