There are lots of setups out there, but can anyone tell me if there is a really good one?
I don't want to be handicaped in testing the T1 FK

Usually the stock book setup is good for most situations. Small adjustments are only needed from track to track.

Is there some osort of spacer or something i am supposed do to allow 28 mm premounted jaco tires to fit on my car?

Rustler-
Any 28mm Foam will rub on the shock of the XRAY while mounted in the outside hole.
The team guys grind down the arm a bit so the shock will fit inside of the wheel.
I have done it to my car, and their is enough meat around the mounting point to not weaken the arm one bit.

thanxs for the great imput but i need to ask about the front tires. I can't use full turning with the foams so what should i do about that problem. the tires will hit the shocks in the front when i turn full left and right with the 28 mm tires. Also i can't get the back ride hieght lower than 7mm...even with the shock collars all the way up. What can i do abou that?

hope this kinda helps

Guys I have a simple but I guess in depth question for you. In the past I have ran a schumacher on carpet, the dropped them and tried out a losi. Loved the losi, but now I want something different. I drove a buddies Evo II car yesterday, and thought it was great. But I wanna ask you guys, questions about it. How does it hold up to tweak problems, does he pretty much stay dead on? Also any other of you guys two cents about the car, would be much appriciated...

on the front you have to limit the steering travel from left to right and then they wont rub also shaving the shock mounts on the rear arm is a perfect solution on the situation of the ride height you have to true your tires to about 59mm then you should have no problem hope this helps

on regular sedan tires i have full turning radius but with foams, yes, i do have to turn down my dual rate, but I still want my full turning radius. Can anyone give me a solution for the front tires rubbing so that i can still turn the max with my foam tires.

sorry you cant and you should not have to, if you use your full turn radius you will be scrubbing off speed. anything more than 23 degrees of turning is just costing you speed
