I ran Kody's setup today and the truck was dialed, layout was different so can't compare lap-times though. Truck was consistent and stable but was it better than the Rcshox/3rd part setup - short answer - no, was it worse, no, it was basically the same but less twitchy and less corner speed. All evened out in the end. There are obviously two ways to skin a cat here and both work equally well. But that begs the question - Is there a magical combination of RCshox parts and a dialed AE setup? I'm going to try and find out.

My track is a bumpy, dusty medium sized 1/8 outdoor track.
As for tires, well, 7 trucks in the 4x4 Amain and 6 different treads so as of now (track's first year) nobody knows lol.
