Someone posted some vid from Reedy on the main Reedy race thread...
Anyone doubting that the Mi3 was dialed should check that vid out. Weylin's car looked awesome he just had some bad luck. Scotty even comments at one point during the vid that Weylin was the fastest car on the track.
Good job to all the Schu peeps who raced at Reedy.

4. Put on setup station to check camber and toe.
5. Take off setup station and put on tires.
6. Check tweak on a tweak station or by lifting one end at a time. Don't adjust by droop screws. You've already made sure the droop is equal on both sides. Use your shock collars. If you have to have too much of a difference in your preload, double check your droop settings and that the chassis is flat.

BTW- I still think you could have done a 12.4 with headlights.

I guess Dale from Protoform agrees with you guys too. RCCA wanted to shoot some photos of my body but A-Lo had to donate some headlight stickers before Dale would let them shoot the body lol. I am guessing 12.8 if I would have run them during the race though.

Did anyone try the DNA asphalt at the Reedy race? I really like mine on my MI2 EC and now on my MI3. It has really good steering and overall traction.

Good Day
Do you guys put lube in your front cvd's ? (if so which one?), i find if i run them try i have small iron fillings on the inside bearings where the axle rubs the cvd cup.
Also i used to use Tribo Power Matrix as a bearing and bushing lube, and found it the best to use for this purpose, i can no longer get a hold of it, what alternatives could i use, Something that is found in everyday hardware stores and is just as good, either reel oil, gun oil, valve oil ? for bearings and bushings?
Thanks alot guys.

You can call it Pound It Racing. Bodies, motors, and really bad setups. I'm working on that.
