Steering and handling with this buggy is so much better with the brass front suspension hanger! But, wish I drove mod. 40 grams is too much to push around in stock. Btw - if anyone wants to trade an aluminum one lmk

Yeah, I like it a lot. Just not as much steering as my rb6.6 but much easier to drive

Mid corner to exit even on low speed steering. Notable changes from kit above are 0 slot ackerman plates. Running 1.6 1.7 pistons with 32.5 weight all around. 2mm limiters front shocks. 3 degrees toe, 3 degrees anti squat (pills are middle middle front, and inner lower rear). Long bushings on the top of front spindle... found this to have sharper steering. 25 degree kickup with 2.5 caster

I did. My track is super high grip, but they didn't pack the last layout well so it was super bumpy. Raising the hinge pins caused me to skip around a lot in the sweeper with all the golf ball type divits

I haven't tried shortening the front links yet... Hmm. Tried the rear without the front a long time ago. Liked the turn in but buggy seemed to have strange flow to the whole range of the turn, and also lost a little traction. albeit this was with the dirt edition. I love them short on the front of another buggy. Felt a lot more locked in. Regarding toe, I felt 3 was the minimum with the bumps recently on my track... thx for the suggestion! I almost sold the buggy before adding the zero slot ackerman arms which gave me just enough to keep, given the buggy was so easy to drive. Lap times are fine in qualifying heats, but in races there are are few tight corners where i can get taken on the inside line. Regarding the front links, is it preblematic to have short links on front but longer links on the rear? thx sir

It was confirmed to me that the xb2 aluminum rear hubs allow for an additional 2mm of shimming, the same as the xb4 hub. I would use the XB2 hubs so it isn't necessary to widen the track with to keep the drivehaft ends from bottoming out in the diff outdrives...
