ok sorry for the delay. When i got home from work yesterday i had some family over and completely forgot to post the set-up sorry guys. but here you go.

w/spec tires

front:
camber: -.5 deg
droop: 1mm
ride hieght: 5.5mm
toe: 0
castor: middle
1.8mm flex plates stiff position
shurlube #4 in front dampner tube
2mm spacer between the axles and the knuckles to widen the front end
servo laid down with tall ball studs on knuckles

center:
ride hieght: 5.5mm
used the silva shock from the copperhead 12
white spring crc.
35wt ae oil
stock shock position
stock flex plates in long position
2,000 wt oil in dampner tubes
battery down the center with esc and reciever towards the front of the pack. Idea was to have the wieght towards the front to calm down the car during wieght transfer in a corner. probably going back to mounting the battery across with elec. behind the pack.

rear:
ride hieght: 5.5mm
pod droop: 2mm for the bumps
zero pod sag
max track width

hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I will try to match as close as possible. I'm sure your esc settings were set for the conditions ??? I'll probably put the battery in the standard transverse location.
