Just saw this popup in my RC news feed a bit ago.

They laid down the rear shocks at the top instead of bottom like I tried. Also from this setup, white AE springs all around seem to be a popular combo. Some even going stiffer up front (AE gray). Seems everyone is going to 1.6 rear pistons right away. Inner rear ballstud washers seem to be popular at 0 or 1mm. 35 front oil seems to be popular as well, and 30 out back. Seems most everyone on any med to high bite tracks having success is running the exact same front end setup, although 3-hole 1.4mm pistons up front seem to be around.

My car needed some ballast added since it was 1489 when I raced a regional series here in Socal and they follow ROAR rules.It ended up at 1506.

ok cool and how do you get it 3 mm trailing and what weight are the kyosho springs and did you go softer or harder?

Yes sir and LOVING EVERY MOMMENT OF IT!! took second last night in 17.5 car was hooked up and hit my gearing for my motor on the dot!

Clear, is the intention with the different towers that ride height and drop will stay unchanged if you switch over from gull arm + tower to straight arm + tower… anyone can confirm?

I run 1.5x2's all the way around with 27.5/25wt oils it feels pretty good

not even close to the same type of adjustment.

moving the lower mount on the arm changes the leverage ratio

moving the top mount on the tower changes how progressive/linear the damping is

3mm is the insert with the hole centered. Here is what I use for a spring reference chart.

What are some ways to take twitchy feel away without loosing steering. Turns in real hard and then pushes wide. Running shorty with 28 grams up by the servo. Losi 55 pistons. Stock springs. 27.5/32.5. No ball stud washers on the rear/steering rack. 2mm on front tower. Battery in front. Haven't touched much else.

Are you under dampened? This would cause the car to pitch a lot and turn in hard, then when you apply throttle on exit it would shift the weight back and make you push. Those 55 pistons with those oils, seem like they would make the car really soft in the corners. Have you tried going back to the 2 hole 1.6's?

Never said it was the same... in fact my statement reflects they laid down the shocks differently. Thanks for explaining the tuning differences

what springs are you running with this set up?
