Kyosho makes the wide alloy blocks as well, but they're expensive ($18/each IIRC).

Default Set up question

I see a lot of the driver's set-ups are using the wider rear suspension holders.
How does this make the car handle different versus using the narrow holders
and does it have any effect on what rear arm you run new gull wing arm or older WC arm in the rear? Answers Appreciated!

Well, no offense, but you didn't really win because one of your laps didn't count (shouldn't of). Intentional track cut at 0:33 seconds to take two positions. Track cut + no stop to give positions back = -1 lap.

But I digress... and it looks like everybody there is running the wrong tires. It looks SO loose. Having that low of traction would drive me nuts.

Do you plan on making the trip out to fastlane raceway in blue springs any time soon?
I'd like to be able to come up there but couldn't say when at this point.

even with the weight difference, would a change of spring be necessary? what about caster?

i want to play around with the setup, obviously i'll have to but i also don't want to spend the next 4wks doing it just to be able to feel pseudo-comfortable if i can get a head start from you guys.

i'm going for it for this weekend though. wish me luck.

Prepping for the showdown in 17.5, you know that. With my stock motor, I would of finished 4th in mod, and I had more traffic. Not bad considering I was less than 1 lap down behind John and Ryan two factory team drivers running mod motors. And last I checked, this isn't an AE thread

run 17.5 in mod, you may become even faster, without lap traffic being an obstical, you could through down some flawless runs? just an idea?

The big changes i have made:
Wc rear a arms, 30 degree total caster (0) on the hubs.
.5 degree hubs on the rear.
And i have some gold springs but i have not put them on yet ( for the rear)
