For anyone that has tried to visit my site teamtamale.com and found it unavailable, I apologize for the inconvenience. I have been using a fairly in expensive web host for this and am only allowed a certain amount of traffic per month, and because of increased interest in this and other parts this month, this limit has been exceeded. It will be available the 1st of next month. You can always purchase directly from by contacting me directly at [email protected].

That setup is a little dated, look at his latest setup and some of the other team setups. Most of the setups now have the shocks laid down, not stood up like his dnc setup.

The DNC setup is what I'm running and I like it. Just tried the 6* plates today and wow the car became very easy to drive and likes to be pushed compared to the 14* Still hugs the corners. It's a nice comfortable drive now. I put 10* on the e buggy and it also became a much easier drive.

Lay the shocks down if you want that end of the car to become more lazy. IMO it's a tuning option from track to track - not set in stone.

Hey Frank, I am running Vic's setup but with stock 14, with the change to 10 or 6 did you notice the car wasn't so twitchy? I have a converted XB8E and still run nitro XB9 and my fast laps are in Ebuggy but I'm more consistent with the XB9 nitro. I had a XB9E and I was more consistent and pulled my fast laps in electric before switching, It seems to be twitchy coming out of corners with very little movement on radio wheel, I don't like using radio expo or haven't yet whenever I tried it I like a more linear steering and throttle
My thoughts are it's too narrow maybe running pills all the way in but (also a little worried about earlier reports of axles coming out if pills are further out) could move pills or buy wider wheel hex to make car wider if that would help but haven't tried the steering changes

The 10* plates were night and day difference much less twitchy.

Hi Frank,
Does the car push more with the 10's?

10 degs have more turn in than the 14 deg and 6 has more than the 10's. I have tested them all on multiple different tracks but I have stuck with the 6's for a while now.
