Is this correct? OR am I better having long for low traction?

Also moving the hubs from middle to forward position, what would that do?

A shorter link will make the rear end stiffer with less camber gain so it will square up faster, which is another term for turn better. Going too long will make the car too loose as it will dump over too much.

Going hubs forward will give you less rotation in a corner but more forward bite.

Tried it tonight, way better! Was able to bring steering up to 80%, and it was pretty dialed. I think at our other track this setup would be amazing with 100% steering..

Driver errors only. Car was hooked up.

Default Kit= carbon composite or plastic components

It may have been asked or well known by others but does the kit come with carbon composite or plastic parts? Thanks.

Kyosho sell a 69 tooth spur that can be swapped with their mod spur. Use that and a pinion in the 29-34 tooth range I would say.

The car has so little I was going to unscrewing the eyelets a little bit more. Maybe on a very fast carpet track?

Yes I like to run a thin limiter in all my shocks to keep a small amount of oil under the piston at full extension preventing the piston from sticking. I use the ones from the rb5 small bore shocks I think, they are white about 0.5 thick and have a small outer diameter (about 6mm).

Overal I have been increasing droop on my car of late with the longer ball ends, long front and medium rear, previously was medium and short. Plus the extra droop from the arm mod.

Interesting, does it stick for you? I'm curious where the piston sits at full plunge. Adding internal limiters would use more shock.
