Hey xxxkat my cuda did the same thing twitchy...No you don't need to change the med arm..if you are runing carpet ,the med arm are better ..first thing you want to do it reduce the streering on your radio and the front shock tower position used the third hole from outside and the rear, lay the shock all theway down to the second last holes,,and use 22 pound spring in the front and the rear 20 pound spring, this set up should smooth out your driving..works for me
NO SWAY BAR and this it rubber tire set up for high grip carpet

I have my drivetrain pretty free on the r2. With that single bearing holder that KO provided me and a lengthy break in period, i can get it to sping 8 - 10 seconds depending on how hard i flick the tires. This is with crappy steel bearings as well.
I do have a sparkly setup board now though so i get some of the r3 bling.
Also, I believe a new cuda chassis from BMI will be available soon too.

OVA,its an outdoor asphalt track, low to med bite(my cuda was HOOKED up) I just had waaaaay to much steering,I am running the white springs up front and the red springs in the back,front shocks are mounted top outside hole,bottom outside,and running a diff up front.I had my steering dialed out (75%) I guess I should dial out more.

Man I feel for my buddy. He ordered a new R3 and when it arrived and opened the seeal it was missing the chassis. Now he has to send it back and wait for another one to come.

So what is BMI going to do chassis wise for the cuda? are the plans for the R2 or R3 or both
