Default Suspension Tuning guide

Im not a newb but I want to make a detailed list of geometry changes and their effects on the car that im planning to make the list ordered by effective severity of the change and exectly what it effects. kind of like an x/y 1-10 list so when im having trouble I can make changes and know exactly what they are effecting. I know what most things do but it will help a lot to make a list if I have a written guide or video! thanks guys!

If you have an android phone get Setup Workbench in the app store. Explains everything and has a guide of what your car is doing, like loose on power, and a list of things to change in the recommended order.

You can get all the guides you want. you will find many of them contradict each other. Reason is you can't be super general and super specific all at once. So many things do the opposite of what you might expect based upon other settings on the car.

Best thing you can do is take notes on how changes affect your car when changed from a base setup point.

don't get me wrong, guides are great for getting the theory down, and can be very helpful, but you will have to do specific vehicle testing to get solid reliable tuning info.

There is an app called rc cheat sheets, by team associated, cost like 2.99 but is totaly worth it, has an explanation for every(and I mean every)thing you can tune on the car!
