Jake, I am glad to see you keeping up around here. I posted above the handling issues I had, but literally put 5 laps on the car before Q1, overall, very happy. After I get a fresh set of race arms (would have loved to been able to get a set of machined arms, one day :) ) it will be back at the track. Really happy with how quick, nimble and well it jumped.

I'd love to find a nice dirt outdoor track to run on...not blue groove, hard packed. A nice loamy track, like Rod and Anthony ran theirs on.

I put 5 squares of lead up front. Just under the steering assembly. Ran it again, push isnt quite a bad but still present. The new thicker race arms worked a treat. Even took a few tumbles. Car is really fast and still jumps awesome. Soaks up the bumps really well too :)

Cant wait to get back to the track to dial this push out and REALLY start kicking some modern car tail :mrgreen:

Mark, the car is grossly underweight as-is, I just tip the scales at about 1400 now. I think it is more set up than anything else, but I do have a different front tire I am going to try (next time at this same track). When I ran it on indoor clay, it was pretty much undriveable with the push, that was using the tires directly off my TQ B3 in the same class. That pushes me to set up :)
