thats funny.. my wife and I are moving out of our old apartment too and into a new one. *moving suxs* sorry had to say it.

Thanks for the heads up on modding the motor mount, I ll look to be more cautious with the dremeling.

I run my car on too surfaces ....one is very very large row of tennis courts perfect for gathering top speeds and drag lines, the other is an actual LHS RCP foam 40' long road track (this is where I do all my competitive racing....unfortunately only for MINI Z's.) a few days ago was the first I tried my DTM on any surface, I am looking to run it on the courts more often than a track.

I do have a 25' RCP in my basement, but this is used mainly when I want to race in the winter time, rainy days..etc.

I haven't run on any of these surfaces yet...just around the kitchen...because I want to finish the body before I really test drive and open the DTM up to performance runs.

I know your right, the Rx I have a way to high and the CG is going to be unstable....I plan on up grading to the smallest rx I can find. Also, I haven't set any of the electronics cables either to the chassis so it looks very disheveled in the pic I posted.

Thanks for the tips again, and especially supergluing the walls of the tires...that is a great idea. ONE thing that makes the handling of any car bad is the amount of tire track and angle of momentum the tires are at entering a corner or straight away. It really is real racing physics.
