WHICH BLUE SPRINGS ON THE REAR? ALSO IS 1 CAMBER LINK (ON THE FRONT) ALL THE WAY IN OR THE SHORTEST? PLEASE TRY KINGPIN ON THE FRONT TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. JUST USE THE LONGEST BALL STUD WE MAKE, IT GOES RIGHT IN.

Can you explain going from the 2B to 3B pistons (this is on the RB5)? My assumption is that the 3B has smaller holes but obviously there are 3 of them - so the piston will have more dampening (with the same oil), but it should be able to respond faster in rythm sections. Guessing though.... thanks

Well I had my first hit out with the SP yesterday and it was awesome... much more stable then the standard ZX5 and this thing actually steers...

Ronnie the question I have is I feel that the car needs a little more mid corner steering, around hairpins and when you accelerating out of a corner it tends to push slightly...I am running the standard SP set up.. I was thinking one rate harder rear sway bar... or maybe rising the rear outside roll centre by 1mm on the hub....or adding weight to the rear chassis... what do you recommend??

Ronnie -- Have you been running the new 3600 Lipo in your 2wd? If so, how much weight are you running in the car because of the lighter battery? Thanks RG.

dfurutani: the one means all the way in..making it a long camber link.

GMSchmidt:sounds right. i just started with the 3 hole pistons i hve not been able to test the 2 hole.

mwiley: running the front caster blocks back.

memyselfandI: try a shorter front camber link that helped me at rumble..also make sure your hubs are all the way forward in the rear...

Gitsum: thanks it was a good time.

Matt Trimmings: i have not ran the lipos in 2wd yet...
