i found this tip as i dont have a height gauge and this was the next best thing!!!

a.Do you a for racing, shift the location of the shocker tower?

b. remove spacers

c. change springs

cheers for help........
A Mount the shocks to the more outward position this will stiffen the suspension, stock hypers are very under sprung and soft you could also use heavier weight oil in the shocks 35 - 40 weight heavier springs would be ideal but there not available (not 100% sure)

B Remove or refit the spacers to achieve the height of 40 cents (5mm) any higher and it will traction roll on foam tyres always push the car down and release it before checking ride height.

C i dont think springs are available so your only option is to make what you got work properly i rekon go 40 weight oil and if it still rolls stiffen up the sway bars moving them in 1mm at time start from the rear first. Too much on the front and you will lose your steering

Set your camber at about 2-3 degrees negative at the rear and 1-2 degrees neg at the front set your front wheels to toe out 1 degree
If you dont have any measuring tools set a straight edge up against the wheel and assume 1 degree = 1mm it will get you close

Drive it for a while and check your tyre wear if it is scrubbing the inside reduce camber a bit idealy you want your tyre to wear out evenly giving you the biggest contact patch on the track

Good luck let me know how you get on

You certanly take the grip offered at HH for granted hey at LH if your off line your off the track its that simple

Hi. Im moving down from Tville in Nth QLD to Adelaide and am hoping to live near the little Hampton track. How many nitro 1/10 run? , who can i contact to join the club down there and get some info and finally, I own the new RRR Evo WC edition and was wondering if anyone else down there have one and what is a good setup for the track. The setup i got on my RRR is for our tight and low grip track up here.

Cheers
Ray

Hey kosta

Not set up in the world will stop you car doing a 180 when you hit your brakes
with a one way , you have to change your driving style nothing to to do
with grip levels.

What a one way does is give you better off power turning.
