Just got my truck yesterday and want a good base setup to start with. I plan on going to RCOne and practice/race at some point in the next couple of months before the Cleveland race.
Thanks,
Here is the most recent setup we ran with the 13mm truck shocks, it works very well. Kyle Holmberg helped me with it after he won the 13.5 Truck class at the Cleveland race last year.
FYI - We went to the Cleveland race last year and I was SHOCKED how much more grip there was in Cleveland vs. RC One. There are a few reasons for the extra grip: 1. It's always brand new carpet (Scotty sells it after the race and starts fresh the next year), 2. They run the onroad race the weekend prior on the exact same layout (minus jumps), and all the sauce adds grip to the carpet, 3. They use a wood sub-floor, 4. It's super warm in that ballroom.
Ryan posted two setups on the RC One FB page - one with a bunch of custom upgrades and mods and one with mostly stock parts; the one with stock parts is also a good place to start for RC One.
