That setup should be pretty good, stand the rear shocks up to hole 5 and see how you go, and 2k oil in the diff. Also remove the front motor mount screw and replace it with a grub screw - you'll have to use loctite or glue to hold it in place. That will let the chassis flex more on power, and it'll also give a bit more steering.
Edit - by reverse I meant screw from top down instead

Hi Craig,
when using the Raceberry chassis, would you also replace one motor mount screw with a grub screw? If so, which one (or both)? There's one in the top deck and one in the chassis.
ATM I tend to replace the screw in the top deck. To me it feels like the car as a whole flexes more evenly like this, also the car seems less prone to tweaking now.

The 417 is great, the v5 is also nice. The Raceberry is absolutely not needed for 17.5 (it works for some ofthe team drivers in 4.5 mod though).

I'm in the middle of a rebuild and I'm trying to figure out the best place to mount my new Mylaps transponder. Until now I've only had the older PT and just mounted it on top of the servo. Does anyone actually use the mount that comes in the kit? I thought about using it but I wasn't very happy with how far out the transponder sits off the servo.

I mount my on the carbon fiber piece that supports the bumper using double sided tape.
