Congrats on making podium!

Thank you all for the kind words and support.

The first run was a success!. Had to knock some rust and cobwebs down but overall took home 3rd place. I had to swap rear tires as the stock tires didn't have enough grip. Apparently my old carpet track memory was intact as I went for some pink compound due to the track surface. It was a blast and my kids loved it.

Sounds like you and the kids had a great day!

We did. They got some goodies from the track for being there. They were super excited and happy

Is your Car the RTR version or the Kit version. We down here in texas have a heck of a time getting the rear end to stand planted in our soil. Its like driving on glass. Tried all kinds of setups and tire combinations. Me and about 3-4 other guys running kit forms of the SR10m, have been struggling with these. All of us can dial in a Custom works Late model or Sprint and make it run at the top of the pack, but can't get these to handle for anything.

Good job ! if you have. I think I am about to switch back to my B6.4 for my Street stock and ditch my SR10m

Mine is the rtr sr10m. I put custom works springs in it and added some weight to the left front bumper, left side chassis stiffener, beside the gear cover, and directly behind the drivetrain case. For springs it's a yellow cw on left front, grey cw on right front and left rear, and deep red cw on right rear. What compound of tires are you running? I ran jconcept twin peaks in pink compound on hard packed clay and did well with slight pushing.

Have you tried the jconceptd swiper tire? It looks like it would be good on a loamy track. The track I run on is sealed clay.

no i haven't, we only have 1 hobby shop down here in the valley, and they are traxxass fan boys club. so getting anything local other than trashx is difficult unless i order it online. Which I may go ahead and order those and another set i was looking at trying as well, i can't remember the name of them off the top of my head right now though.

I see. I can say that they are currently cheaper to order directly from j concepts than to order off Amazon as I have looked recently.
