Well guys we are almost ready to release this car and If you like a Tbar you will love this one.

We were able to get more testing in with the car last night, the balance of the car is awesome it takes very little effort to tweak,we were able to make small adjustments to the car with the side springs on the dampener tubes,with that being said you were able simulate a stiffer tbar with out changing one.

We were also able to test the Crc front end verse the Ae front end,we found that the car performed well with both so I am sure it will suit either personal preference.

Stay tuned

How long has it been in testing... and I like the idea of the springs on the dampener tubes.

I know IRS used to have the springs on the damper tubes on the Rugrat. Not sure if they were the first or if the idea was borrowed from someone else.

This is true. I have only seen a couple of drivers pull off the aluminum screws in the front of the Formula front arm successfully. I don't recommend it for club racing, unless you are going to use one-run tires all the time... If you do this, let me know, I will pay shipping for your cast-offs.

The Formula Rev.5 kit comes with stainless screws that have been undercut. The shallower countersink allows the screw to grip the material over a larger distance. Whether it is required or not is another story, Bruce uses an excellent grade of CF. It could probably have been mounted with smaller screws and gotten away with it, but this car was engineered with everyone in mind.. not just the uber wheels.

I use the Lunsford screws because I can't help but hack up the phillips screws... Otherwise, my car would be all standard issue.

Steve we have had the car under testing for the last month,we have a nice carpet track pretty close so we have been able to go out pretty often.

You are correct IRS created the dampener concept we are trying.

.

WORD. I just use the Lunsfords so I don't have to tote around a stupid phillips head screwdriver. The car comes outta the box ready to dominate.

I'm not sure either. I do remember someone modifying the old HPI F1 front end to use damper tubes with springs many many years ago. Helped reduce the problem of the arm flex because the spring interacted with the outside of the arm rather then the middle of the arm.

I can't wait.

Jeez...

I've been waiting and waiting for PRS to clear backorders to Stormer for the larger pinions and smaller spurs so I can plop the 17.5 in my 1/12 car. Of course they're taking their sweet time about it.

Anybody know anyplace that has pinions in the high 40's through mid 50's and the 76t spurs in stock?

Those are IRS tubes

Everywhere I've looked has been out of 40's pinions of all brands...I did find some 88T PRS spurs at RC4Less.

Windtunnel Racing Products has PRS spurs, and some of the pinion sizes. Finding 51T to 58T is nearly impossible right now.

If anyone can see an opportunity, making large pinions is "it" right now.

If youre looking for small spurs try schumacher

They carry the RW spurs and they go down to 76 teeth too. Very similar in design to the PRS spurs.

Try http://nexusracing.net/ for the pionions and spurs, or Lefthander-rc.

Well they have half the pinion sizes I am looking for...
