Default Setup for New Black CRC Carpet

I am running my D07 in 17.5 blinky and want to know what would be a good "starting" setup for the new CRC black carpet?

Thanks,

Jon

I'd check on Petit RC site for a setup on high traction carpet and fine tune from there. You probably want to change out to the Gold or the new red suspension parts though.

Oddly enough I found Ryan makers basic asphalt setup worked extremely well on carpet.

Just curious, but what is the general consensus on the center mounted steering system as to performance and durability w/o having to read thru all 50 pages?

I removed the floating steering system from all of my cars, but only to reduce weight and complexity. However, i never did have any issues with the floating steering. With the steering posts mounted to the chassis; i had to check the tightness of the screws periodically since they would sometimes loosen, even with blue loctite.

You get more steering and a more direct feeling, when You change to chassis mounts.

Default Front belt replacements

I was wondering what other belts would fit this car for front and rear? I have been told there are other cars that use the same ones but I can't for the life of me remember which ones they are, I know there are replacements available from VBC directly but I was wondering if there is a low friction option for belts.

Any help is appreciated.

I noticed this thread is fairly dated up to a few post ago. Looking at a used on for sale. Are these just outdated? Considering a new Ghost 18. Is a Do7 still fairly competitive? Or Should I should get a new Ghost18? I am just getting back into on-road and not much time running at the on road at that.

Hate to resurrect an old thread but does anyone know if the vbcracing.com site is still active and up to date for parts? Looking for a couple parts for the old car to keep it going as long as I can..

From my understanding VBC is kind of in flux right now. Working on getting out of China and setting up operations somewhere else that is stable.
