Most of the tracks I run are medium bite. Thanks

There is a few parts that is recommended to get with the car.
The Q-spec comes with CNC servo saver top.
1. JQB0194: +1mm wheel hexes
2. JQB0197/198 (High wing mount)
3. JQB0390B (Easy brake system - makes it a lot easier to change your brake bias)

There is a ridiculous amount of information available how to setup your Black Edition for your track conditions:
Setup guide: Setup Guide ? BLACK Edition ? JQRacing
Setup sheets: Setup Sheets ? BLACK Edition ? JQRacing
+ Liam and JQ are always available.

I have a practice day and race day through my car and so far the car has been awesome.

I don’t know but I went to Tower Hobbies thinking I was ordering a case of energy drinks and got this crappy RC car. I am so confused. 😳

Maybe having the 15º caster blocks at hand, nothing else needed like pistons, springs, box stock is very competitive.

Doesn't the heavier sway bar take away steering?

Depends on the rest of the setup as always. The way I set up my car was to get the car to stay more on the nose initially, in the end, the front shock oil was too thin but ran out of time to change it.

It depends upon the conditions. Sometimes a stiff front bar can make the car a little more aggressive beacause of the controlled weight shift.

Is the q-spec setup with emulsion shocks? If not, Is it something that should be done right away. Also, what size battery do you guys use for the receiver.

You only need to cut the bladder if you want to have emulsion shocks.

Hi Guys, I have been trying to purchase the Spec-Q from usa.jqracing.com but i am experiencing some weird billing issues. Basically the order comes out to $682.98 and says it will be charged in Euros for 620E. But when you click 'place order' it takes you to a screen that says 620 Euros converts to $738 dollars. Which is the correct price? $738 or $682?

My brother is trying to buy the black friday deal for me for christmas but he is unsure about this currency conversion stuff. Please help!
