My car feels really good, the driver however was not as good .

I haven't noticed him driving alot, I do know he had a speedo acting up and switched it out for a new one, and was glueing tires and tuning shocks today. I'll get some video tomorrow as I'm sure he will be with the rest of the fast guys (Tebo, Maifield, Cavaleri, King, Robbers etc) tomorrow in the actual qualifying heats.

Trying to make the car as good as possible before release. I know they made some last minute changes.

This buggy or the X-ray is in my list for consideration for next season.
The nitro Serpents at the local track are very nice.

I dont think the market for E-truggy is very strong. I love them and have 2 but I either have to run with nitro truggy or hope and pray enough show up wich is not very often. The track I used to use the most just closed and we could on any given day have 5-10 e truggys or we could run with e buggy. but the other tracks dont have that much turn out but thats in Georgia I dont know how other regions are.

After scanning the directions I noticed that the kingpins and lower shock mounts are secured with set screws.

Why such a poor result at the ROAR 1/8 buggy nationals? Was it the level of competitive drivers as opposed to the chassis?

Not sure, just different for me. I am used to tenth scale and I had not seen it before. It is cool imo.
