Thanks Jud. On other forum a guy told me to try a short rear camber link (Mid hole on hub) What is the effect of that?

Im with the box mspec setup. Any advice would be great thanks
I have settled on moving the front upper arms back all the way, going to 350 shock oil in the rear, and changed diff oils front to rear of 6,6,4 from advice from another local mugen driver and the car became very easy to turn and very predictable to drive. Everything else I run is box stock. Sometimes if the track is smooth I will take out a mil or two of droop front and rear. I just would not run a rear skidplate, when landing it was making the car unpredictable on some landings.

IM not sure but it seems like it will give you less pull out the corners. I would just leave it. The only thing I change is the front swaybar, depending on the tightness of the track.

I would like to go life over lipo Thanks
Remember the more Mah you use the more weight you add to the car, I'm currently using 1100 mah life from Orion, but have 2... one for practice and qualifying and one for the final, although I could just recharge the other one quickly cause life can take a quick charge... I will be switching to lipo again when I get my HV servos, because life does not replace lipo performance. Since you're using BLS servos a 1900 mah battery should last you a looong time... check your radio settings for travel so you don't have your servos working harder than your car lets them

yes, you will need to charge between rounds, I usually get about alittle over 1 hour out of 1600mah

Not true. My stickman nimh 1600 went 45 minutes with no problems during a 45 min main and still had juice.

Great so what's the point of life or lipos if s regular nimh can get 45 mins? If I do get life what size nimh should I get since I am assuming that a 1600 mah life batterie holds more juice over a 1600 mah nimh

They are lighter, I run a stickman pack running 2 HT 5955TG's and get 45 to 50 mins easy that's why I have never gone lipo/life

Exactly. Unless you want just a little more speed, and you already have the charger to do life or lipo I would stick with nimh. I recommend stickman I have never had one go bad or fail me and I charge them at 3.0 amps when in a bind.

If I am not in bind 1.0 amp

Not to butt in but, when you go shorter on the link you will notice the car rotating mid to exit corner a little more. It is useually described as " the car squares up quicker " this is useually desired by drivers that like to rear steer a car. On a slick track a short camber link can be a handfull

Hope this helps,

Scott
