It’s going to take me a little bit of time to get used to it. So for now I’m actually working on taming the front end down until I get comfortable with the car. Then I’ll dial it back in.

Changes I made so far:
Raised the inner rear camber link 1mm
Moved the ackerman to the back hole
Added the brass skid plate to the front
Lowered ride height from 24mm to 22mm

One other thing that I noticed is that this car seems to be LESS sensitive to drag brake. It could just be in my head, but I actually dialed in more drag brake (close to 20%) than my B5M (closer to 15%) and it felt like I had less. I didn’t have less overall braking, just drag brakes.

I think I’m going to run the car the next couple weeks in 17.5 just to get used to the different handling characteristics. Plus if I run it in 17.5 and Mod with the same car, I’ll double my track time.

Car weighed a tad over 1600 grams before I added the brass in the front. Keep in mind I did nothing to make it lighter and my ESC is on the large side.
