Hello dude,

Over here in belgium there is allot of rain...maybe i can help u?

This is what i do to get some traction in the rain...:

-Put Pitshumizu D20 Tires on ur car (pre-glued from LRP-Nosram)they are
awesome in wet conditions!
-Change ur rideheight to 6 or 6.5mm front and rear thats beceause the water can pass under your chassis.
-Use ski-wax on your tires if its allowed in your country?
-Use blue-yellow tamiya springs or the HPI-HB standard gold-silver springs...
-1.5° camber 3°toe-in on the rear
-40WT oil around the car with 3 holes. No red sponges in dampers.
-I dont change the droop im always driving 4rear 5front measured with AE droop gauge.
-Very important use spool!
-Put ur esc power program to smooth when ur running MOD when running stock put it on full power...

Thats al i can say...oow something important, just take ur time when packing ur electronics.Heres my rain car for next weekend(i got my rheinard packed in for the rain and my MSXX for the dry conditions wit the LRP BL 4.5)
