thanks.. i feel more connected to them.. they accelerate faster... react faster.. just more my style of driving... i still have a few little things to work on but the setup is about 90-95% to my liking... jeremy

It certainly accelerates faster and has quicker on-power steering, but what I was lacking in my prior ride was the lap to lap and race to race consistency. I can push the car really hard and have it react in an expected fashion.

Hey guys this past weekend I raced with Alan Burton at our local track. We had a hell of a run but I saw one thing I was lacking. My buggy was a little better through the outer high speed sections of the track, but his was better on the low speed in-field, which is really what counts on this track. He would erase any gains I could make on the outer parts of the track and then some. I didn't have the low speed off power steering he did. I need a little more, but don't really know what to change...lol. So with this being said I'm running the front :
camber links at B on the hub and 5 on the tower
Front shock 4 on tower and A hole on arm.
Running 10 deg caster hubs
5K diff oil in front
Shock is 8 hole with 37.5wt
The buggy was great and was super fast, but just need a little more in all the tight 180 sections. Never really noticed it till I had to run with Alan.

Our truggies were acting similar so we put a softer sway bar in the front, and a stiffer one in the rear, after that the car could rotate on a razor blade, made a huge difference...

1-A on the front camber link and in the rear 1-B will give the car a lot more turn in.
