I tend to run a "little" more droop than a lot of people do and my set up on the 03 is very soft. I like the 03 to roll or heel over in the corners cause it seems to carry more corner speed that way. The 05 is still a work in progress, but the super soft set ups make the car a little inconsistent. I do like the 05 a little stiffer. This is for the Tamiya track and obviously may be different where you race.
Thanks Granpa. I appreciate you taking the time to measure.
