That's kind of funny, Phil even left trinity, the one full deal oval guy that they had even left. I guess if that doesn't say enough about that last nightmare car.. nothing does :)

I have one on the way. I am looking forward to some fast laps!!!

Steve S. do you have any plans on doing an "aggressor" logo the same way you did the custom works rc cars logo? Thanks!

I doubt ... man I had way too much time on my hands then lol ... just too busy last few weeks , and with the Snowbird Nats coming fast ... I really doubt ... but maybe Dusty Kemp (BlueLineRacer) he's the logo expert!

Decals for the cars would be nice.

hey Dusty K....send me the logos (e-mail)....

ericsalvas@sympatico.ca

is it a vector type file.....(to cut into vinyl)

Now that the decal issue has been settled, were the kits shipped yet? I seem to recall that either last week or this week they were supposed to be sent.

I talked to Arnie earlier this week they were extremely busy, you should give them a call ... you'll always get an answer with the phone.

I think they were expecting more hardware (screws, nuts and such) in order to ship more kits.

Will they ship this week or not?

From a very good source "They are packaging them as we speak, and they ship tomorrow"

Later,, Bret

Todd, did you get my e-mail about some parts for the cars? if so, let me know. Thanks.

The tplate's that comes with the kit. Are they x cut like a ksg or straight like associated. And what thicknes. About to get my kit and was just wondering.

So did all the back orders get filled or are they still filling orders?

Hey guys a quick question, did anyone have any trouble with the countersunk screws not setting flush with the bottom of the chassis? Thanks

The Blue 8-32 screws in my kit have a 82* head. The gold ones have a 100* head. I dont know what the blue ones are for as there is nothing on the chassis that is c'snked for an 82* 8-32 screw. If you try and use them for the steering blocks they will stick out and could break the chassis at the c'snk. The 4-40 flatheads fit fine.

Wierd>>> I have the blue ones in my steering blocks per the instructions...they fit flush and were the correct angle.. Maybe something changed on the newer kits>>>Mine was an early kit from the first batch..

I had to use the yellow ones. I really didn't realize there was a difference until this kit? I went by color only...? I guess you learn something new with every kit.

I ran the car for the first time tonight. It was very fast straight out of the box. I am using the offset t-plate with the centered pod. The car seemed very irratic. It seemed the car was different every lap. Is this because of the t-plate.

T-Shirt man, what side springs were you running? Try Steve's setup from page 4 of this thread, it should get you close. I tried the same spring setup as my HD and car was nervous till I lightened up on the sides.

My 2nd CW will be here monday,YEAH!!!

I was at CW this week helping pack kits. All parts and kits are available at this time.

phil - silver springs that came with the kit. I am using Steve's set up. The car was very, very fast, just unpredictable. I am sure that I will work the bugs out eventually.

hey ...i just wanted to update the setup we posted earlier...

here is what i'm using(and what i'll use to run stock at the snowbirds...)

hint...i was having this setup last friday...to
OUTRUN my twinbros at our local track(145ft raceline)!!!!

Wheelbase: 10" (middle front and short back)
Front width: LF 2nd hole from center and the RF 3rd hole from center(middle)
Front springs: LF progressive green and RF constant red
Front springs droop (race ready): LF approx. 0.010" and RF none
Caster: LF +1 and RF =2.5
Camber: LF +1.0 and RF -1.50
A-arms: LF 2nd hole from top and RF 3rd hole from top
Rear width: 202mm (with only 0.020" on the RR...running the axle from CW kit)
Rear steer: 0.020''(using the method described earlier...on page 17-18)
T-plate: Fiberglass offset
Pod: Centered
Side shocks mount: 2nd hole from top
Side shocks oil: 30wt
Side shocks springs: associated silver on both sides
Center shock oil: #2 piston + 50wt
Center shock mount: 3rd hole from top
Center shock spring: Silva silver
Center shock spring droop: Approx. 0.100"
Chassis stagger (RF front chassis height - LF front chassis height): 0.030"
Chassis rake (LR of batt tray - LF of batt tray): 0.010"
Battery: 3-6 slots from the rear (1 slot empty in the front, 2 in the rear)

Hope this helps.

**for the snowbird race...

i might go with less camber gain on RF...by moving the upper a-arm 1 position(to the 2nd from top..)this will give me less roll in front....to compensate the high traction surface after seeing 700 cars run on the carpet!!...preventing traction roll...but this chassis gives you so MUCH left weight...that it shouldn't be a big problem...

also...i might run stiffer side springs...since as the week goes...more and more traction will be laid down...so going to stiffer side springs (opaque both side...or even gold RR...WOLFE spings that is..) to limit the weight transfer

remember...the more traction the carpet or surface gives you...more left weight you'll need...you could play by moving your electronics...or lead if car is light....for maximum left weight...go with offset pod..**

Eric, thanks for all the info. Phil Marabella were both running the setup you posted on page 4/5 and the car was a little to free from the middle off and wound up going to stiffer side springs, that helped quite a bit. I am still trying to get more forward bite from the middle off, do you have any suggestions? What tire combination are you using? Any tire stagger? Oh yea these cars are awesome yesterday CW cars were 1st and 2nd at Kranzel's unfortunately I was 2nd.

