The cat just hooked up and took off, its incredible how such a small change can make that much of a difference.

The only problem I'm still having is with the rear drive shafts popping out every now and then, thats only when I crash and cartwheel mind you but it still happens. Any ideas?

I am glad your cat went well!!!
You need to lose a little bit of droop, this should stop the driveshafts from poping out.

Do any of you use schumacher tires? Due to the fact that mostly everybody at the track uses a certain tire, that has been proven to work well, I have done the same. What I want to do is use Schumacher tires for the Cat and Cougar, but I don't know what works well. I figure the Blue mini pin works on medium to hard surfaces, but since I haven't even touched them I don't have a clue.

It would be nice if some of the team drivers could make a chart that defines tires to the proper suface.

Schumacher tyres will not work unless you are racing on carpet, grass, astroturf or polished wood.
You can see the treads on the website. The compounds from hardest to softest blue, green and yellow. Yellow is still harder than anything by proline or losi.

If you're running on clay or dirt do not bother trying them. They will not work.

I need to find a way to keep the front end more stable at speed. My front seems to bounce in the air most of the time at full speed. I was going to add 1/2 ounce lead in the front or lighten up the springs and oil. I'm running 30wt oil in the front with grey rear springs. I'm hesitant to lighten the springs because its handling the jumps great....I'm stuck.
