It all depends on the state of your marriage/relationship.

Phil - just another potential to add to your list. I ran the dBoots Multibytes front and back at Southport open track on Sunday. The track was damp, but not wet and I felt the tyres were an ideal compromise between Schuy yellow mini spikes and Ballistic greens.

Oh, and in 6 races I didn't break anything - a first for my Durango, and I still have the plastic saver fitted - but looser than before.

I fully agree. Go for the 410 Full Fat and you haven't finished, you then need to buy:-
  • Plastic side bars to get more flex.
  • Titanium, turnbuckles, rod ends and ball studs to stop the standard cheapo's popping off.
  • Tresrey aluminium servo saver.
