Hi All,

I was at the same meeting as Jason, I used TRF501x medium front springs and AE Silver rears for all the heats, then swapped to orange/yellow on Jason's recommendation for the final.

Although bad driving from me meant it wasn;t a successful day, was v.impressed with the car, and also can agree with Jason on those springs being a good base.

Couple of issues I may have had, which wouldn't mind people confirming were a bad idea:

1. I used 4wd front tires instead of narrower 2wd, and suffered lots of grip rolling. Any chance these were related?

2. Is it good to have plenty of ride height to be as smooth as possible over the bumps?

3. I never use drag brake on my transmitter setup, but find I often don't turn in tight enough due to push. Do most of you use some drag brake to ensure weight transfer (I have the same weight transfer problem with all kits, so it must be something in my driving style!?)?

Again, v.impressed with the car, ran like a dream, just my driving to fix!

Cheers,

Dave
