Most are using the 2050 I had the 1900 going to thw 2050 with a 16 tooth, just get a set of front arms as a safety precaution nothing really breaks on this buggy!

.This buggy is as close to perfect as I've ever had any of my cars in over 20 years of racing. That is really saying something

I am currently at 100mm front, and 118mm rear. I am also running 25mm front and 26mm rear ride height. The current layout has small 10th scale size jumps, and is fast and flowing with many faster turns.

Just put in an order for a new EB48, figure the V4 chasis made such a difference in my RC8.2e that i had to try it, that with the less weight, design and having the urge to try something new.
So far i have aluminum servo horn needed part# HBS67168 Ordered
A Tekin RX8 and T8 2050kv, same as my RC8.2e
Packs will be 3700mah 4s
Servo Hitec 7955tg
Anything else thats a must get please let me know, i would appreciate it.
Also a starting set up would be great, especially suspension springs etc... I will put in the Blue CSI pistons so shock oil i will figure out. All I see on the site are sdrc set ups and i run on bigger outdoor tracks. Bigger jumps, rougher in spots, faster straights and turns etc. Still clay hard pack but usually with dust on top till it grooves up. Wet down often with good traction then looser as it dries up as usual. Thunder Ally, Revelations etc.
Thank you all for your help, i appreciate it.

I ran 7-5-3k front to rear for the diffs. 10x1.2 pistons with 35f, 32.5r oils. Yellow front springs, and orange rear. All geometry settings as per Danny's setup on the website except for the shortest wheelbase, and one step longer for the rear camber link.. 2.3r ,.2.4f sway bars. Most importantly, and what made the buggy drive harder out of bumpy corners, was removing the rear chassis brace! I normally don't like to do this, but it makes a huge difference in the bumpy corner exit stability.

Already been there, done that. It helped, but I'm looking for just a little bit less entry steering. I mean a little teeny weeny bit. I am going to try reducing the caster by one degree next time out.

It's steering exponential. As you add expo it will slow down the steering response accordingly. Say your car feels really responsive to the point when steering some would call it twitchy. Then adding a little expo will take the initial turn of the wheel and turn the wheels less/slower until you surpass the expo setting at which point your steering is back to normal throw/speed. It really helps on corner entry or sharp turns where it's easy to oversteer your car.
