Engine – RB XBR
Tires – Sweep Racing
Radio/Servos – Futaba
Remarks – Renaud is running the standard XB9 with a number of changes for this track but which will most likely find their way into the 2013 spec car. Firstly is the new taller rear shock tower and in turn longer shock absorbers which is achieved through longer shafts and shock bodies. Other new parts include the C-Hub carrier on the front which offers two lower mounting positions to help prevent the driveshaft from touching when using a lot of droop, while on both the front and rear the Frenchman is using extra weights on the hubs to help keep the wheels planted on this rough track. Reno is also running carbon plates on the bottom of the front wishbone to help increase stiffness. Finally he is running rear uprights from the truggy on his buggy, liking the feel this configuration gives on this track.
