Default Reactive front newskool

Ran this car with 5* reactive and shimmed arm 2 shims front of arm
Ran 1 mm shims on lower arm to make wider
Total front width was 170.4 with 2 shims behind each wheel (scrub )

Ran 15000 Kyosho on kingpins and damper tubes 1.5 mm pod droop
1200 cst in center shock .18 front springs .19 rear. 171.8 rear width...Red center spring
Pink front/green rear glued fronts. On black carpet
Aluminum mcfactory chassis
3.5 motor with turbo and small boost 26/88
Amr body
Car was very comfortable to drive after few scrub in laps no edginess and super durable with shape way parts
My only suggestion is some aluminum screws to get weight down

I'm running a similar setup with less front scrub in 6.5 blinky and works very well also. This setup would be great for 13.5 with the right scrub setting

I have a car I tested rev8 with with dampened xenon front end and new Sokol reactive was actually easier to maneuver Don't be fooled by its old looking appearance it's really dialed and super durable

Thanks bruce ...
