I'm very close to the Orloski's Reedy setup from 2017 and especially with the shock oils, springs and pistons. I'm at 500wt from and 350 rear with red rear springs and green front springs. Huge difference in my car as well as I took that weight out of the front of my buggy that was under the servo. I'm going to get the 4 degree toe block setup to mess with as well as I'm running the stock 3 degree rear strap. My other setups are pretty close but I'm a little different on the my shims on the rear hubs and on that camber like by 1 mm more on each part of that. His setup along with the Tony Newland's help have been great. Tony's knowledge of the overall and what some adjustments do that I was fuzzy on really has been a huge help in the massive turn around in my car a my home track. Not use to running a lay down type tranny car and how aggressive they can be and especially this week are track had more traction that it had in years. Also not really use to ever needed to run that high of oil in the front of my buggies before.
Hey wyd, glad to help

Im back from the Reedy race and had 7 days with the team and cars on 2 types of surfaces. Med-high bite at SDRC and med bit at OCRC. We all made tons of changes testing the cars responding to the conditions and we definetly have a good grasp on what changes work better on either. My results sucked, but Mikey ran really well and missed the bump into the Open A main by 1 spot. The cars worked great all week. If you need more help with grip or getting the feel your after let me know. We made alot of progress last week
