My standard setup. I run it everywhere with only minor changes (Ie. Orange rear springs, Camber, Shock Oil, etc). I also have been testing the TLR Split Pistons, (4 holes are 1.2 and 4 are 1.3). I have found the TLR 1.3 8 Holes to be the best piston so far.
Something I tested last weekend was running the TLR 1.3 8 Hole up front with the Splits in the rear with 40/30. They gave the rear that added bit of pack to keep it from squatting soo much under acceleration. I'll be out this weekend testing more. If you are looking for a good shock setup, Pick up a set of the 8 hole 1.3's.

Iv made the changes that y'all recommended to me on my 812 and it calmed the car down a ton . I'm running 5-5-2 with 37.5 front oil 35 rear with around half rebound and white spring suspension feel good in the car as far as jumping landing and cornering but it seems like its very easy to roll it over if not careful . Over a bump or maybe a sharp corner is this from to stiff of suspension ? Possibly the tires ? Roll center need to be moved closer to cg ? I was running on a blue groove high traction indoor track with bar codes maybe it was a traction bite causing the roll not sure

hello! I have two questions.
-What is the difference between these brake discs?

-What is the difference between Arm Steering Block Set (Type 1) (Type 2) (Type 3), (Type 4)?

For the first question the difference is just what they are made out of. Though the hot bodies ones work pretty well! As for the second question I believe they may change toe or the amount of steering you can achieve. It seems that everyone just uses the stock block though.

the higher the number the more ackreman you'll have, the lower the number the less ackreman. more ackerman makes the car easier to drive while less ackerman makes it more agressive. generally for outdoor nitro tracks our drivers have stuck with the #4 plates which is what comes with the kit. at the ROAR electric nats at WCRC however they needed more steering (Tessmann & Robbers used #3; Vik used #2). so for all the guys who've made electric conversions of the D812 i think these would be useful. for my personal electric conversion i use #3. the #2 is a bit too agressive for me but i could see it being useful if the layout has a lot of 180's. as for the #1 plate... it's kinda scary to drive!
