So I went to the track today for some practice to break in the new car and all I can say is that this thing is great!!! Box stock setup was easy to drive and felt.pretty good. I made a few changes to fit my driving style and I will post the.setup but this car is right there with the rest of the crowd in terms of performance I am actually blown.away with how good it is out of the box. Very happy I made the decision to get this car. I like it more than my tc6 I previously had.

I lengthened the rear link and moved the rear shocks in a hole on the tower. Used 35wt AE oil (425 CST) in the shocks. I was just making changes to see what would happen and kept the ones that gave better laptimes. I even ran it with the supplied roll center shims but found it too edgy for my driving style so I took them off. But I am wanting to try staggering the roll center and see what happens . Ie lower front higher rear or vise versa as well as anti dive and squat.

I was running on carpet med traction . My car weighed in at 1367g so I had to add a little bit of wieght to the left side of the car since the lipo was on the heavier side. Not sure of the actual lipo wieght as it was a borrowed Lipo so didn't pay much attention to it. Still waiting for my battery to show up in the mail.

But it has to be as close as possible to 1,350gr.
Did you use a light weight body or not?
I am trying to find a LiPo as light as possible (<300gr)
Maybe titanium screws will help also.

Here in the Netherlands the cars weight needs minimal 1350grams. He is always thinking about some chassis... He is in more topics active... Also was in serpent and corally hmx.
