I've created an editable setup sheet and it can be downloaded here:

Please let me know if you find any errors and I'll update the file.

British Menace

Good job. Thanks for doing that

The weight distribution on these cars is really good but does any one use a smaller battery then the 2200 and 2500mAh I use?

For instance. Does any one run like a 1450mAh battery in their car?

I just installed a 1600mAH LiFe pack from trakpower. It fit like it was made for it!!!!

Did it make much of a difference in overall weight and/ or distribution?

I'm in the building process. Plus I have only ran LiFe packs because my receiver can handle the lipo voltage. I do believe it is lighter then a lipo.

British Menace

I believe your right Bret.
I thought nk the LiFe battery's are slightly lighter then even the LiPo's!!

I'll be racing my GT7 for the first time this weekend and haven't been/won't be able to do much testing so I'm curious which setup most of you people are running.
Standard setup or Robbie Cerrato's?
What are the major differences in handling?

Do most people modify the upper arms to reduce caster?

British Menace

I'm in the same boat. I'll be running mine for the first time at the GLC. I have built the car with Robbies set-up and as he also runs the modified front arms for reducing caster I have also done that too.
Robbie does say that he uses this as his base set up at the track he normally runs at which has quite high traction so I guess if your going to run your car on a track with less then high traction, you may need to alter the diff' oils?!

Myself, as the GLC is usually high traction I will start out with Robbies set up. The only difference being 550cSt oil in the shocks.

PS: Also. Not sure if Robbie runs the outer steering tie rod under the front upright plate or not but that also improves steering/ reducing bump steer!

I am new to this car. How do you adjust the Camber.

afm

Rear camber adjustment is done screwing or unscrewing the top camber link
Front camber is done putting or removing shims on top pivot ball screw.

The rear is easy so I wasn't really think about that one. They only give us 2 shims. So do I buy more E0161 shims to change the camber. That seems an odd way of doing it. The XRAY has a set screw that adjust in and out.
