We will have setup sheets posted from Ryan's and Joe's buggies soon.
Thanks for the info. Feels nice to know there is someone on the other end for a company vehicle you are considering.
Looking forward to seeing the setup sheets.

I have a feeling whatever our current spring\piston\oil combinations have been on the .3 buggies, will be similar on the .4. Then adjust from there.
The caveat to that being, the guys that haven't done any testing with the LF springs on the .3 buggies. If you haven't, and still running the OG buggy springs, start at 1 color softer than the buggy springs when going to the LF. And you'll also want to play with oils. I dropped my oil 200CST when I switched to the LF springs.
Basically, the guys that have already played and test-n-tuned the LF springs, and found what they liked, will be at an advantage when switching to the .4 VS. the guys that haven't.
Good stuff. I'll be coming from a different vehicle if I go with Tekno (which looks likely) and was curious if the whole LF spring thing will make its way to the sct410 side of things and if not is there a reason?
