Pedro51 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 It runs, better with the body on - because of the extra weight maybe. It can also have a really impressive amount of body lean. Time to start the real tuning. I will have to take the timing computer out once of get my long list of chores done. A pain how real life gets in the way of the important things.

munter Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Some windows and one interior made....it looks like a weight saving of about 8 grams. I am going to mod the interior tray as the stock piece steps down at the rear and with all you "low riders" this could be an issue. How many pieces of each are required?

Pedro51 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 John if you ended up with a spare set of windows - just in case mind.... Car runs nice, smooth, easy to drive, probably not fast enough but we will see. I will true the rears tomorrow, I had trouble deciding what to use so a little testing was required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow_rusty Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks guys, but in reality, it's nothing new. The RC boys have been doing it for years... What it does is reduce the deformation of the rubber, particularly when using soft rubber. Oh, and it's 'tuneable' too... Soft open cell foam is more like a true air ride, whilst harder more closed cell is more like a true solid. Also, I believe it's thunder slot that will be releasing something similar for use on an actual NSR air rim.
