The rear shocktower: mine broke broke when I flipped the car after a small but difficult jump ... but I guess it had much to do with the fact that 5 minutes earlier another driver crashed really hard into my car from behind. I wanted to take a jump securely, he wanted to just jump over all other drivers I guess. Unfortunatly my RB5 MCS was in his path.
Just let me know how much I owe you and I 'll pay you through paypal asap.

I discovered something when tuning the car: I added some weights (lead) just behind the battery-pack, on both sides of the motor, so that the car was better balanced. I must have added about 40 grams, I think.
It made the car much steadier.
I also measured it (with a balance and a calculater ) and it gave the car a front-rear-weight ratio of 63% (63% of the weight on the rear-wheels of the car).

I'm also starting to tune the car up on our BCA-track (the EIR-track) to prepare for the upcomming BRCC Winter Trophy, and the next EIR-competition.
Hi Ludo,

I don't have any spare gearboxes at the moment but as soon as I do I'll let you all know. Will you want a shock tower right away or will you want to wait for the gearbox? I'm leaving for the euros soon...
