Serpent Spyder SRX-2 Mid Motor Buggy Thread

I run the single turnbuckle style and the car is much more consistent but I am not running on grip levels as high as you guys are. I can see how it would act wierd with high grip. This past saturday I had my best night out with the car and came sooooooo close to 15 laps which is unheard of on this track and really i had it but bobbled on the last jump of the last lap
I had more fun and felt more comfortable driving this car than my wheeler!

Just got my MM and got the electronics in and started my indoor carpet setup based on this one: http://www.petitrc.com/setup/serpent...s_MIO20141109/
I have it all setup the same but I have my rear shock towers bottomed out and can only get down to 22mm ride height. Why is that? Only difference is I put blue springs in the rear instead of green (because that's all I had) but will that make a 5mm difference? Are the green springs shorter? I'm going to stop and pick up some grey AE springs that were mentioned earlier in this thread for carpet but I'm not sure that will lower it down to the 17mm this calls for.
Also, does anyone have a link to a good stock 17.5 blinky MM carpet setup sheet? I cannot seem to find one. Thanks!
