thanks I'll try adding weight to the front. Another question is how is my gearing its 28/75. I'm just wondering if I'm geared to tall or am I undergeared or just right. Drives great with that gearing but I broke a drive shaft before I ran long enought to shoot a temp. So I'm waiting on a new one to come in

Do the Rango slipper pads fit the ae spur? Or do I need to pick up ae pads too?

Edit: Setup sheet PDF is too big. If anyone would like to try it PM me your email.
So today I did some testing on a fresh setup
-1/8" front toe out
-0° front camber
-30° caster
-full inline axle
-3mm bump steer
-Upper camber links level
-25wt oil
-1.2/1.3 pistons
-3.5° rear toe in
-1° rear camber
-Swapped rear hubs so ballstuds face forward
-Rear hub all the way back in arm
-Driveshafts level
-20wt oil
1.2/1.3 pistons
-MM4
-Trinity D3 6.5 +2 marks on timing
-81 JConcepts AE spur/25 pinion
-No ESC timing
-Started the day on kit springs f/r
-Ended with Losi Orange/Losi Grey
-Made custom foam inserts to move the battery around in different places
On a medium bite track that gets dusty once try, I think I have something going here.
-Mid motor the buggy jumps soo much better than rear motor.
-Throttle/brake in the air is more reactive when adjusting flight.
-I can put down the power very well given the motor turn. Mid motor doesn't allow the buggy to wheelie as easy.
-With my current setup, the car hardly bottoms out when jumping, and is very level over a lot of big dips on the track that most cars bottom on.
-The car has a lot of steering. Almost too much, but it will go where you want it.
Things I'd like to change:
-Front/rear end I want more reactive to bumpy parts
-Would like the rear-end shocks to soak-up bumps and whoop sections rather than dancing
-Need slightly more rear-end grip
-Need less weight transfer to the front under drag & voluntary braking
Things I would like to try:
-Heavier oil all around
-Front and/or rear sway bar
-Lower roll resistance rear
-Higher roll resistance front
Marcus, You PM'ed me some settings to start with, and would love some input from you. I have an idea on how to change the four things above with a few adjustments, but need some clarification since I have your pistons.
***Also, I need a readily available gear or ball diff replacement. My current diff feels like it's built with rocks (long story), but has everything to do with me leaving a certain part out during rebuild.
-Auto

thank you. I cant find a 81 available and dont want to dremal an AE one so will pick up an 83 but go try an 24 to start will be alittle quicker but the tracks I'll be running on are somewhat small. I just needed to figure out a starting point so when i order the car i can order in a couple pinions to play with.
