Just received my WGT Four R. Any setup recommendations?
Right now it is 4* caster, 1* camber, Battery forward, Kit springs all around, 45 wt losi oil in the center shock and 5K in the damper tubes. The front springs might be .020s, but not sure. We've put .018s on our club members car and it seems to run better, so might do that right off.

That is a great start. You can try 35 wt oil with a very hard center spring.
.018s front springs for more steering. What do you feel you need more of in your car?

This will be it's first run. I'm comparing it to my RK10 and Rev8 Pro setups for the ballpark. I have a VBC Lightning 10 and CRC LE/SE with WTF pod plates up and running for the last couple of months. So far the softer front and side spring setups with a firm center spring seem to work well. Carpet is CRC Fastrack, about 4 years old. It's giving us medium high grip: Lots of tire chirping. I have a VBC Lightning 10 and CRC LE/SE with WTF pod plates up and running. I typically will tune the car to be slightly agressive on turn in and fairly neutral on acceleration.

The base setup with the transverse battery is on the money. Brand new tires, refit R35 body and was within a couple tenths by the second run. So easy to drive! It will only get better. I did have upgrade to Lunsford axles as one of the steel ones bent with just a brush of a tire on a pipe.

It does not. It adds two thin full length carbon shims under the pod plates and uses number 3 bearing retainers. The rear sits at 5.5 mm. The front uses 4 special ride height spacers to raise the front suspension. With one thin SpeedMerchant shim on top of the special spacers, the front is at 5 mm.

What's needed to convert the GT-4 Rubber Tire edition back to foam tire edition? Is spacers the only difference?
Can the car hold a 2s lipo? I want to use 2s 21.5 at my local track on rubber tires.
