Unfortunately, the tires Top mediums are not the best for keeping the rear, as they tend to lose grip suddenly, however this is the best setup I found for these tires (Weather temp. 30 ° C, track small, medium grip)

The springs are HPI, Silver 16.9, 15.3 blue.
50 WT oil is denser than 500 cps, attaching a conversion table

That's something you can't get rid of entirely on any touring car. Especially when the wheels aren't even loaded, it will be much worse when testing on the bench. DCJs even still do it to a certain extent, its just a lot less.

Hope that helps!

Hi Korey, whats your opinion ? Would you use foam also.
Thanks.

I've been running without the foam in most places. if the track is really tight I like the feel of rebound . Seems more reactive to me.

Agno, our setups are very similar

I run without Spacer in the Rear Sway Bar, because I love having a lot of agility in the chicane.

Have a little Understeer in fast corners, What can I do?

I did try losi lcd and didn't have any chatter at all but don't like running the knuckles to use them!! And don't like not being able to rebuild the hot dcj's.

thanks for your input guys... mine just chatters so much that is frustrating hearing it like chewing metals. i've narrowed it down to the CVDs and will have to use DCJ to make it go away.

i'm using aluminum C-hubs and alum knuckles, do you think using the original plastic parts would help?

so DCJs aren't rebuildable? do they last decently?

The DCJs are not rebuildable, but are very, very strong
