    So what is this "Bounce Back" thing anyway?

    I also learned from another pro the ability to tune rears to an extent on the board. No track here either. after setting your steer... little tweaks of the rear axles all the way around. If there is enough natural bend in the axle that is never truly straight you might be able to work it enough...

    Basx wheels

    You can get a scale for less than $20.00 and has hundredths (.01) measuring in grams. Mine also came with 50g calibration weight. Scales are pretty cheap now (relative of course) and I have seen them for less. I like mine but Actually would prefer .001 but that will be next purchase. This will...

    On Second Thought It’s A Slippery Slope

    Agreed. He deserves the chance to continue with the other AM’s, some of which are seriously fast also, including RRR. He took the top spot, now let’s see if he can stay up there. John, your tier 2 gig makes it possible for more than just one racer to benefit from the sponsorship if I am reading...

    SOMETHING SMELLS

    Keep in mind for those working the race and especially those in charge, there's a ton of work before and after the race. We only see the runs. It's already a loooong day for them. All 3 main leagues run in this fashion and during the race is the much needed hangout time. Even at APR they take a...

    Real simple... its in settings. So if you are looking at PC and have a video playing, look along the bottom row of icons. You will see the cog wheel that is "settings". Click on that and a few options pop in a box. One of them is "Playback Speed". Click that and you can go in 25% increments...

    Don’t forget you can slow the playback down to as slow as 25% speed if you are hopin to watch game film of your cars. I do that a lot of I need to look for something before edited playback videos come out. It’s usually a bit before guys can get those posted.
