Cool I had traction issues @ MIR last friday

I couldn't keep any tires on the ground!





Crazy part is I did it twice in a row trying to pedal it.

only video I could find

I think we found a little more power out of the F1R

Wheelie bars are for sissies

Chop the throttle Shaun, chop it!

Hope you can get everything fixed and back out for Door Warz. I think she has an .80 in her like she sits

Well the suspension is working. I have found on killer tracks like MIR, SGMP etc I have to move alot of weight to the nose. Give me a call if need anything Shawn.

Generally something always gets tweaked or twisted. All depends on how hard the hit is when it hits the ground and what K member you have (stock or otherwise). Some SYA bars are always a good thing, looks like the car has them, how are they doing??

I have had the pleasure of being a guy who has filmed a few 4th gens going on the bumper so its definitly a sight to behold. Just hate to see anyone have go through the cost of fixing it. *Cough* Kerminator *Cough*

Does the car have travel limiters?

Yes it does have limiters but I think it need a half inch or less travel now. I forget how much I had but it was definitely too much. This isn't my first time doing a wheel stand unfortunately. The parachute mount is what really saved me. If I didn't bend that I would have been on the roof more than likely.

Looks like I put you in a bad spot Shawn.
Maybe if I put you out of the groove it would have just spun. LOL ! (maybe)

Those gears made a big difference.
Tighten the front up and turn 2 step down a little.

My tip of the day for all drivers.... When the track disappears... pedal it.

She's makin some steam now thats for sure.
Come get this T-top.
