On the brake linkage.. there is short medium tension spring and silicon fuel tube before plastic end. Why shoter spring than throttle? because when using longer spings, your throttle springs will reach dead end first before maximum brake. Why +silicon tube, because the shorter spring on brake wont be long enough to reach the end threat of that plastic end on brake linkage. I urge you to try it.. it will sure make your driving much faster.
PS: Lower front shore would definitely works to gain more front traction. I`m just having a really bad bad bad experience with it on our National championsip. Since between lower and higher shore rating would react differently in different temperature, that was disaster on the condition I was running on final (tarmac temp varies within 15deg C on and off in 45 minutes).

For the diff ball, use AE stealth grease or a similar grease for ball diffs (i personally use the IRS stuff in the syringe).

Bro, we have mostly hot climate tracks here. A friend of ours drives with the best tire brand and found the traction to be inconsistant. I think he was using 37 or 35 shore. When he used another brand which was 40 shore for the final, he found that he could drive more easily with it.

Whats that stuff you put on the end of your pipe? Its looks like some kind of cement thing, does it protect your pipe from bending inwards from side impacts?

Anyone use digital servos, how much battery does it drain more compared to standard servos? I would like to use it for my throttle(Futaba S9451)will it fit the 710? What are your thoughts on digital servos?

Here is a pic of the track that I race at, which pipe would you recommend for this track?

Most high end digital servo are all good now and bigger capacity of battery (800mah) has becoming available. I run Futaba S9550 is just because they are smaller which would leave me more room to accomodate other things and not to mention the weight saving. S9550 (6kg tourqe, 0.1 sec) on both steering and throttle. Most of the pros even choose analog for throttle

The prices are pretty much similar so not sure which to get regarding servos. I am leaning towards digital since its a newer technology.
