Yes and no, at MACH the team used a very short setup, while at RROC Marc was 0.5mm longer rear and Viktor who won was 0.5mm longer front and rear. I find short wheelbase has less cornerspeed, but maybe I need to change other settings to compensate for the extra grip

For what it's worth, I tested our bladders, shock seals and purple springs on the car. Every item outperformed the Tamiya counter parts and the purple springs actually had a better feel than the HPI Silver. However, our springs are 13mm vs 14mm in I.D.
Interesting, I have heard good things about your bladders, I may pick some up to test. Which HPI silvers did you try, black silver or silver silver?
