Jason, that is very kind; thank you. It was indeed a wonderful weekend at Freddie's Arcor Worlds oval race this weekend. Jamie and I both wish that you and the entire LE team and friends could have made this trip. This track is nothing short of FANTASTIC. You guys (and gals) MUST visit Ravenna, Ohio to see what Freddie has done. I don't think that there is any other place in the mid-west quite like it. If ya like outdoor oval racing in the summer, THIS is the place. Hope all is going well for ya in Hoosierland.

looked like Hanson had that field COVERED in both 13.5 and 10.5 in a BIG WAY...

As told to me - his car was the ONLY car all weekend that looked like it GAINED speed in the corners...

I hope he shares some setup info - now that most of the racing at Freddies will be cap tires for a while...I'm really curious to see the difference in roll out on this HUGE MONSTER between the 2 B/L motors.

Pat The scoop is. We have been working on a new solid chassis since the Snowbirds, I am wanting to have it finished and ready for the start of the carpet season. We have tested a few different configurations and ideas in an effort to be able to improve on what we have now. My number one goal is to be able to provide the racers with the best product that I can and help them into the winners circle.

People asked about my setup from Freddies outdoor Oval. It is the same setup I run indoors with the exception of tires and more ride heigth.

Lightning chassis with the old style rear top and bottom plates.
--RF: Red progressive spring/ 4 degrees castor / -1 degree camber / Purple
--LF: Red Std spring / 2 degrees castor / +1 camber / Magenta
--LR: Silver spring / 50 weight / Magenta
--RR silver spring / 50 weight / Magenta

Other notes: I ran the Windtunnel front end springs in this car. Center shock was an HPI with a #2 piston and 70 weight oil. I always run the ORC Super Soft T-bar. The car had stock front castor blocks. Just enough preload in the front so there is just a touch of sag in the left. The car ran a centered t-bar with the pod offset to the felt. Left rear wheel in as far as I could get it and the wide right side hub with no axle spacing. 1/2 degree rear steer. I this in 4300 brushless. The only difference for 13.5 was a double Purple RF tire.
T-HD body.
