For mod, I ran 4 mm instead of 3 on the rear ball stud, I ran a silver ball stud front, and I ran different tires.

Carbon madness- I ran Parma Coral tires in 13.5 and sauced about 1/3 to half of the front tires. For clubracing and when the bite is lower, I would run Magenta which are just a bit stiffer. When you run a softer tires, it makes the car easier to drive and not as twitchy but on low bite magenta are better.

The car was very easy to drive and it finishes the corner very good !

Hope you guys can try it out soon and give feedback.


2 weeks after Cleveland I went to Fastcats for the Holliday challenge and I made a few changes to that setup !!! I went inside on front arm and ran 80 oil instead of 50 and leaned the shock 1 hole so it is something you guys can try but it make the car steer a little more and might be too much.

Keven, were the arm mounts in the A or B position?
And also what were your droop settings?

Thanks
