Holy man! Wheelies you say? Wow have'nt been on in awhile, to lazy i guess.
Scrad, Don should have some extra bodies there if you would like to try one. I think Dan will be running one. Sorry no paint jobs, I ain'tz gotz the time or the energy. I'm burnt out.

Still no MI2, this blows. Should have my hands on a PRO4 tomorrow if anyone is interested.
See yall Saturday.

Pro 3-I'll give you my set-up that I ran after the USTC race this weekend. The set-up is super agressive, but fast if you can drive it. I just have to dig it out of the pile of Losi stuff in the corner.

thanx brian, gotta a few questions. First, i run stratus bodies, i'm going to try another racers alpha body next week at my lhs track, see how i like it, right now i like the 2.0, but if there is a huge difference, i'll be giving jason another call, hehe. Also, in the rear, i run the losi low, but grind some more off them to get them lower, i'm trying that next week too. Would it be okay to run the assoc. hexs in the rear, i don't have any spacers that fit nice, and i got plenty of hexs. Also, lol, how do you check droop, i don't use the screws(bent bumpers), so how do you check it now, before i just left it be. other than that, my set up is the same, purple plaids, how far do you true them down? I got about 2, 1/8 inch right now(no metric ruler handy). Last thing, i have the old style chassis(keep breaking them, but there cheaper than the new ones), so i can't change the ack. How is your driving style, very laid back smooth, or aggresive, on the edge of crashing, lol.
