Freaky duck,

I'm no expert, but I'm very happy with my cars performance. The obvious challenge with this car is to make the rear stable. To achieve this, you have to make the front unstable. I achieved this as follows:

Front: suspension needs to be firm and oil heavy. I run yellow short spring, and 45 wt oil. I also run +1 camber in front with 1 degree toe out. Spacer inside shock is stock from manual.

Back: I run soft suspension, red short spring, 35 wt oil and - 2 camber. Toe in is stock kit. Shock spacer insdie damper is stock rear from manual Rear shock tower, I'm using middle hole. If you're still spinning in turn, you may want to go to 3rd hole, (inside).

I run M-wheel base, with battery in back position. For you I recommend battery all the way back. You want all the weight in back wheels.

Tyres: I run m chassis radial. On front I used hard radial with soft insert. On rear I run S grip radial with soft insert. I don't have much experience with the Tamiya type a slicks.

If you're using brakes before you enter a turn, I recommend you adjust your brake EPA to under 50%. Then test the car, and lower the EPA until it doesn't spin any more.

Hope this helps
