Thanks Guys!



Honestly, I'm very surprised with how well the Agent has come together in my short time tuning it. I figured I would have some bugs to work out once I got into a big comp, but it performed well beyond my expectations. The only problems I had throughout the day came from lack of drive time with the new truck.

I think I put the truck on its lid on every course just because I'm not quite used to driving it at comp speed yet

Anyway, no major upgrades to report just yet. At PCC I ran with a little less knuckle weight than I had been running in testing, and this put the truck at 3lbs, 14oz rtr. With the amount of traction that place had, I probably could have gone even lighter but I was a little nervous about testing that at a big comp.

Great I think 5mm is the sweet spot for the XR

Just out of interest were you running the mrc or mini silvers in the rear?

Under load they just didn't hold the hex.
