setting would depend largely on the track and even then the setting would need slight change throughout the day.However, the change is not as drastic as on-roads.

Also the consistency of the silicone fluid againts temperature.

To add to James's list

4) Tyre

5) Shock, caste, camber angle.

My last setting for HPC track

shock oil 60F / 50R
Diff 5kF / 10kC / 1kR - a little understeer and a little rally style driving to counter.

Even the shock piston got lot';s of setting

Example; 1.2mm two hole,1.3mm two hole,1.1mm 3 hole and...............

Just set your buggy till it didn't bottom up badly after landing of jump.
My setting,hold my car at around 2 feet of ground,then drop.change to ticker oil if it bottom up,but the best way is to test it on the track you play.


Cheers

Didn't know about that yet but will tak notice when i service the shocker again i thought only need to change oil and only ot difference to the oil.Now i need to measure the piston to know what spec it is cause the jump my car currently performing is great.

Thanks for info.

The car was because i used to own a older version which did very great.
The engine was intro by The hobby shop owner and the rb engine was recomended by a fren saying that it's another step after mamba hehehehe.M11 was recomended by an R/c fren in titiwangsa as for the servo of course it's a set from my transmitter hehehehe.Thinking of getting a lighter transmitter though but $$$$$ not permitting so have to wait loh .

Yes,The RB is a great engine!my ex RB engine never let me down(S7 sport,S7w version 1)now,i plan is to get this S7w3!

Btw,do check your engine conrod after 3 gallon of nitro.replace if there is any play at rod end.

I service my engine every gallon of play,clean with motor spray outer and inner.
Replace the air filter if dirty!

Offroad doesn't have to invest..........that much ! It doesn't makes a big difference.

Essential parts: Tires ( you got to have a variety for wet, dry, sandy, etc )

Once you got the basics, already start racing or bashing.

Air filter foams are important, change them regularly. Try to get a outer filter would be ideal as it will filter away, 60% of dirt, keeping the main filter clean.
