Sorry im kinda thinking out loud and looking for some input I just found this odd.

I posted Juho's Worlds Setujp featuring 3B arm mounts all around. Can;t get any higher than that.

For some reason the high roll center works better. We accidentally discovered this with the TC5 back in 2008 and have been running high until recently where we have tried to run lower settings thinking that this is the way it should be. But higher consistently runs better on AE cars so even if it does not seem right, it works.
