PS572 rear, 577 front.
Camber on the 2, no spacers under plate.
Full sauce with Paragon.
Red Tamiya shock spring. Cranked.
Associated .022 front springs.
Ride height 3.5 front 3.5 rear
Took graphite axle out, went to steel axle, even better. you can feel the difference in the rear. Stable. Not touching set up til track changes. Better driver might have taken it all. Need to get better in the infield. Car can do it.
Glad to hear. When you are feeling locked in confident then try the 71 fronts
LOTS of infield steering/ speed.

I think switching to the medium front springs instead of the soft springs I have on there the car will be on the money. Car works great!
Sounds like a productive day. I like to run with a no slip diff and tune the wheel spin control through the radio and esc. The Tamiya diff is not a good 'slipping' type diff- she will spin out in a blink because 1 wheel always slips more then the other we've found.
