Start out with the middle hole and the 11 insert.
Personally I ended up with the servosaver all the way forward and the 12 insert.

Hello all,

Where can I find a starting setup for the new reverse-clutch??

Meaning:
- Spring tension?
- Bell-clearence?
- Gap?

spring tension .5 mm
Bell clearence .7 mm
Gap .1 mm

This works excellent with super hard spring

The RSX One10 servos will do fine, I used them in my C801 as well.

Also drilled two additional holes just in front of the radio tray supports, these will be used to mount weight. Right now it looks like the car will weigh around 2350g so I needed some extra spots to mount the weight.

Wondering if anyone actually felt a difference using the rear flex system. Any feedback appreciated.

I have tried the car with the rear flex system and without the rear flex system but with the top deck screws loose. I couldn't tell a difference. I imagine its to keep the top deck from lifting if the screws happen to back out, but I'm not sure.
