Hi Paul,
I am trying to set up my 008 Xray with a spool for VTA with the 25.5 motor and the low grip Hadley carpet. Currently I am running 30 weight oil in the back, 40 wt in the front, 1.5 degree of camber in the front, 2.5 camber in the rear, about 3 degrees of rear toe in, no toe in the front, stock springs and sway bars. In the first heat of our last race the car was out of control loose when as you try to accelerate out of the corner. In the second heat I only used compound on the rear tires, raised the front ride height, and put the stock springs on the rear. It was better and in the last heat I put the stock springs on the front. It was better but still loose on acceleration on out of the corner. On our carpet the grip isi an issue. Thanks.
