Not domination as far as the number of XB8s in the A, but I guess first is the only place that matters. I was in the C main, won the C main, bumped to the B and finished 3rd just short of another bump to the A.

way to go Danny! good drive man

sounds like you're getting to grips with your XB8

Thanks showtime!! I really thought I had a shot at qualifying for the B so I wasn't to happy with being in the C. But I made one change before the B that made a big difference and locked the car in for me. I went from 0 degrees of in-board toe to 1 degree and the car was locked. I had a small push in two of the turns and this change helped a lot.

I also ran the RMV one (really two) piece engine mount this weekend that I got from Ashfordhobby.com. Worked really well and had no issues with it. I haven't had a chance to inspect the chassis yet to see if it reduced the clutch bell hitting the chassis.

I believe Ralph Walters runs a Mugen.

Chris doesn't get on this forum much I don't think. But you can pm him on tech talk his name is needforspeed.

I just noticed something that i missed, the rear camber link; middle hole on the hub and inside lower hole on the tower,,,2 deg camber....sorry about that.

wow. This 5-5-5 setup must be something magical. Everyone seems to talk about it and I must say that even though I loved my buggy before (5-5-1), something happened that just locked my rear end down with that change.
