Thanks, I saw those. I thought Associated might have come out with some. I have the 1.5 degree Racers edge hubs but Im not sure if that would be to much rear toe in with this setup.

Last sheet I saw they had a slightly longer wheel base with 1/2* rear toe added on the hubs. Also a full length rear spring, but for the grip of my track, the cut spring stablized the car out a little more.

The total car weight is 53.1 ounces. ROAR minimum is 52 ounces.

There are a few light weight truck set up's floating around, but nothing is nailed down yet as being 'the set-up'.

The standard issue cav set up for the truck is still very good.

I got a lipo/lightweight mod. I used it on my b4 and t4..it helps get more weight on the rear tires. You can get a shorter wheelbase by sanding down the rear arm on the hub side to allow you to put in 3 .30 washers instead of 2for a touch shorter WB.

I got an old setup I ran last year in and outdoors (10.5 indoors & mod/6.5 out) only changing the tires and gearing. I was running the light, 200g orion 3200s. I'm sure it could be a little better but it'll get it loosen'd up for a lightweight pack. ..and I didn't add back tons of lead, just what I needed. I won the local summer points series w/ it. I haven't been running truck this year...by the end of the year the JC tires were out for trucks and the goose bumps were awesome!

Link, then download the T4_WhiteHouse_Setup file.

You can get the Rayspeed hubs from a Yokomo dealer.

It is much easier to get the Racers Edge hubs though.

In theory, they provide more forward bite, and more turn in steering.

Due to this, you are able to run a longer wheel base and keep the stability of the longer car.
