your closest bet is Umino's setup on Petit RC. THats for stock though. I have a funny feeling Volker isn't far off that setup.

When you look at volkers car at the ets, then you see, that he isn´t running uminos stock setup...

Different suspension blocks (mostly they use 44,2ff and 43,5fr and 42,0rf and 46,4rr but i saw a 45,7rr on volkers car at the ets), different hole in the rear shock tower (3 in front, 3 in rear), the short wheelbase in front and a different setting of the upper rollcenter, but you can´t really see what shims they use... Also he drives 1mm ackermann i think...

And the guys are driving the steering brace on carpet, but without that shitty screw in the topdeck!

I´m also interested in a volker setup, but they seem to be very quiet...

Based on the releases of the BD5 version, Yokomo will no doubt come out with another BD7 soon. Most likely a BD7W

My guess is that it would have the Ti screws and links, carbon arms and hubs with the possibility of DCJ's.

Maybe no-one can handle a volker setup.

Or maybe he's just busy winning races and since umino sets up his car he doesn't exactly know what they are.
