BTW, when I first started back with RC 10+ years ago, I was bashing all the time, but when I started to race, the only time my car saw the pavement was on race day on a track. Since I ended those days several years ago, the two cars I have left have been turned into shelf queens, but I'm getting the itch. But I have to convert them back b/c there is no way I'm running them in their current setup.

But yea it's not recommended for bashing, don't do what I do

You mean you want to mold plastic or something?

the holes you just place the body over the car and use a reamer to make them.

Status: offline 		So I took the .28 out, and threw the .21 nova in, still messing with the gears and tune it's not really screaming up top but I'm fine tuning it.
Going to try a different plug as well, I'm running OD 97t and I got some 99t's to try.
I got some decent runs in today in the heat (88* outside), I think when it cools down outside I will get some good ones in!


Btw I am not running a body on this one, it runs great without the body, no lift at all.

Status: offline 		just set your trim for straight at full speed, there is some play in the steering and when you get up to speed it forces it one way or the other and stays there, I would reccomend getting the aluminum steering arms, less play.

trying out this body!

fit's nice! hope it doesn't lift.

Status: offline 		Like I stated above, It's just losing it's play in the steering as the speed gets higher the wheels don't wiggle around anymore they stay rigid.
So the trim that works while moving slow will not work while moving fast, my trim is bias to the left so when I am driving slow my car always pulls just a bit to the left but when it gets up to speed it's straight as an arrow.

no biggie, run your car full throttle and see which way it wants to go then set the trim to counter that.
