What shock oil weight front and rear do you use for the front black springs and the Orange rear springs oh and what piston hole number also ? Im guessing the stock oil shock weight and the stock pistons are not going to work ?
And about the droop i have my shock ends where there is 3 treads showing but i do plan on keeping the droop screws in for higher traction tracks. Do you back the droop screws out all the way with them just flush ?
Full droop for outdoor racing .

I find if i use full droop that i tend to get too much body roll into turns (causing me to traction roll). I put the droop screw on the chassis and 1 full turn in. Helped a lot, however, caused a slight push in the front.

I think your disclaimer 'no hype or false info just facts' is a bit misleading. Mostly because there are no facts in it, and a lot of hype.
I think we all need to realize that all the after market chassis are a level above the stock chassis. Which they should be, since you pay about $100 per.
Im using Ryans setup straight off the losi site. Good setup.

Ok thanks i checked his setups out but there for indoors not outdoors . The tracks here in the Northeast in PA are usually kind of rutty and dry at the tracks ive been to.
Il look at some diffrent team driver setups.

The Chassis DEBATE: OUTCOME
Put all of the names in a hat and pick one! Its helps but its still up to the driver to drive the darn car, NOW DRIVE IT DAMN IT, JUST DRIVE IT! lmao

Its a good base to start off at, you can adjust here and there to tailor to your liking.

The runtime issue really comes down to your throttle finger. I am smooth, But also agressive. With a 6000, I would dump a lap or two after a 10min. main. I use some of the nanotec 6600 without any worries about dumping in a 10min. race.

Does TLR have some of the Fastest drivers money can buy??Those guys could whip most of us with a slash 4x4!!!They have to run that chassis!!!I dont know what any of you do for a living but I am a cnc Machinist and I will not buY machined parts from taiwan if I can get them from USA!!!!!

So I don't understand how he droop screw setting helps prevent traction rolls - help me out what am I missing?

I'm a bit late to chime in, as I'm no longer following this thread every moment, but for battery use in a 5 min main I use about 3300-3400 including a few laps of practice at the start. RX8/Pro4 4600/13t, stock tires on indoor dirt that is almost like clay. I do tend to drift the large sweeper that was after the straight, so that'll raise the battery use compared to those that don't.
I was running 5300mah Gens Ace (which took about 5450) without issue for 10+ minute practices when I was being a little more deliberate about being smooth. I've since gone to the 6600 nanotechs (which are taking about 6700) and not worried about battery use since.

I would have to agree here! BCE all the way!!
On a side note/ reality check what Chassis brand has any actual big race results or championships?!?!? If you guessed BCE you would be correct.... just some food for thought, no hype or false info just facts.
Now if you want to take ur remote control car to a car show and show off the "bling" then the xyz chassis may be for you, if you want results and some killer customer service BCE if for you

I certainly say tweak it to you from there though as everyone drives a bit different and the reality is, this setup is from years of all of us beating on it, lol.

Just to note, I use this as my base setup everywhere. I used this setup outdoors as well at the SC nats in CT last year and this year I will be as well, I use it out in Beaumont at Thunder Alley, etc. It is a good all around place to start from is what most find.

Help me out here because maybe I don't understand everything that a droop screw does - my belief is that the droop screw prevents the arms from traveling down past a certain point. Given that, when your turning and the body rolls one arm goes up and the other arm goes down - more droop would allow the inside tires to stay in contact with the ground. Less droop would pull the inside tires off the ground. This would load up the outside tires and cause traction roll. My understanding is that sway bars limit the extent to which one arm can travel without pulling the opposite arm along with it - so in a turn the arms try to stay level and keep traction between inside and outside even and thus preventing traction rolls.
So I don't understand how he droop screw setting helps prevent traction rolls - help me out what am I missing?

I think I explained that all correctly! Easier to visualize than to put into words.
So what gearing are people running with the tenshock 411 4000kv these days.. large outdoor tracks w/ 80+ degree weather?
Any limiter used on the ESC or just keeping at max? Timing?
