[howerc1]

did you just keep softening up the front shocks?

[savageboy69]

i fought steering in my truck until the a main on sunday lol

[howerc1]

too much traction? did the truck push bad?

[savageboy69]

it was great, but like i said setup has to be spot on, its like touring car with jumps out there lol

[howerc1]

indoor clay is the way to go.

[savageboy69]

no not really, there was just a wait, so you ran, went to the pits , tinkered with setup, then waited to go back out and try it

[howerc1]

was it tought to get practice time friday? looked like lots of people there

[savageboy69]

cooda been both , we slapped it in and ran, didnt have time to temp check or anything

[howerc1]

sucks...too mcuh gearing or too much timing?

[savageboy69]

yup all my rigs

[howerc1]

you runing a tekin esc?

[savageboy69]

turbo, lol i had a 13.5 of justins but we kinda blew it up 240+ degrees

[howerc1]

how did you do?

[savageboy69]

yea, my problem was i kept trying to land it perfect and undershot it, i ran a 17.5 in my b44 for super stock lol

[howerc1]

could you make the crossover jumps in stock

[savageboy69]

they hooked up well, setup was a major issue there though, u had to be spot on

[savageboy69]

yea panther switches

[howerc1]

you had to run spec tires?

[savageboy69]

not as bad as i thought, you could see the tire wear though

[howerc1]

how bad was the tire wear there

[savageboy69]

what i wooodnt give to have a indoor clay track

[howerc1]

watched a little bit of the 2wd buggy main

[savageboy69]

u shooda heard the tires barking in tacoma, it was crazy

[howerc1]

what are the compound codes for jconcepts...i bought green goosebumbs

[JoeCathey]

Spokane was a tire eater! I'll go there next time with barcodes in white or gold to try...

[savageboy69]

ebay, guy needed money, had him end it early, they are selling for over $100 easy

[JoeCathey]

Run ribs at wenatchee for easy to drive steering, but goosebumps all around were faster if you could handle it...

[howerc1]

70 bucks is a good deal...was it on rctech?

[howerc1]

good deal. already have the DD's and already ordered the goosebumps

[savageboy69]

my first 4wd buggy and i loved it, got it for $70 with spares, but my dilema is i just bought a brand new body for my b44

[JoeCathey]

Goosebumps at Wenatchee, DD's at Spokane

[JoeCathey]

XX4 my all time fav. elect. 4wd!

[howerc1]

what did you use in wenatchee and spokane?

[JoeCathey]

indoor clay for sure. I want to try them out at our track early in the year when the clay is tacky

[savageboy69]

ugh i still need to buy justtin a motor too
