Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins.

To congrats myself in to a new home I painted a new body for my Machine!

wanted to try compare this Spd 6 with a old LTC-R I been running, I found my car have little too much steering on end of high speed corners with the LTC-R, I'll find out if that is a body or my set ups with a Lucas upper deck or something else

It's been a long time since I painted myself with more than 1 color (spray bomb baby!) came out okay, if you look at em at 5ft distance.

Lucas won it again! with the Type-R

The 2009 French Cup was held in Bordeaux, France won by Lucas urbain ! with the Type-R! Congrats Lucas!

Lucas urbain's Run at 2009 ETC

My guesses is his tire blew up at the end, some scary moments
Follow up: Lucas told me he's steering got locked on that corner.

How to adjust sway bars

Lucar's car

This is mine

I try to take a picture like redrc's french driver's car but just can't do it! haha

from this rear view I want to point out its a important to have a sway bar holder (plastic piece) evenly screwed down, I think that s why Losi used cap head screw instead of button head, like every where else on this car (there is few spot losi used hex head for reasons, I bielive)

with that in mind I used wide aluminium washer instead of losi narrow washer to more evenly spread the screw's force.

also want to mention that sway bar should be 90 deg angled against the sway bars linkgae when it s on RH.

after installed the sway bars I did little tweaking by adjusting linkage length, this is how I done it

1. remove shocks, wheels, wheel nuts AND the SWAYBAR from the linkage.
2. make sure the sway bar is moving freely, that sway bar is free falling with it's own weight.
3. attached back the sway bars with linkages
4. stick a droop gauge under a hub carrier until opposite end start lifting, measure that
5. do same on other side to see compare the numbers
6. by adjusting length of linkage make that "Lifting point" even on both sides

Thats how I do it, which side to turn to make lift early? I never remeber that you will find out soon
