just wanted to let you guys know that Justin Lessard was on rails at the Express race yesterday. I was very happy with the way my car handled, I just couldn't wheel it quite the way I wanted.
ORL2 and Charity race this weekend mean road trip to MD!!
Im going to try post my setup, any feedback/comments/suggestions post away.

If anyone has any 1-2 run rp36's from nats they would like to sell please let me know. Also, could I get the newer Rp36's from Schumacher?

hey guys
i run out doors aphsalt with medium traction with a standard mi2 on rubber tires i started the day with schu blues on rear and whites on front (pro spring nt old) with black front sway bar and silver rear and by the end of the day i had both sway bars off and swapped the spring front to rear and also loosened the rear diff trying to get the car to drive aroung a broad high speed corner it got better but i have to back off and the local fast guys can stay flat out any tips to get the car to steer while throttle on??
i run a diff and cant really afford a oneway
also in a chicane i find the car doesnt want to change directions ie from turning left to turning right to straighten up anything i can do??
i hope my explanations are clear if not highlight wat u dont under stand and ill try again btw it 2mm front and 3.5mm rear to much droop??
cheers all
and go team schumacher and teemu!!

We have not found a situation yet that required a spring stiffer than the kit 14lb white springs. In fact some of the mod guys are running springs softer than that. Shock angle, oil changes and black (1.5mm) sway bars are all we have needed to get dialed in.

Heavier oil and sway bars will fix this.

Mo was on point this weekend. His car was dialed just like at the nats. I tested my brushless this weekend for the first time. Report to come later.
Mo is looking good to repeat at next weeks Revo race butif I can't beat him we'll finish 1 & 2
PW- get rested my friend because we got Vegas around the corner!

Run the car with the kit springs and swaybars.
Make sure that the swaybar links are completely vertical.
Set your camber to 1.5 deg on all corners. 1.5mm front droop and 2.5mm rear droop (above RH). This should give you a good starting point. Drive the car for a while and get used to it before changing stuff around.
My only deviation from the kit setup right now are only the springs (15lbs).
I'll help you out when I'm back in town.

does locking the diff put strain on drive shafts?
just i still crash pften and only have plastic drive shafts?
im only running a johnson 540 so not exactly high speed but i cant afford new drive shafts

Yes it will put more strain on the CVD's. And the plastic ones will probably break if you hit something. But a front diff is inherently going to push on power on asphalt. The only other thing I can think of is limiting the front droop a bit.
