Snowbirds

What can I say. It was a heck of a week
and a lot of hard work. After starting practice/qualifying off with
stupid mistakes on my part regarding electronics and car setup, I was
happy to finish 2nd behind a blazing fast Donny Lia. Donny has been
basically unstoppable in 12th scale for the past year and it will
continually be tough to keep up with him. With more work, I think we
can catch him.

As for setup, here's what I ran...

Front

-Parma Magentas (cut to 1.62"
and sidewall glued)

-10 caster blocks w/ 6 caster

-Associated .020 springs with about .020 spring sag when the car
sat at race weight (#3 sure lube on kingpins)

-Lower arms were standard associated arms with .060 milled off
bottom... no ride height spacers needed (these were arms I got
from an oval racer at the race since I was tired of the IRS arms
splitting)

• -1.5 camber and about .020 total toe out

-servo angled

-Parma Yellows (cut to 1.72"
and bead glued)

-Rear width at 172mm

-Battery all the way back

-.065 Black side plates mounted in long position with tweak screws
lightly touching chassis

-#3 sure lube in dampener tubes

-Hot Bodies center shock with 50wt oil and associated copper
spring

-Shock mount all the way back in car (shortest position) 2mm
spacers under shock mount and medium ball stud on shock mount.

-1mm pod droop
