BTW: Remember my spin-outs?? The car improved with short wheel base and more front toe out, but I read somewhere that less anti-squat not only improves acceleration through bumps, it also makes steering more agressive when you hit the trigger exiting curves (*). Maybe that was part of the problem??

Next day I'll try 2º anti-squat, instead of just1º, and see if spin-out improves further, without doing too bad on the bumps.

I'll let you guys know how it goes. Maybe someday we'll figure out all the setups!! hehehehe



(*) conversely: more anti-squat makes the car soak up bumps better decelerating and ahs a bit less low speed steering.

What does running the A blocks do vs running the B blocks?

Yo pink.......as per the manual, A blocks give mild steering, the B blocks give quicker steering response.

For the shock I use 'Losi' silicon shock fluid and for the diffs I use 'AXE Motor Rossi' diff oil, which is 100% pure silicon oil. Both oil brands mix very well when blending to help get the desired viscosity you may be chasing. Everyone I know uses the link below for help on mixing silicon fluids to get the desired viscosity.

According to Chad Bradley the A Block will handle the bumps and jumps better than the B. But you sacrifice a little steering with the A.
