Donny- What are your current setups for World GT 13.5 and 12th scale 17.5 on a tight, high grip track?
Thanks,

Damn i was building my car and saw you post and thought i was an idiot because i put them in the gap on the rod end.. Now i know they were in the right place. I read the manual like 10 times and didnt see any mention of them. Being that FJ built like 50 of these i believed what he said.

I posted a setup a few pages back. I'd run the same thing in the WGT car with maybe a lil less camber up front, no pod droop and 4mm ride height all around. That would be a good starting point. Might need .20 side springs too but would have to try it first and see. Haven't run the car since Vegas had .20's in it there. Hope this helps.

edit: heres that setup so you don't have to dig. other thing I forgot. super small front tires on wgt car, almost on the rim. also dont be afraid to try .22 front springs on both cars.
Front:
-1.5 Camber, 3 Caster
3.5mm Ride Height
Green spooge on kingpins
.20 Springs
Magenta front tires, 1.59 glued 90% up sidewall
Front tires shimmed out .060" both sides
Center:
35 wt Oil in Shock
1.5mm pod droop
Copper spring
Battery Forward
3.5mm Ride Height
Rear:
Green Spooge in Tubes
.18 Speedmerchant Linear Side Springs <--DIALED
Side Springs just touching

question about front end kits
do the new edition SM front end conversion kits for the other manufacturer's cars use the older graphite cross piece with pressed in teflon Orings? Or do they now come with the new grapite crossbar that has the retainer rings to hold the Orings in place?

What would you change for low to medium grip. Our track doesn't get used a lot so it's very green.

we have the option to, but the cars always seem to work great box stock middle/middle and it's what we always work back to.
