From the NeoBuggy.net article: Warm up winner Batlle TQs Worlds Q1

"""""
Confusion reigned as there were no marshalls out for the first heat which had all the fastest guys in it. Many drivers struggled with the track, having been prepared and fixed overnight with some kind of white powder, this threw drivers off as they had just spent three days worth of practice getting to know what worked and what didn't
"""""

The World's is Ghetto Fabolous!!!

He needs to try working for a living! He could be working 9-5 like the rest of us.

He also got jacked for $500 by customs to get a duffle bag full of clothing through. It is just a bad spot to hold an RC event.

OH MAN, I just noticed they are running Kyosho Uni Shafts also. I wonder what the reason for that is. I think this is the abnormal part of the industry. Thats like Ferrari running Porsche parts the Le mans Series. If I could run laps like Maifield, I would put almost any brand on my car, LOL

Do you really think ae shafts would have worked Alan? This is all apart of testing.. Why on earth would a company make all different parts that may not work when they can use different geometry from other cars until they get what they are looking for.

Notice how the upper A arm wasnt pictured....supposedly Maifield and I assume other AE drivers are running a camber link up top instead of an A arm. Notice the screw with the blue washer and multiple roll center holes drilled around it.

Bearing sizes may be different and its a completely design.. Agama driver kortz is using kyosho shocks and has been almost since the day he signed.

Durango is using kyosho front end with mugen rear...

This is the norm!
