2. Your slipper was too tight as you were wheelying all over on the carpet and which would also mean it was hard to drive on the slippy

Thanks for the advice, will drop the ride height for next time, although i don't have much room on the shock to drop the front much. The slipper was waaaay to tight - think it might have locked up after 15 years of no use! Will be doing a rebuild asap. I think the losi can definately be competitive still - just needs to be set up and be driven by someone who knows what they're doing...
Any advice on gear ratio? I'm thinking a bigger pinion to reduce the torque, the higher top speed doesn't worry me as I virtually never hit full throttle anyway.
As far as the track goes - thanks to all who built it. I found the wall hard, in fact, I found the jumps hard too but that's because I'm a bit crap...! I would like less slippy, but again, only because I find it VERY hard to drive on. Trying to balance a car on super high grip, and then on super slippy makes it impossible to find a good set up?? Either way, I loved it so see you 4 weeks...
