Hey guys, my kit came in yesterday and I'll be starting the build in the next couple of weeks. I was curious if there was a particular setup that seemed to work best in the chicagoland area (Leisure Hours, H2, Clark R/C park). I'd like to build the kit from the start with a halfway decent setup on it so I'm not too far off.
Also, are people running the 2mm rear mod all the time, or is that a track by track type adjustment? I noticed on Lutz's setups that some listed it in the notes, but others didn't.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this, looking forward to my first foray into nitro.

Yes I did, and checked Ryan Lutz's setups too. It doesn't matter so much if it's nitro or electric. I'm always running nitro setups on my brushless buggies, I just need a setup to start then I do little mods once I'm on the track if needed
.
I'm just wondering which setup to choose as a basis for quite flat and loose track, with very few jumps. The car is all ready now, just waiting for its setup to race it tomorrow
. I looked at many setups and vids but all the tracks have massive jumps so I doubt the setups I found are adequate

It's not the first time they test "weird" things on the front bulkhead. Maybe what we're looking at here is just to add some weight on the front.
Also i think they might be testing a different chassis, or at least Jorn is not using the stock one.

If you look at the front bulkhead where the diff case fits there's a light grey part between them. So i guess it moves forward some weight and makes the driveshaft angle a little wider?

Here is my slghtly modified DNX408

Thanks Ryan for all the setups you share it was very helpful for me in the last race. The car is so planted, jumps with no effort, awesome steering... I love it.
I kept the pink for my JQ, pink is the fastest colour and I already go faster with the DNX
What setup do you guys use on a loose track with few bumps?
