Default Future Track Layout+pro4 help

http://www.fastlanerc.com/track.html

Im going to try to get my racing good enough to race with the Washington DC boys, I basically got all winter to prepare. I've got a bunch of titanium stuff comming, but I figure with all that im going to have to add those weight bars because this track actually weighs your car.[:@] Im going to run my novak brushless on GP3300's (or maby buy then 3700's[&:]) So what all do I need?

What kind of tires would you recommend for roar, I think im going to get this: CADILLAC CTS - VR body... since its roar legal and start testing it out. I think this is still a spool track (let me know if you dont think so)

Any help with this is much appreciated!

Dunno if its legal...but a lotta guys at my LHS use Mazda 6 bodies...they say it, along with the stratus have the most downforce for racing. Aparently they like it

Hi 45, hows it going, i know the pro4 inside out as you know so ill give you a hand if you could answer me a few questions, which motor will you be using, and i presume you will be running on carpet.
And what characteristics do you look for in a set up?

Asphalt, novak ss 5800, I like raw power and power on command, that some times gets me introuble on a track, but most of the time works well for me. I like it to handle like its on rails, and I like for the back end to stay stable, i've never liked the set-ups where you try to lighten up the rear end so it can almost powerslide throught the turn. I like bling, but since im racing with the big boys I will take what ever works best.

hi 45,
http://www.hpieurope.com/graphics/se...e_Bedworth.pdf take that set up and make the following changes,
Ride height 5.5mm, no roll bars, and use an associated blue spring all round.
