I guess we could all agree that from the Factory the setup is way off.. which is just a let down from AE.. hmm I do have A way I determine which springs are best for each end of the car its half black majic the other half makes sense based off of vehicle weight.. I actually make a turnkbuckle setup that locks the front end in a arms level configuration.. then I put the rear shocks on with no oil or orings but do use the plastic spacer.. I try to find a Spring for the rear that puts the rears arms level with the battery and motor installed.. with out adding additional preload in other words i try to find a spring that naturally puts the suspension in the needed position.. once that is found I follow up the same on the front.. sounds weird I know.. but has always seemed to work for me.. I adjust dampning based on weight bias if the rear is 50% heavier than the front than I iwll use 50% more pack in the rear.. so the front and rear react to loads the same amount and also have same loading and unloading characteristics left to right front to rear.. this is not all mine.. I'm not going to come on here and claim to be some self professed RC god just sharing what Ive learned and noticed over the years..

I took my initial set-up from the set-up sheets from the pros on the AE website for my track type. From there I make small changes to improve areas that I need like rear traction or reducing push/understeer. I did have stability issues through high speed turns with soft suspension as mention. I move the hubs to the rear extending the wheelbase and this was reduced. I have a ball diff so managing the tension on that can effect both steering and rear traction through corners. In fact this may be my current oversteer issue, too tight on the ball diff.

This is one aspect of RC Racing that I love. Tweeking the set-up to find what works for me is almost as much fun as racing.

So I get the spur on but there is no way the pinion will fit. Is there a different motor plate or something? Even if it was a 24T pinion, there is nowhere near enough room for the 24/87 combo.
