Where are you at now for setup? Springs/oil/camber links.
Front 1.4x3 32.5 grey flat arms standard links, +1mm inside.

Rear 1.6 30 blue rear motor rams -2 inside +2 on hub

But like I said I've been changing roll centers to find something that works, but the above setup is what I generally have been running.

Mod setup vs stock setup is not even close from what I've found

Dieseled primes, but have switched to akas but don't have a lot of time on them yet. Schelle slipper almost locked out.

Sounds like the associated version of the YZ2.

primes have more grip than smoothies for sure. Which is what I am currently running. You dont find the car too soft with those springs? not tippy? Are you running 4wd fronts?

Look below.

I know on the rear I ran the schelle camber block and ran the 2nd inner hole, no washers on it. You had to stiffen the car up a TON to get it to not traction roll and be too touchy.

What toe and anti squat? I would run 3x1, and then negative 5 on the rear hubs.

Here is Hump's last 3 gear setup. Note the usage of the schelle rear camber mount.

Pretty much. But it also moves the motor forward a ways. Which helps balance the car out when its on carpet or turf.

No, 2wd fronts. I am running those springs because the front tires had so much grip, with the front stiffer than the rear it would snap roll.

3.5 rear toe is too much I would think, would lose a lot of forward bite. What's the advantage of the schelle camber block vs the flipable associated?

try 4wd front, really smooths out the car.

So more limiters is what you're saying?

unless it has changed in the last couple weeks....almost everyone at srs runs 4wd fronts. Just something to try. Personally, I run stiffer springs than you. But softer is fine and gains steering, just too edgy for me.

It's not edgy if you make other changes to support it. I'm gonna probably run Thursday with how the car is now then spend Friday and Saturday testing some ideas.
