nope. you might have to take the motor out then set the buggy on the box to see when the flywheel on the box is lined up with the hole in the chassis. what motor mounts do you have?

Ran in my first race today. We had 4 1/10 scale, 7 truggies, and 8 buggies so we could only run three classes. After two heats, I qualified 7th. The top 3 guys were significantly better than the next 3, and me and lucky #9 were clearly in the last. In the main (which was 20 minutes), I was doing pretty well until the engine started sounding strained. The air filter and fallen off. My pit guy asked if I wanted to change the zip tie, but I didn't think it would be a problem. One lap later, it fell off again. This time I changed the zip tie, but it was too late; I blew the glow plug and didn't have a replacement.

I ended up in 6th place, but could have gone as high as 4th because everyone else DNF. But I didn't and it was all because of a 10 cent zip tie

On a different note, the tires that come with the Turmoil Pro were holding up well for i the last practice. We haven't had rain around here in months, so the track was pretty dusty.

Today was a different story; a 10 minute heavy rain made the track quite a bit tackier. I was having a tough time getting traction until my pit guy loaned me a set of M3 CrimeFighters for the second heat. When I got finished he said it was like a different driver

I'm thinking of going with the bow-fighter setup. Anyone had any experience with it?

Yesterday's conditions were not dusty at all. On top of the light rain, the track guys ran the sprinklers for about 30 minutes. The CrimeFighters looked like flat orange tires after running on it.

As a precaution I'm planning to take it apart to make sure there isn't a bunch of build-up.

Ive got a quick question when taking a jump with these do you stay on the throttle or what? I took mine to the track today and if I wasnt giving it a good amount of throttle it would nose dive.

I also wanted to know what shock oil you where using? It sounded like the chassis was hitting the ground after a jump.

Giving it throttle will make the nose come up, more spring in the front will make the nose jump up 2. 40wt is what I use on frt and rear.
