wingracer - CAD files could be arranged..... lol...

Kave - My set-up here at the Champs in Mod was similar:

.018" Front Springs
Yellow Kyosho 15k grease on the kingpins
.5mm behind the lower arm (widen the front - no axle shims)
.5 camber
4 degrees castor
40mm Ulti - JH front tires
3.4mm ride height


35wt Losi in HB Shock
AE Blue center spring - top plate has additional .5mm spacer under standard pivot ball

Roll center lowered to only .5mm shim (no 1.5mm cone washer)
.022" Side springs
Green Spooge in the tubes
171.5mm rear width
41mm Ulti - XS rear tires
3.6mm ride height

Protoform AMR-12 body mounted centered in the front wheels
D4 3.5 with timing on the motor @ 20 degrees - 25/94

I'll work on posting pics and set-up sheets here and on my FB ASAP.

The 15k Kyosho was something I always ran on my cars and I switched to it at the race for the first time on the SM car. If you hit a kingpin hard/fast the Green Spooge tends to sheer and not give much "hard bump" dampening. The Kyosho is a little lighter but still gives good dampening in this situation. For bumpier tracks like this, it seemed to help out a bit but in most cases, the Green Spooge works really well.

Any other questions, let me know. I'll try to be more active on here.
