I learned a lot Saturday. The car was awesome at the end. I did a lot of testing and tryied a lot of adjustments. The Production car is really strong. I liked some of the changed they made, it made it stronger and more consistant.

The starting setup is a good starting point, the car will push a little with it. But for some tracks this is good.

Below is what I ended up with. The main chalenge was to get the car to carve turns but still remain easy to drive fast. So the below setup does that but could be too much steering depending on track conditions.


Front:

Academy 1 hole pistons 27.5 wt losi white springs
shocks mounted inside hole in arm and middle in tower
camber 3 - c with 3 #4 washers
one washer under the ball stud on the steering rack
MLP wide
1/2oz weight added in front of the steering rack
27.5 degree caster block but with shims behind the rear mounting srews to make it 30 degrees (make sure to use flexable washers that will bend to the keyed bulkhead.

Rear

Drilled 55, 55, 56 pistons with 25wt. or kit 2-hole pistons with 30wt white springs (the drilled pistons gave the car a little more pack, other than that felt the same)
shock mounted middle in arm and #2 in tower
camber 2 - b with one #4 washer under the bulkhead ballstud
MLP wide
I was running 1.5 degree anti-squat but recommend 2
