Re: Midway shootout Oct.9th
that turned my stomach a bit, I take it that's the 300M shaft one?
That's nuts. Does your suspension need addressing? I can't imagine there is a lot left to mess with on your setup.
Any others? i know nate was there.

Re: Midway shootout Oct.9th
Pic of what I found when I took the exhaust off the car! When I removed the exhaust section the gear that interfaces the tail shaft fell on the ground. The housing is all busted up too. Called shep today, sounds like they don't have any more upgraded TXcases available. I hope he will run another batch. It lasted 20+ 1.5-1.6 60 foot launches. I was not pushing it hard compared to others that use it.
