Sorry that was a type-o I am Running a 43mm rollout with 100 spur and 29 pinion on 47mm tires I have been testing a 40mm using a 27 Pinion and I have sceen better temps on the motor and better lap times. Everyone one here is running about 38-44mm rollout.
The track is fairly small and I acheve full speed at about the 2/3 mark of the straight. it's actually funny that the fastest guys are runnign the smallest rollout.
I think it's weird but that's just me.
For the Front end. I forgot to mention that I just installed the New Pro-Strut for the GenX onto my 3.2 and the first time out it was good so I don;t think that it is the springs. but I will reset the front end so it is level.
Thanks for the info on the rear pod. I'll check out that sitting level thing.
You guys are great

That Mugen is one cool looking car, double deck old school style!!!
I'm going through my 12L4 since I shelfed it who knows how long ago and want to reroute the wires. Does anyone have a picture or 2 of a good clean t-bar specific installation? I'm running brushed for now (Novak GTS, 4mm gold plugs, 16g wire).
Also, I read a post a few days ago about running the positive wire from the battery to the motor first and having the jumper going to the ESC rather than the way I've usually done it with the jumper going to the battery....? I'm having a little trouble picturing how to do this cleanly, anyone with a pic?
Thanks in advance!!!

I run the regular weight bodies all the time. They're just a little heavier and you shouldn't notice any performance difference at club level.

Plus, I've always felt I drive better with a new, fresh body. Kinda that you just did it and don't want to hammer it kinda thing. More careful.
Schmeer a bit of shoe-goo over the wheel well area of the front tires. keeps a new body from cracking out as quickly. Pick up or make a bumper for the car. Saves a lot.

The pro strut front end is great but i have found that i am replacing springs all the time due to them collapsing, this cam make a big difference to the way the car handles. Take the springs off the car and measure them, i normally buy 10 sets and then match them up, in the last batch i bought i was amased at all the different lengths i found
