My 04 is set up to under steer a little, with blues on all four corners, but the fine tuning comes down to steering input and front toe. In all cases we run S Grips on all corners, with full sauce rear and partial front.
In other news, I found me a Xevo!
Jim, prior to running the car make patterns of the suspension mounting X pieces. Those suckers break easily. Forget about the blasted droop screws in the rear and use shock length to control droop. Too many pieces to maneuver.
Other than that, the Xevo never saw a Tamiya Mini it couldn't run rings around. Great car. You're gonna be surprised at how good of a car it is. Just stay off the boards cause the car can be fragile.
I finally gave my 2 away cause that's all I'd run. They were that much fun. It would be interesting to see how fast it would be with a 21.5. Sorry, but I can't remember the setup, but do remember it was on the soft side-------no Tamiya Mini springs.
