Hey Zig,

Ive found that is ok to run left trim in the radio in On-road as long as its the snowbirds as we run backwards there and it sets the car up for all the lefts better....There are usually only 2-3 Right's at the birds!! Not counting the occaisional "peeling" that you'll have to do to remove any hardheads!! LOL

I havent decided either if I am going to run the ROAR nats out here or not either. I guess it depends on how much practice I can get in by then..

Word on the street is that Rupey may be announcing the Summer Nats. If so, I am proud to announce that Putnam Propulsion will be sponsoring the construction of a staircase as well as the RFP cooler fund...get your tickets early, they'll be going fast...:roll:

As for the rumor regarding the Pedro Bonneville, please say it ain't so....:cry:
I hope he didn't kill it "moving the roof back a sixteenth of an inch..."

Actually I sold all of my eighth scale stuff last summer... I think that the only racing that I am going to do this summer is on-road and probably run the Summer Nats. and the Walts Classic. What kinda buggy did you get?

I heard a rumor that a lot of people we're going to not attend the Classic this year...not sure if its true or not....They pissed a lot of people off because they are going to allow Lipos with the regular Nimh cells and such

Sometimes more pre-load in the side shock springs will help the car clear a big triple.
Hope this helps!
