I'm thinking blocks on the rear as it may be kinder on the belt and slipper as they dont have as much bite.
i thought you might give everyone a wooping with the lazer

As si-co said indoor only for that car.

Neil, what spur and pinion size do you use in the cougar?

Curiously though staggers up front and minispikes rear is perfect on my RC10, but then a full truck width set of staggers is a pretty beastly tyre.
Hi, can I just ask what the criteria are for vintage, new to buggy racing this year but been searching for a car from my youth to run but not sure what the rules are, cheers K

Currently 86/25 on a 9.5t but looking at what your planning on running that might be changing, but I've not looked at what to yet -/- 8.5t.

If that's working Neil stay with it as I think I'm just going to destroy my gearbox with this 7.5t. Also my ballstuds are a bit past it, ging to see if i can find sone new ones before next week. I managed to find my manual and that has all the gearing charts in so sorted it now. Thanks for the reply still Neil.

We don't really have any rules - its about having fun!

In theory anything thats a few years old is OK to run. and as you've noted most people are running modern electrics. Thats more a convenience thing though - a lot of the old stuff wasn't that reliable.

If you are thinking about what it takes to win in this class, it probably isn't the class you should be in......

I have both mk1 and mk2 front arms, I'm going to give them both a try.
