Mainly stock, maybe some 19t or mod occasionaly.
What are the benefits of the damper tubes and where can I get them? Part numbers would be great.
Thanks

I only run this car on asphalt, but a standard t-bar set up for carpet should work. For stock try .020 or .022 front springs, 5 degree caster blocks, 4 deg static caster and purple tires in the front. In the rear use an .075 t-bar, blue or red AE shock spring with 40 weight in the shock and grey tires. For damper tubes use Losi heavy Hydra Fluid or Mugen 7k wt diff oil (anything viscous works, get a variety of fluids from the LHS and experiment). For damper discs do the same. In mod go to pink tires and maybe soften the rear up a bit. Ride height 3mm rear 4mm front on a smooth track, higher for bumps.
This should be a mellow, easy to drive set up, but it's only a starting point.
Damper tubes allow you to set the fore and aft dampening independently from the side to side. It just works better for me.
I used CRC tubes on my Yokomo, Part number 1369, short damper tube. For Blue ask for blue in the check out area (or send an email).
