Wind tunnel, really or seriously? It takes a pretty big funding for a wind tunnel.

Not really. It doesn't require you do your testing at Nasa. Iv seen wind tunnel's rates at around $500 an hour. I imagine you could get enough data to find a body that works best with the car (and your goal), in a day of testing. Call it $4k.

For the most aggressive steering, run 25 in the suspension hanger and 0 in the inserts. The car has a TON of steering out of the box.. it's the most aggressive car iv ever driven. Iv been doing nothing but setup tweak to try and calm the car down. I love it

Any preference for pack style? I can go with any right now though have her wired for saddles. The cg location will be the same for shorty as it is for the saddles which is more towards the rear than the full pack I think.

Do you mean the car's F/R weight balance? I think you would be correct. I haven't tried a shorty yet, been running a full normal 2s. With the normal 2s pack, I don't seem to be lacking any forward traction though.

I have run an Orion WTS pack in it with 22gram weight in the middle pocket on pack. Was very good. Now running Short lipo as far forward as possible due to running Ko Propo RSX One10 servo. Great balance with this setup. Servo is AWESOME for this car. Have yet to run saddles, but would be interesting to try. Anyone got a pack I can borrow to test

A lot of guys in So Cal have been trying the 4 in front and seem to really like it. I will try mine on Wednesday and file a report.

Me too. Rsone10 up front. But Shorty backwards as we are always hunting for grip on my track.

Might try saddles next week for fun

Servo is so nice, so smooth, and for the size has mass torque, and with enhanced mode on my Eurus with the FHSS module, fast as h**l....
