Raced the car today at last at Worksop. First time out with the car, first buggy race in years, straight into 1st round without practice. Nearly out of the box setup, only 30W/25W oils F/R and the car was great, handled fine on the lippy bit, but mostly cleared the bumps and jumps like they weren't there.
As I didn't have any thicker oil in my box, I decided to change pistons and went for the smaller holes all round, and that was I think a mistake, I should have done it only at the front as now the rear end would want to go over the front over the table top that i'd cleared so easily in rd 1. Drove like a numpty in that round and ended up bending the rear turnbuckle mount.  Didn't change anything for rd 3, only didn't try clearing the table top and even with a bent car, I qualified 3rd, only 3 of us did 16 laps... Two strong finals ending up 3rd in each and 3rd overall. Very happy with the car, I'm gonna see if champ can sort me out with a new part b4 Batley, and will try and find some 35W and AE springs to put Jimmy's setup.

I hope the "hex head ball connectors" are Ti not steel. Have already snapped one of the ball studs, leaving the thread stuck in the rear upper arm mount
 Thats after snapping a front shock shaft. The steel parts certainly do seem to be a bit brittle

Dunno, didn't have a bad stack at all. Just landed from a small jump, went around a corner and noticed the rear end all out. Snapped the ballstud under the hex part right where the thread starts.
Am looking at getting a screwset from RCchamp, allegedly better than the stock screws. Would hope so, the damn car tries to shake itself apart!

Maybe you just had a faulty part, like with a bubble trapped inside ? I mean I bent the actual part where the ball joint screws into (yes the big aluminium bridge !!!) but the ball joint has got nothing
 I'd rather have snapped it tbh...

In the kit there is just one black and one white pulley, 35 and 36t respectively.
The Yokomo cell holders won't fit I'm afraid - I tested it and it was a long way off (I think the holes would have to be a lot bigger, but my memory is poor!

Jimmy your right the yoke cell holders are way too big, shame really, and the associated ones dont fit either, so it is file and chamfer the carbon Im afraid!!

Not damaged any cells when Ive been racing with an undertray. Defo on the associated springs though.

Not sure I understand mate - The damaged cells thing is because of the carbon chassis - if you don't prepare it then you certainly risk it cutting into the shrink. As long as it's prepared properly it should be fine. There is no substitute for plastic trays tho - they hold the cells much better.

Springs, there is no need for the b4 shocks as the standard Tamiya shocks are well up to the job. The only thing I would consider on the tamiya shocks is replacing the front shock shafts with Yokomo MR4BX front items.

Sweet looking fix there Fab, but how does that effect the roll centre and the cars handling?
