Thanks scottmen! I didn't think it would be that easy! I've been reluctant since I haven't seen the cartridges for sale yet just in case I destroy it trying to take it apart!

Ran our ROAR Regionals this past weekend at Dave's RC Tracks in Hubbard, OR. Missed TQ by .3 seconds. 
Ended up 2nd overall. Ran a Murfdogg 5.5 540 motor all weekend and had more that enough power over the other trucks. Truck performed great, I had a few bobbles but was a great event over all. The winning truck was a Durango 
(running a 540 motor also)

Good Job Cameron! That's another thing I'm going to try this coming weekend is a 5.5 540...I originally bought it for this truck but got kinda scared and also bought a 4.5 550. I also have a couple guys at my local track that run a 5.5 540 in thier durangos and they are the fast guys in the class, so I'm going to give the 5.5 540 a shot this weekend, thanks for reminding me!

Mine is from the first batch from Tower... I am using two thin shims (total of 0.2 mm) after the slipper thrust washer. I have not measured the thrust spacer but I use the shims just in case.
My local track is a combination of dirt, some parts loose some parts hard packed and it also has sections with astro turf. So the driving surface varies around the track. I do also run the Castle 3800. I have not been anywhere near to do a wheely on the astro turf (high bite)...

my son lost 2 seperate wheels, 3 times during practice yesturday using the protrac wheels. I'm going to try some trx nuts and maybe take some material off the wheels to see if that helps.
I'm running the stock wheels with no issues

I run zero speedo timing and another -5 on the motor. I would start with with motor timing as low as you can go with first. I was running a 14/93 for best performance. With a 16/93 the tires would lite up so bad that it would get loose on the straight! I do have a fan that blows on the motor also and helps keep the temps in the correct range.
