No tweak to the chassis, bulk heads or toe blocks but you can see how little material there is to mount the bulk heads to and how the bottom screw is de laminating the CF when i tighten it down. Time for a new chassis methinks.

1) add the hard plastic arms
2) use a thicker rear diff oil (dot 3 yokomo - similar to perhaps a 2500 to 3000 cst is my best guess)
3) reduce the number of spacers on the v2 steering from 2mm to 1mm
4) use the yokomo pink springs for the front and yokomo blue springs for the rear.
5) Very minor roll center changes, that would be tuned to the grip level of the track...but I ended up with a very minor 0.5mm added shim to the front inboard upper link and a very minor 0.5mm added shim to the rear inboard upper link.

Here is the link to the setup

On top of all that u probably weigh in around 20 grams less with a spool!

Trust me you'll like it better. just watch you battery strap anchor for full lock, you'll have to trim it up a bit.

Best regards,

PS, I'll have the race report for the last Mid West Grand Slam race tonight and our Set-up sheets as well.
