Wow! Now that was a reply.
But you know what, you answered my somewhat vague question perfectly. That was exactly the reply I was looking for. You gave enough detailed iformation that it made perfect sense.
You guys really have dissected the micros on making them run perfectly and have put a lot of thought into the setups of your micros/m18s. Where as myself, fire in a big block motor (or brushless), 2/3a 6 cells, make sure it goes straight and hope for the best. I really haven't gotten too worked up over tuning my setup for the optimal settings. I found that running hard foams and medium rears was a setup (with my chassis that is) worked the best for me. I found that soft foams on carpet was slower and sloppy feeling.
I will eventually tear down my micro (again) and rebuild and clean it up before the racing season starts up again in the fall.
Thanks again for that great reply!
