Default GT7 in BMI

Hey BMI racers,

I wanted a cleaner wiring on my car so I mounted the NOvak Super schottky diode under the driveshaft by soldering the wires directly onto the solder tabs on the bottom of the ESC. I then mounted the diode under the driveshaft with dbl stick tape.

HEres a pic from the battery side. Looks better than it glued to the top of the ESC or hangin in space!!

Default Pro 4

Jason,

I sent the kit top deck to you next day air You will have in the a.m. to compare......

Pro 4 racer's... Here is a set up for carpet with foams that has been dialed for me. In stock that is......

Front:
#4 piston w/50 wt. Losi oil
Losi white spring
inside on arm
laid in third hole on tower
camber link is out and shimmed low (2mm spacer)
6 degree caster blocks
.5mm anit-dive
low roll centers
1mm up travel (droop)
kit sway bar
4mm ride height
-1.5 camber
2.5 block (arm sweep)

rear:
#4 piston w/45 wt. Losi oil
Losi black spring or white
middle hole on arm
out on tower
camber link inside shimmed high (4mm)
outside on hub
standard wheel base (large shim in rear)
.5mm anti-squat
low roll centers
1.5mm up travel (droop)
no bar
4mm ride height
-1.5 camber
2.5 toe block
RC-Square .5 rear hubs reversed (total of 2.0 rear toe) Cannot wait for HPI to release the blocks...

BSR purple orange front
BSR purple rear
Tires are same as Jaco

This set up has been very good for me at multiple tracks. I will post more as I find new adjustments...

To note:
BMI 3mm chassis/top deck/shock towers. These are soon to be realeased if not already. I will provide feedback of the stiffer carbon Sunday night after racing. It fixed any tweak issues, is rock solid, and most important beautiful

Schumacher:

For anyone interested in why I am no longer running the Schumacher. Before rumors start, etc..

The Mi2 is a great car. My car worked pretty good at Snowbirds, but I have struggled a little with it at home. It is just a new car and design and it takes time to get them right. I guess I was not really committed to put that time in right now. Paul Wynn and Schumacher treated me great. They are a stand up group of guys.

Anyone running the Mi2 keep an eye out for the all new P-Dub Racing product line. Going to be killer stuff.