Eric and I use silver side springs on low-medium bite tracks.

On medium-high bite tracks I had the best success using a Wolfe Opaque on the left side and a Wolfe Gold on the right side. Phil M. told me he ran an AE Gold on the left side and an AE Red on the right side ... that is pretty close to what I've been using on the high bite track.

As far as tires (BSR)... are you allowed wintergreen stuff?

If so... for high bite surface I go with...

LF: Green (Paragon 1-3min.)
RF: Gray-Silver (TQ mod 1-3 min.)
LR: White (Paragon 1-3 min.)
RR: White-Gray (inside half Paragon 1-3 min. and outside half TQ mod 1-3 min.)

I leave the traction compound for approx. 15 minutes (soak time) the first time out on the tires and then only 1-3 minutes for the next runs. I don't clean the tires between runs.

i'm running 0.03'' front...and 0.02'' rear stagger

I am not sure about running the offset Tplate on a hi-bite track. seems like the car pushes too much on exit. when i raced in bloomington last weekend, the track had a ton of bite. i gained at least a lap by switching back to the centered tplate. the car instantly freed up from center-off...just something to think about at the birds.

I've been running the car with the "offset t-plate/centered pod" combo on high bite flat tracks ... never was it too tight middle-off!

Re: Birds ... The last thing I'll do to my car is go back to the centered t-plate, it has been freakin' fast on all flat track conditions I've raced at since October.

Thanks Steve, Yea Phil and I both wound up with same spring combo. No paragon at this track only TQ mod. Do you think offset t-plate and pod would give more forward bite coming off the turns. Thanks for the info.

I doubt offset pod and offset t-plate would solve it. I'd rather go with a softer LR tire. 2 weeks ago I visited a new track in Massena NY where they don't allow Paragon (with wintergreen one). Here's the setup I ran ...

LF: Green (TQ Mod 1-3min.) - green progressive spring
RF: Gray (TQ mod 1-3 min.) - red constant spring
LR: **Yellow (TQ Mod 1-3 min.) - wolfe opaque spring
RR: Green (TQ mod 1-3 min.) - wolfe gold spring
Center shock: 50wt - #2 piston - Silva silver

**BSR yellow ... they've just released this new softer foam ...

My car was really good with this tire/spring setup, new track record by a 1.5 lap.

Thanks for the help steve. Is the BSR tellow softer than a white? Haven't heard yellow in a long long time.

Hey Mr. Slowman,

I'll give you my "A" Main winning setups on the way home from Snowbirds. BTW, Do you mind taking my first Place trophies home in the car with you? I don't think they will fit in the overhead compartment on the plane. LMAO!!!

What did you hire a driver and mechanic, and borrow a car.

Not yet, but is it possible for me to borrow a motor and some batteries??? I'll call you in the morning.

Thanks for the help steve. Is the BSR tellow softer than a white? Haven't heard yellow in a long long time.

Yes they are slightly ... like 28-30 ... the foam is "dark-gray" ... if you talk to John at BSR he'll tell you the whole story.

Steve
Team BSR

To clear up some confusion, the new yellow is not the same type as the ones we used years ago. Different type of foam and not super soft like in the past. I tested Steve’s tire set up in stock last week, using the new yellow on the LR works very well on low to medium bite tracks. :thumbsup:

Sonny B
Team BSR

Sonny the L4 I bought used has BSR on it and the backs are what I thought were golds(because of what someonetold me) but now that I look at it they maybe yellows is the yellow yellow and the gold a definate gold color?? Make any sense ???

I doubt you have yellow on your used car ... this "new" yellow foam has just been released by John at BSR.

Steve.

Thanks again Steve, I'll talk to them.

Hey Racin steve thanks for the help with my AGGRESSOR.
I tied your track record with the car at R/C world in massena at 90 5:00.53
I could'nt believe I got the exact same time.
But now the track record is 91 laps. I think I might try a little bit harder tires,the tire wear in massena is terrible.
Thanks for the help. PS. I need some TQs let me know when I can get some whats your Email.

Good run!

Tire wear is really terrible on this track ... try going to a green LR and a White/Gray RR ... I'm sure the track will like these now that it's getting faster.

Re: e-mail ... just use the e-mail address provided in my profile.

Steve.

I finally received my car (thanks Todd!) and I must say this was the easiest car I've ever built. Since this is only the 2nd car I've ever built thats quite a feat :) !. Everything went together smoothly and the directions and pictures were outstanding. I even went so far to use the offset t-plate and centered pod. Just one question though, does anyone put washers under the lower suspension arms to lower the car?

Yes, try using the .062 aluminum ones (associated I think).
