On Saturday I ended up swapping my L1 and L2 holders from one side to the other, subsequently going from the high/long position to the low/long position. It did indeed create an inner link height that was in between the regular high and low positions. The link angle and length seems to be similar to what the T2'009 with the stock gold link holders were at when in the low/long position (which was my favorite setup on that car).

This position worked great on our high traction outdoor asphalt track. I ended up adding 1mm shims to the outside of the camber link to get a little more angle, and the car felt very good.

What tyres etc do you use?

How does the lower link compare with the upper setting?

I have the Max Carbon upper link roll centre bits which allow me to set the height very precisely but I haven't tried going low yet?

Our control tire is the Solaris Hard-spec on spoked wheels. Compared to the default high setting I found the car to be more reactive while still maintaining a high level of grip. Corner speeds were increased. This may not work well unless the traction is unusually high like our track is.

Default Servo issue

Can someone suggest what servo to use for the T3 '11? I've tried to fit the Savox 1258TG and Futaba BLS451 but they don't fit correctly.

Yes both servos are unable squeeze between the posts. If I try to position the posts further apart it looks to be too wide.

hmm, I haven't used those servos but I am running a KO 2413, tekin RS and KO 408 Rx and it all fits nicely without cutting the servo tab off.

Thumbs up

I'm running the Savox 1258 TG in there now with a Futaba 614FF receiver and Tekin RS-Pro, it all fits in there fine. When installing the servo, keep the screws attaching the servo to the post slightly loose, position the servo in the widest setting(2nd hole) on the chassis, tighten the screw for the servo post, then the screws securing the servo to the post. Hope that helps.

You guys are right, in the widest position the servo will fit. I just didn't think there was enough material on the servo for the screws to make good contact. I'll give it a try, thanks for all the help!!

I run a full size futaba servo, a spectrum small rxr, and a Novak Kinetic all flat on the chassiss and still have the full movement of the motor for gearing. I did take the rear ears off the servo, but after tucking the wires between the servo and the rxr I could have left the ears on.
