Ive found that going to then outer holes on then front tower helps minimise oversteer, and going in on the rear tower reduces the response of the rear end, making it less nervous. Although, this all depends on how your car is setup, and how you like to drive...

450f 400r oil, white pistons, 7.75f 8.0 r springs... in one from outer most hole on towers and outer hole on arms... if the rear is a little loose, i go to middle hole on rear tower only.

After seeing some pics of some of the pros cars I notice they are running the pressure line very long with a filter(?). What are the pros and cons of this and what exactly does it do? Thanks.

what you are probably seeing is this:

http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ust-Gas-Cooler

cools the exhaust gas going from the pipe to the tank, long pressure lines aide this as well. this keeps the fuel cooler which should help increase runtime. However keep in mind that running a longer pressure line will effect your tune as the pressure going into the tank will be decreased, so if you were to try one of these, try to keep your pressure line to about 8-10in long total for best performance

Thanks Joe for the heads up, the cool thing about this car is that you can use about any setup and it is still good I have spent countless hours testing setups and found what works for me with the tracks and surfaces that i run on. The car is pretty hard to screw up, I believe that is a sign of a well balanced car right out of the box After that its all just personal preferance.

I can say the biggest change that i have made to the car to improve lap times was the BCE X3 chassis. With back to back testing it proved to be faster on the track than the stock or the 5mm chassis. The thing just flat has more corner speed.

Thanks again Joe,


Scott
