Good news and bad news from today's outing.
After getting my first run in with the 17.5, I messed up and plugged the battery in backwards. Poof goes the HobbyWing. No back up in the box so race day over for 17.5 and no set up work. 😤😤😤
USGT was an entirely different story. Since the 17.5 car was kaput, I was able to better focus my efforts on the one car. The car started out with a tight rear and very pushy front. After some RC testing and shock swapping I found a setup that allowed the front to carve pretty good and the rear just follow in-step. I didn't place with the car, but that was on me and a few trips to Walmart trying to cut the corners a little close. The rear is still just a smidge squirmy under power coming off a fast 90 deg turn. I think I might go a couple spots out on upper rear shock mount and a slightly softer spring next time out to start. But if your track has good traction, you might not have to change a thing. I'm going to put this set up on the 17.5 to start next time I get to the track.
Just noticed I forgot to put in what the rear mounts are. They are the same as before. XB / D
