Front end:
RIDE HEIGHT: 5mm
ANTI-ROLL BAR: silver
CASTOR: 4º
KICK UP: none
ANTI DIVE: none
TOE: 0º
ROLL CENTER: riser plate only
CAMBER: -1.5º
WHEELBASE: med/long
BELLCRANK: center hole + 3mm shims under ballstud
STEERING KNUCKLE: front hole
LOWER SHOCK LOCATION: outer hole
UPPER SHOCK LOCATION: inner hole
CENTER TRACK ROD LENGTH: stock
INNER CAMBER LINK LOCATION: upper hole
NOTES: no riser plate under bulkheads, standard arm mounts (no arm sweep). No wheel spacer on outside of hex. Hybrid o-rings in shocks.

Front shocks:
OIL: 30 wt.
SPRING: white
PISTON: 3 hole
LENGTH: 61mm
DROOP: 2mm uptravel

Rear end:
RIDE HEIGHT: 5mm
ANTI/PRO SQUAT: none
ANTI ROLL BAR: black
TOE IN: 2º
ROLL CENTER: riser plate + 1mm
CAMBER: -1.5mm
WHEELBASE: med/short
REAR HUB LOCATION: center

REAR SHOCKS:

SPRING: Schumacher white
PISTON: 3 hole
LENGTH: 62.5mm
DROOP: 3mm uptravel

Other:
BODY: Mazda 6
CHASSIS: stock 2mm
TOPDECK: stock 2mm
FRONT DIFF: oneway
ESC: GTB
CELLS: EA IB3800
MOTOR: Novak 5.5 BL
TIRES: RP30GL
NOTES: Works very well for stock and 19t as well, I just got the car stable enough for mod by removing the arm sweep out of the front with the long (#U1989) blocks. This week I will try putting them back on with a 19t motor and see if theyre still faster for 19t or stock. For mod the arm sweep made the car have too much mid and entry steering which made the rear end unstable entering the corner, and then on throttle it had a push from it. Removing the arm sweep smoothed it out, but I think it may still be faster. If the track is really open then I would probably still be running it in mod, but my carpet track is small. If you want the car even more stable for some reason the Stratus MKIII and Parma Type M make it much more stable with less rotation but more entry steering.
Small world....this is the exact set up that I came up with minus the shock oil. I have 40wt up front and 30wt in the rear. Everything else is dead on. Great minds think alike.
