I've been running stock shimming and been winning at club racing. Haven't been motivated to change. We've got a healthy 12th scale class with a mix of xray, awesomatix, crc, and all three brands are essentially running the same times and coming down to consistency and some times traffic. We're like all so close week over week its not even funny. Eight minutes of trying to drive more perfect than the next guy. My current line of experimentation is how tall I can true my tires anti-chunking methods and still be competitive, lol. I'll try some RC changes in the future, I'm sure, but I'm literally book build 3.75mm ride height with 1mm pod droop and -.5 caster and a diff. It's just... so good like that I have a hard time messing with a good thing.
