Question about setup on the 3.0e. On a large hard packed covered track (Mike's in Houston) what would be the best setup to run? Stock or the Drake indoor setup on the website? Been a while since I have run 1/8th scale so I'm looking for a somewhat neutral setup to start with. Any other setup tips? Thanks.

I think you will like the 3.0. Tried mine for the first time last Friday at MM and it was nice.

Are there any must have's for upgrades or any suggestions on hop ups to do on the initial build? Thanks

Are you guys upgrading to the aluminum upper steering plate or is there a downside to running it over the plastic one?

We don't run it. Seen some guys running it. Just extra weight to me and I don't feel car needs anymore weight.

Its a little more weight on the front end which is a tuning option. Some have said it makes the steering feel a little more precise on high bite surfaces because of the reduced flex.

Some thing is wrong inside there it should turn doing it that way too. We did have a broken diff cup on the front last spring and it was acting that way. Make sure the metal insert on the cup side isn't coming loose from the plastic.
