One of the biggest adjustments is the wheelbase. Try adjusting the arms so more weight is sitting up front versus the rear. In others words push the fronts and rear arms all the way back. Adjust forward slightly if it dumbs down the car to much. Raising the rear roll center was going the wrong direction. You want the lower the roll center to gain grip.

Mikes setup may be a good place to start but he's running all that xRay stuff. So his setup parameters may not work with the TOP stock parts.


I personally love this car with NO third party options. Not sure why people are putting $150 worth of parts on a car that is good the way it is.

My only issues are the Aluminum quality on the V2 steering blocks, they bend way to easy, and the gear diff leaking so bad.
Yeah I realized afterwords I went the wrong way on the rear link.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give it a shot.
