I have changed some things to this setup here https://andrefossto.wordpress.com/20...ly-good-setup/
Added 1,5 degrees toe-front
-1,5 front camber
removed 0,5 shim on all suspension brackets. Having 3mm instead of 3,5mm under front/rear bracket.
2mm on inside rear link arm, 4mm outside rear hub linkarm.
LTC-R Body, i tried Mazdaspeed 6 and it had slower laptimes, but not much, track is very tight. I think Dodge Dart might be the best. I will test more.
Also i went from 33pinion to 27/112 and that made the car much easier to drive! I didnt think gearing could do so much change.
One thing i tried was shimming more under inside link arms to give the car more roll. But this made the car sluggish and much slower compaired to earlier laptimes.
But the setup i posted in my blog plus the changes i wrote here makes the car able to push much harder on throttle and goes really good. But downside is that i think standard chassies wont go much faster then this, thats what i think. Should go faster on outdoor asphalt or bigger carpet tracks with medium traction.

Split brackets are standard in the kit right?
Just put them on. Good for low / mid grip track

I'm running a 3.0 in USGT and was wondering if anyone has a good set up for me to start with?
I run an old 411 Sport in VTA and tried my VTA set up but it is way too loose.
It's run on indoor carpet on a medium to large track with decent grip.
Any baseline setup help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What's a good starting FDR for USGT? Medium size track.

Thanks Andy for sharing this information. As a nitro convert can you tell me what you mean by 'front bracket mod is in place?'
