Hi,
I'm looking for a little bit of setup help. I'm looking to get more off-power turn-in at corner entry. Car has a little bit of a push that I'm trying to tune out. What changes would you suggest I make to my setup? My current setup is here:

Thanks for the help guys!

A quick look at your setup I'd say try the following:
I would change the front kickup to 11 add front arm sweep, lean the front shocks all the way down drop the center diff down to 5 and reduce the rear anti-squat some maybe go back to 2. Reducing the center diff will reduce on-power steering, laying the front shocks down will give more overall steering. Give the Tekno green spring a try in the front as sometimes that will give you more steering. I know it sounds odd but I've seen it work multiple times.
Those are my thoughts.

Marks thoughts are all good advice, I just wouldn't do it all at once. Baby steps.

If its just a little push I wouldn't go making all those changes at once. I'd start with putting your kickup back to stock (11). If that isn't enough go with the green front spring. If it don't help go back to the pink spring up front and go to moving the shocks. If all else fails don't be afraid to take the front swaybar off

Thanks to all the forum members for posting so many setup sheets. I just built my EB48.2 to the stock setup. It states a camber of 2. I take this to mean a postive camber of 2, meaning the top of the tires will be farther out from the chassis than the bottom of the tires. Is this correct? On all my other buggies the stock camber has always been negative. Thanks.

Start with -1 degree of camber front/rear and go from there.

My experience when trying it produced a different effect. When I moved it forward the buggy felt dead/lazy/slow when turning. When I moved it all the way back it felt like it cut harder into the corner then died off and a little twitchy. The middle for me works the best. Again I always recommend trying things so that people understands how it works for him/her.

He is a forum member who thought them up one night and put it to plastic, not a Tekno part number. Hes on this thread all the time.....but i haven't seen him as of late. Just PM him for a set, that's what i did.
