Good report!
How do you think if would differ if you were to run the longer shocks/tower on the front?
If you get a chance, can you post up the part#'s that worked using the hexes front and rear with the Dynotech arms?

I'm not sure... But it sure worked good this way.
I ended up 4th in the main... Popped a ballcup on 2nd lap. Came out of that in last place but on same lap still... Fast lap of the race was a 24.1, I had 2nd fastest at 24.3. Car is good. I'll make it faster. I like this car a lot. It feels nearly as good as my b4.2.
I'll post up the setup for dyno tech arms.. Give me a couple days. I have to do wife stuff tomorrow.

What are you running against? 22's, B4's what? I have something similar in the works. Have you noticed a difference in handling between the short and long wheel base? Great looking car homie.
In Christ,

22's, B4's, I think there was an RB6 in there too. I was the only vintage car.
I thought I would lose some steering in the deal, but its hard to say. The car is so different from my other old runner its too hard to know exactly what makes the difference. I will have to run this car in the short wheelbase to know for sure the difference. Since I use chassis protector, that will have to be tested on a nightly bases. For now, I want to get this car the best it can be with me driving it, then I will test it in shorter wheelbase.
One thing for sure, this car eats bumpy sections for lunch!

I've been running at Warehouse 3, I like the indoor. Don't have to take a tent and table... Will be there Saturday.
Who are you?
