You got the wrong tires for the track...but just look for the nearest burnout contest!

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Just came in from a test spin, 21 LBS with controller maxed out. Stupid question time. I think the controller just has a spring with a ball in one end inside. How do I shim the spring? :icon_redface:

This is what you are dealing with  http://www.gusmahon.org/html/boostcontrol.htm

take it apart and put a washer on the end of the spring to increase the tension when assembled. Remember that boost has to flow thru it so make sure the shim has a hole in the middle (washer)
Steve glad you posted this since my old computer died.  I had most stuff of importance in a backup but lost all my Favorites from over the years. Time to start again & this will be Number 1
