Shorter camber link in the rear is more camber gain rite? I allways thought a longer link planted the rear more.

I found a shorter link, the car rotates better, and once it squares up has better forward bite. But in some conditions can seem looser.

The outcome for my Fioroni pistons is that they don't have any 16mm ones available so I will just keep these and get a refund.

I would rather the correct pistons but I suspected the 16mm would not be available, they are out of stock everywhere.

His car had shorter camber links in the rear, Kyosho orange rear springs, 32.5 rear shock oil, and 5-5-3 in the diffs. I can't see how that calmed it down but there you go.

Is there a common setup most people are using?

Kevin I am running a completely diffrtrnt setup over gregs car but its still fast. The orange springs to me made the car push a ton. Thats where the 5k front and shorter rear link come I believe.

Did you run the Vented Shock caps or the NON-Vented shock caps?

With the Fioroni 16mm pistons?

Thank you RED!!

I'm thinking about joining the ebuggy lite crowd. I'm curious if anybody has done weight measurements of the arm/shaft/hub yet to compare weight differences from doing the sct + adapters vs actual eb48.2 lightened parts with the normal arms. I ask because I have a spare eb48 right now, but not a spare truck to add the kit too.

Hi Dont Hack Me,

This is the most beautiful body I have ever seen on a EB48 !
It's really nice.
Will show your body on the French forum, in my opinion this will be the choice of many EB48 drivers next season.
Bye !
