Getting ready to set up my 1/8th scale e-buggy for a trophy race, and after reading this entire post over the last week I figured I'd give your process a try and see the results.

My question is, is it best to get spring match with the shocks in the middle of the mounting points. In other words should I put the upper shock mount in the middle hole and with only two holes in the lower arm put the shock end in the inner hole? I realize I may not get spring balance and need to adjust the mounting location, but is the middle of the road the best place to start and try to achieve spring balance there.

Trying to get a little better slow speed cornering and better ability to handle entering a corner a little to hot. Some of the second problem is the driver not being confident on what the buggy's gonna do when over driven.

When I raced back in the late 80's early 90's and battery power was at a premium we (or should I say I) didn't over drive coming into a corner and put more of a load on the battery trying to keep the tires turning under extreme loads of g-force.

I see other drivers just pitch their buggies into the corner, power slide them through and haul a!# out of the corner. I just can't get myself to do that yet .
