Our manager at the hobby shop I worked growing up went to a lot of the races down in Cali and said he couldn't believe how sloppy everyone's cars were at the big races.

Hah, I had a sloppy truck back in the day that drove pretty good, I tightened it up so everything was just perfect and it drove like crap after.

Getting there. Looks like you went with different towers than you originally planned. What are they and why the change ?
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

They are same manufacturer but these are for big bore shocks instead. I have new 13mm associated shocks coming in the mail.

So for anyone running a car similar to this with big bore shocks are you running them on the front or backside of the rear tower?
