I just bought the PSM tower as well , Pretty sweet. I took 2 limiters out though to help with the droop because of the size of the tower.

I thought of the same thing but I measured my car against someone elses with the stock tower and theres not a measurable difference so I left my limiters the same.

Mine was free. While I was in Afghanistan, I met a guy who's related to the lead engineer at psm. They sent me 5 for free, was very greatful and appreciative for that.

Anyone have a good suggestion for a nice turnbuckle wrench? I bought this one, and it sucks. Doesn't fit the turnbuckles (too small), and the damn thing is like half the size of my pinky.

Or shorten your wires and turn your battery around to where the leads connect to the rear of the motor.

I don't think this is possible because I run a full size pack.

I have some vp-pro's (same as the huddy's) & the AE one linked above, I have used lunsford & a couple of others. I hate all of them. I currently use small craftsman wrenches :/. What I would really like to find is something like the losi wrench, but longer, larger diameter, & knurled rather than flat sided. Single sided would be fine, but double sided would be better. If anyone knows who makes one like that, Please let me know.

I got a little micro 1/8" wrench from McMaster-Carr

Works pretty good.

LOL, omfg. Its a turnbuckle wrench....... I think we need a powered one....I have been using the lunsford wrench that comes with my turnbuckles for 18 years...

LOL I use the stock plastic one that comes with the car. I have the Losi and use it on my other cars but don't like it as the 3.5mm is down inside the 5mm. It's ok in some locations but not for the rear camber links. I should get something else...great time for another Amain order...the last one hasn't even arrived yet. :lol:

Hey guys! Need some setup help. I'm new to the site but I've been lurking for a while, I've read most of the thread. So I'm currently running my b4.2 at SDRC, first time there was yesterday. Current setup is:
Front: Bar Codes, Green Springs, 32.5 AE oil, 3x1.4 pistons, -1 camber, no weight
Rear: Bar Codes, Green Springs, 30 AE oil, 3x1.4 pistons, shaved brace/C Hub, -1 camber, 10 grams in each rear pocket

Currently got a 10.5 in it but will be running a 17.5. So the car is sliding/spinning out on power around corners, its got plenty of steering. Overall it's not bad, driveable but I would like some more rear side traction. Forward bite is good, can clear the jumps smoothly. Thinking of changing the front to 35 weight or lowering the rear oil to 27.5. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

17.5 Depending on track size but i run 72/32 on a track thats has 100+ ft straight and that's with timing at 35

17.5 Running on a small track 69/34 is a good starting point
