Can someone ask Brian Thomas to please post his 1:10 scale set-up from the Capital Classic at 301 on here. I would appreciate it.

i will try the 4mm chassis again probably, but i don't see myself sticking to it.
in some cases this is true for some ppl to have the car easier to drive,
i have the same chassis and i need that kind of steering and yes the kknack is more responsive than the kawaharra

i noticed the new arms have the pin holes cut out in the arm in a upwards angle, (ie kicking it kick up) i didn't notice this with the old arms
i did not see this but ill look again,i thought the cutouts where just for the knuckle

the novarossi plus 12 is harder to tune
its hard to explain i just like the workmanship of the ninja and it runs nice.

I dont know about Atomic, but the Mugen and Kawahara oneway diff's are the best ones on the market

Starting from the stock set-up, what do you guys do to stop traction roll?

if you are running a 1 way this can be a problem
try standing the shocks 1 hole.
but if you run on a small track try a diff up front and use 30.000 oil and the rear use 10.000, this is easy to drive this way and you can never traction roll,
but it may be a tad slower in the corners.

with running diffs my shocks are
front, piston 1.2 oil 450, spring purple
rear, piston stock, oil 450, spring light blue.

tires 37 or 40.

Well, actually I had traction roll on a big, high bite track running 42's front and rear. I was using a one-way with 50K oil in the rear diff. Thanks for the advice though.

I'm going to be putting my MTX-4 up for sale in the next few days for a pretty good price. Front & rear universals, Kawahara one-piece engine mount, hubs and rollover bar plus a few 3Racing upgrades. No electronics or engine. If you're interested in picking it up before it's posted in the For Sale section, send me a PM.
