Did you lower the ride height due to the 3mm chassis to maintain the 39/42 stock setting? What is your setup you are using?

Honestly, my setup is kinda funky right now, I didnt have the black front springs for the 2.0, so I had to use red, 7 front, smart diff with 2 .15 springs in it in the center, and 3000 in the rear, 35 with 56 pistons up front, and 32.5 in rear with 56 pistons, grey springs, I didnt even have time to measure the ride height, just set the dogbones at level, and called it good, I will dial in the setup this weekend, and have bill post it on the website for you guys.

I ran this chassis all week at the Australian National Truggy Titles. the Track was rough and hardpacked and grooved through the rounds and finals

I have been playing with my setup abit and have made some changes from my stock setup so i thought id put them up for you guys

Front
6* toe out (changed from 4*)
2* camber
38mm ride height (changed from 40mm)
2 / A camber links
2.3mm sway bar
55 hole with 32.5wt oil (changed from 35wt)
Black Springs
2 / Middle on the shocks
108mm droop (changed from 110mm)
7K diff oil

10K center diff
13/50 gearing

Rear
Adjustable braces with 1's up in the front and 0's in the rear or 3* anti squat, 2.75* toe in (changed from 3.25* toe if or .5's out)
3* camber
43mm ride height
1 / B camber links
2.3mm sway bar
56 hole 27.5wt oil (changed from 32.5wt and then from 30wt)
White springs
3 / Middle on the shocks
130mm droop

I ran AKA Cityblocks or Ibeams all week

My truggy has never handled as well on any track as it did this week once i got my setup dialed in with this setup

Thanks Tix for the race report,
and for the set up , if you other guys
want to post or send one in

great to start a data base and get all
off the different track conditions posted.

I ran the BCE chassis yesterday for 2 hours or practice. I love this chassis. It makes enter and exit in the corners much faster and overall easier to drive. Great product.

i consider my self a intermediate driver, have both the losi 2.0 w/bce chassis, had my first win with the buggy last night in a 20 main, stock set up with smart diffs in both the center and front, only maybe 4th time with the buggy, thinking about taking the smart diff out of the front, just too much steering. also won truggy , stock setting with smart diff both center and front, i have way more expierence with the truggy and realy like the diffs, had several people come up to me through the night and look at the truggy, they couldnt believe the way it handled. this was not my home track, the truck still had not been rebuilt since july 11 th at the 2 hr nitro pit race. during the intermission i let several people try the truggy, they just had a real hard time believing the way the truggy handled. bill thank you for a great product and also xxxtcr thanks for selling me the p4 it rocks. ive never had and engine that has ran so well.

I had my 1st race day with this chassis on sat. It ran great. There are 2 guys that run in my area that I am alwYs chasing and comming in behind them. This time I was so close that I took 2nd only a few seconds behind. Throughout the 30 min main I was in 1st many times. That hadn't happened until I bolted up the bce chassis. I also got several looks because no one in my area has seen the losi bce chassis before. My hats off to you guys at bce the proof is on the track and in the lap times I can't wait go get my hands on the bce buggy chassis.
