this will adjust how weight is transferred front/rear and how the car twists around the center post. small changes have big benefits here. you're adjustments should be in 0.1/0.2mm differences. try the adjustments yourself -- or just stick to a 0.2mm gap and call it a day.
totally moving the dt04 collars away from the am49 will produce a ill handling, pushing car.

c18 is a brace, not a top deck. again, this adjust how the car flexes. i haven't tired it, but if it like any of the braces we tried against the C02-1, it will definitely make you loose rear bite under power.

can anyone point me to some sort of chart or give me a reference point for the dampener and spring settings for the EVO #6 shocks that will help me get my head around what settings on this car are similar to for example and xray with 350cst oil and 2.5 springs? or even yokomo shocks with 500 cst and pink or blue springs... I am just trying to get a reference point from something I understand.
thanks so much!

I don't know if it's still relevant, but here's what Oleg said about 2 years ago.
Suspension stiffness in the cars of Ronald Volker and Jilles Groskamp are as follows according to my calculations:
Front suspension 87-96 gF/ mm
Rear suspension 109-116 gF/ mm
Front suspension 87-96 gF/ mm
Rear suspension 109-116 gF/ mm
As far as dampening, I think it's gonna be a feel thing, on the board or on the track if you're trying to get a close match.

yah, i agree i will have to adjust to get the right feel... i guess i just wanted some sort of reference point that i do understand (compared to yokomo or xray) as opposed to just copying a set up sheet i find online...
thanks for the help!

Great day of racing yesterday. Ran at a local Trophy race and was able to TQ but due to a migrane i had to leave before the main. The car was awesome. I ran my FFG with a top deck and the car could do no wrong. I also had Hot lap of the day. I have to give big props to Mike Larcher Yesterday was his first day on a used ride 700L and was able to finish 4 in the show after a bump up from the B.
Anyone have tips on a lrp flow to get stronger brakes with a 17.5?

i find the LRP to have fantastic brakes -- and after struggling at Critters in a trophy race in Dec/Jan I made the switch to LRP before Snowbirds...

It seems now that the current TC became 20-30% actually softer from those days that I made these calculations.

My preferred settings for 17.5 are 0,4,0,0, and 3 for the LiPo cutoff. Modes 5 and 6 are disabled. Endpoint on the transmitter is set to 86% on an M11x.

Higher bite surfaces... On my other TCs, one way I could do that would be to increase the dampening rate (go from 350 to 450wt), but I clearly wouldn't be required to change the spring rate.
As I read the section in the manual that explains the shock settings, the "A" adjustment is used to adjust the dampening AND the spring rate simultaneously, however the "B" adjustment is used to just adjust the spring rate. So if I didn't want to adjust the spring rate, but instead just increase the dampening, would I make the "A" value larger and the "B" value smaller to reach my desired setting?
Further, using another hypothetical situation... Let's say I wanted to get a little less steering/more rear bite mid corner... One way I would get that with my normal TC would be to lay the front shocks in a hole or stand the rear shocks up a hole... But that adjustment isn't an option with this car... What might I do to have a similar affect with this car given matching front and rear suspension geometry?

This car handles more like a foam sedan than any other I've driven, its very direct and I hit less stuff...

It seems odd that you're looking for more brakes - I'm not running any drag brake with my LRP Flow, and I find myself reducing the endpoints each week because the brakes are too strong.
My preferred settings for 17.5 are 0,4,0,0, and 3 for the LiPo cutoff. Modes 5 and 6 are disabled. Endpoint on the transmitter is set to 86% on an M11x.

Laying a shock down is like going to a slightly softer spring and damping rate. You can achieve this by changing the damping value only and leaving the spring as is. However this isn't a direct translation, I find the damping change is greater than the spring change so you may have to tweak both to get the desired result.

I felt lost in setting up the car after converting to FFG...before with traverse mount motor, with the AM19 on 4 corners mounting the links at the outside holes and using the recommended setup the car ran quite good on my track which is outdoor aspault with good grip and wide bends. However, once converted to ffg, again following the recommened setup at first, the car became so understeer at mid corner that i had to let it roll all the way through the corner. Then I began to change the A and B position but now i found myself even more lost. Any help appreciated
