Also i noticed one side of the truggy or buggy sits just a shade lower than the other. Should i adjust the shocks so the chassis is even? It seems like one side needs to be several threads higher than the other to compinsate the difference.

I'm going by adam drakes setup sheets and the various setup sheets off the losi website as a reference. I just want a decent baseline to start my tuning on various tracks i plan on visiting over the fall and winter as racing moves indoors in this area. So i figure if i start with the standard setups and deviate from that as nessissary, it'll give me a good baseline to get me headed in the right direction.
if both adjustment nuts are even on the shock bodys and one side is higher then you most likely have a bent hinge pin, also your a arms could be warped.
