Last night, I tried it for the first time on our local track it was good there as well. As far as difference in the regular tower, I would say had more rear grip, but at the same time, it was much more agile and easier to drive at the same time. I also tried it on my ebuggy last night. My ebuggy was super fast, but kind of loose if the track wasn't perfect or if I didn't have my best tires on it. With the new tower, it had tons of rear grip and was super easy to drive. I did notice it lost a touch of off power steering with the added grip, but before, I had 35wt oil front and rear. This time, I just threw on the nitro rear shocks that had 32.5. I think with a few minor changes, it should be just right.
What rear shock bodies are you using with the short rear tower?

Thanks

If you cant find the HB one, 6MIK also make a alloy version of the same geometry but with additional camber links on.

I'm currently building a D817V2 and I did not see a setting for the servo saver in the manual. What is a good setting to start?
