Ripon is awesome...As is the way it is operated by Dan (owner) and Ruben (organizer). Racing doesn't get any better in my book.

Will be heading south in a couple weeks to visit all the SoCal tracks and to the Reedy to compare. Is RCX worth attending?

Seems that Losi should be offering up a line of servo savers...

that one will do fine for a jrxs....

Bill RCX, is worth going, bring some cash, because it is a selling show, not a show that supports the local hobby shop.

from the stock set-up, The changes have in order:

1. High diffs = a better cvd/lcd angle to the diffs/spool
2. Long rear camber = A more stable rear end, trying to get the car to steer from the front not the rear. It seemed to eliminate the rear from stepping out.
3. 2 degree rear toe bracket = I think this is stock but I tried so much I just ended up here and the rear bite and steering were the best so far.
4. Low rear roll position = When using the higher position and/or shims the car needed a short camber link to get the balance of steering and rear grip, but the rear was a little unstable.
5. 0 front pivot = Well I tried 2,1,0 and the initial steering was better with more toe-out in the pins, the middle was lacking. With 0 and the low rear roll the steering was back in the middle of the corner and the entrance was not compromised.

I guess I should of changed 5 and 6 because 6 was what I worked on before 5.

6. High front roll = To get the car to turn in and carry the arc I raised the front roll, the higher I raised it the better it got (but more than 2 thick shims and some arm and carrier plastic needs to be removed) So I stopped at 2 thick shims.

7. camber just for reference

8. Spacing the arms forward well = I tried all three ways and I liked forward better

Remember your results may vary But we got to try stuff outside the box (only way to learn)

Thanks Ron!

Its pretty stiff Eric. A lil less than a FK04 BMI set-up. Front ot back is very stiff and torsionally its med. to high stiffness.

It might could use one stiffer for carpet but so far on the pavement it feels great.
