Try 35wt 3x1.4 & 32.5wt with 1.6flat and youll find a similar feel.

Unless in low grip I dont like 3x1.4 in the rear
So stay with my current setup and just go up in oil?

The CE comes with MM rear arms. At least mine did. If the kit included the RM rear arms there would have been a mention of this in the included supplement manual. They should have been included in the kit though, because it's shown in the recommended set-up sheet. It also comes with a Factory Lite decal sheet? Weird...

Its pretty neutral. Feels a little edgy on corner exit. Pushes like a 2wd buggy on power. Just having a hard time getting the power down as fast as others.

Try 3mm trail with standard ackerman.

Use long rear link, stock hubs 2hole inserts using the outer hole. If youre running aftermarket hubs run anextra 0.5mm under the stud.

Measuring between the shoulders of ball cups should be approx 27mm iirc

So the reason people are switching the pistons is because of the way the 3 gear works, it levels out the chassis while driving so it actually makes the rear end ride higher then with a 4 gear which is why people are wanting 3 hole in tha back for more traction and 2 hole in the front to tame down the steering.

I'm going to try for a lower ride height setup for super high grip office carpet this week. Has anybody found a good roll center setup for ride heights around 16 mm? I assume that The 1/2 hole longer at the rear hub would be the right direction and I'm thinking about going up to the +2 position on the inside rear ball stud and adding 3mm limiters in the shocks.
I am running 18 mm ride height with stock shock limiters and I have been struggling with traction roll at the end of the straight. The Yokomo's with low ride height turn right inside of me and carry more corner speed.
