Gonna be pretty powerful with a 70c Trakpower Lipo I just hope I can control it.
I've got a couple of those trakpower lipos and they are legit, better than most 2s batteries I've tried. So good I opened up the case on a 2s to look inside and there are 4 cells inside a 2s. They work really well.

So I guess after a good break I'm back into it!
Reedy motor, viper vtx10r, airtornics servo and mt4. And protek saddles.
This was my most successful class to race in, hope I can pick it back up!
Mine is not a ft but has a lot of the hop up parts that I will sell to you cheap. I just want it gone now.

Why do you guys keep thinking I would go stiffer than yellow springs front and rear? I never mentioned it. Blue is softer right. I normally run at four seasons and the clay there almost always require a softer setup for maximum traction and handling.

Hey cherry is that Bremerton race on saturday? If so I might drag the wife down to watch for a while. I haven't raced in a long time but I do build full blown race trucks lol just to play with. When I feel like I'm driving awesome then Gould and Mike Brown get out there and make me look silly. Sad face!

probably because of this as in regards to yellow rears:

May not be for everyone. I loved how it woke up the car versus feeling lazy on the track and dropping into ruts.

Silver sharpie does make the hazard wheels look sick. I came up with that a while ago.

Just so I am understanding right, and please don't take offense, but you do know the front and rear yellow springs are different rates, right?

Yep, I started out stock yellow fronts on the front and stock yellow rears on the rear just like the instructions say with the included springs Then I tried blue fronts on the front and blue rears on the rear. Now im going to try yellow fronts on the front and blue fronts on the rear. Im not confused at all it just seemed like everyone was acting like I was going to go heavier than what the FT kit comes with. I never mentioned going heavier than stock yellows at any point. Just to clairify the FT kit does come with springs, I figure I'd try those and use them a base line setup but they seemed to heavy after lightening my truck as much as possible. Im also running the pro 4 4000kv so it's as light as possible, all TiNi balls, Ti shock mounts, and about 30+more FT blue aluminum screws than what comes with the team kit. This thing is very nimble. Thanks Guys.

looks great, is that a Spaztic pressure pack or airbrush ?
I have the pressure pack with the prep spray and black backer and haven't had time to do it yet. Hopefully it comes out looking like that

If you really have gone the light weight route, you may find white or green fronts on the rear a better starting point. I ran blue fronts on the rear in doors, but I use the exotek chassis.
