    Possibly ………maybe………probably not 😆
    You’ll be the first to know and the first to get an assembled kit Bob – even before me.
    It’s going to hurt that I ordered an assembled kit for myself so some guys are going to be hitting the track before me.

    Be a shame to scratch the chassis – it’s certainly a work of art.

    There was nothing on my calendar saying “pick on Bob day”
    Hey Vazzo – if you ever beat Bob I figure you will have a right to razz him but you’ve got a long way to go. 😆 😆

    Hey Heavy,
    I’ve got the car built but i just can’t get the servo it fit…. 😯 I’d had to pull the servo mounts of the xray, and then i can’t get the bloody thing centered 👿 I’m sure it’s something really simple that i’m missing but would you be able to lend a hand tomorrow?

    I’ll be at Logan Johnathon to give you a hand with that when you get there.
    Are you using the standard mounts or the optional method – I haven’t seen one yet but looks the same as the Mi3.5.

    Finally stopped raining and finally got the car out on the track for its debut club race!
    Broke my track record by a lap, beat my best lap time by 0.2 seconds, every race under 0.20 consistency
    The car has so much more Mechanical grip and is consistent to drive from the start to the end.
    Quick tips for setting it up,
    Highly recommend the graphite arms, it comes with medium flex arms which are good if you still have the occasional crash because they don’t break as easily. But they feel a bit inconsistent.
    On the previous Schuey cars you would usually set the car up so its stiff at the front and soft at the rear (springs, sway bars and oil) never the same. Well this new car just Loves being the same front to rear, I keep on looking at the car thinking “that can’t be right” but.. strangely enough it is..
    Kit Setup is the best place to start, give the white springs a miss and go straight to green springs or HPI Pink

    Chuck on the 4 degree FLEX castor blocks, they are effective on high speed corners and make no difference on the slower corners but are worth the purchase.

    Have fun with the car!
