I slow down before the corner, but only very briefly with a quick tap of the brakes, and then I'm back on the throttle hard. ;)

man just hearing the words quick tap of the brakes then hard on the throttle makes me want to go racing! but Mj I have to agree with you on the x patterns those things are great. thier were sevearl different compounds available I belive I ran what was known as the BT40 compound. I'm not even sure hpi still makes that tire but I will find out.

not so sure of that either, i ahve some nice tamiya slicks that i like a bit better, but i only use those on the track. tamiya makes some very nice slicks in all kinds of compounds. and they are a bit bigger than your jaco rubber, or other brands of racing slicks.

Yeah that was a nice hit and run on the cone. I do that a lot just for laughs whenever I put my cones out. Don't know why but it always puts a grin on my face lol.

yup a little loose looking but once they break in they should be golden. get some red labled gojo hand cleaner and smear it on thier overnight. this will make them a little slimy at first but will be stuck as soon as the grease wears off.

I have seen a few different setup guides online. Can't remember where exactly, but a google search should net you thousands of results.

You'll probably be able to run the same gearing you're running now, and might even want to go up a tooth or 2.

You know, little things like locking wheel hexes make life so much easier. Keep on improving.
