When/where's the next race after this coming weekend?
I don't need any narrow CB's or anything. I modded it to fit a full size 1/8 scale CB.
Any 1/8 scale buggy motor/pipe/clutch will drop right on my revo.
your right I'm due for 17T cb very soon, prolly not before the next DD race though.
I think I can control wheelies with throttle control but after watching the way it's in flight "air manners" are then I'll decide if weight needs to be added anywhere. For all we know it may uncontrolably nose down off jumps. Plus my rear shocks have more preload on them than normal so that will attempt to pop the back wheels up off any jumps. My main reason for the preload in the rear shocks is for better on-power steering, it will play a part in "air manners" also. I'm not going to just add weight before testing the truck on a racetrack.
I'm not sure of any organized races after the 9th at Dave's. Berwyn bash is coming, although no technical racing will take place, we will be draggin' in the grass and parking lot with radar runs taking place.
