Only thing that looked different (to me) of the photo's of RM's car vs that setup sheet is the shorty lipo. What are you seeing ?

What exactly does the kick up plate do on the front bulkhead? How much difference is the 25 verses the 30 degree? Also which is better a short camber arm or a long one. Trying to dial the buggy in and stop the heavy push it has on throttle turns. some things I get stuck on. Thanks guys

What is your current setup? For some quick pointers check out the back of the manual regarding those adjustments. For me, I added another limiter to the front shocks, that seemed to help keep the front down better.

Check the setup guide on this page, it will explain every adjustment.

Soooo... yeah. If you get this car and are running it on medium+ bite, just do yourself a favor and get the B5 front flat arms and the B5-RM shock tower. Car is so much better IMO. Yesterday was a huge step forward with the car for me at OCRC. No longer felt edgy, and the hooking issue I had on 180's is gone. I can push the car now much more how I want to. Obviously will keep tweaking and playing with tuning, but I am much happier at this point. Front end is close to kit setup still (minus the arms), but did some more tweaking out back. That setup sheet from Cactus reflects the rear end changes that seem to be needed to stabilize the car further, for now.

You definitely cannot mix and match the arms & towers. I originally didn't have the B5-RM tower in my possesion, but installed the flat front arms. Set the ride height, dropped it a few times. As Sean states, the shocks don't travel back upward properly in that scenario. The front end will remain waaaaaaay too low. Thankfully OCRC had the front B5-RM tower I needed, and it's a big difference on the car IMO.

Shorty lipo, 3mm under rear link (low roll center) 3 trailing with 1mm front and rear spacing for front caster block spacing.

I would not worry.Only thing i have had problems with are the front bearings, all else seems stout but i also dont pile drive walls.
