I bought my 3.1 off a mate because they're so hard to find in retail, he's a bit of a nerd when it comes to setups of 12th scale. (I'm typically a touring car guy)
I feel I've got tires sorted from running various brands I think I finally know what does and doesn't work at my local.

Some advice needed on setups if anyone has some answers.
1. What is the best way to check toe without forking out for a setup system
2. My car seems to push heavily and be a little dull on steering mid to exit.
3. Ride out adjusters in the front, does anyone run shims above the springs?

Thanks gurus
1. Setup system IMO is ideal, but you can probably get away with a set of verniers or a steel ruler. But, as I said, the setup system works like a treat. Eagle Racing offers a setup system for cheap. I have it, works well.

2. What's your setup?
Look at moving the steering crank system more forward.

3. What do you mean?
