I was in front of sand bucket (race track boundary) after a jump and just want to wait until the others are gone, but then there came a big short course.....

If you're careful, the pin can be straightened and used until you get a new one. I take a small vise/anvil to the track and some of the racers use it to hammer the pins straight for reuse. Just FYI.

Thanks, we talked about the possibility to hammer it, but on the race we didn't get it out of the A-Arm, at home i did it with a big gripper.
The race before was very nice, i got a lot of tips for my setup from the other racers (different springs, correction of the steering, different fix points dor the dampers, etc.) very hopeful for me and my first drive

I ran 25/20 in mine with standard pistons and it seems to be ok. it felt like too much body roll on high grip carpet though.

Any chance you can give a detailed account of the fitting of the Tresrey rear hubs? I have just bought a pair and need to know how to dremel the rear arm whilst still having enough adjustment. Is that a tresrey chassis in the hauler?

That's not an RC car, it is a work of art!

I haven't raced since I was a kid 20 years ago but found this forum and have been lingering for a few months. I still have my procat!

The engineering and attention to detail is just superb, this is what should be winning the turner prize!!
