Hey, don't forget Kyosho cup UK in September!

Here's some info I posted in another forum:

1. Change the front diff oil to a heavier one, make the front diff really stiff.
2. If you use rubber tires, change the shock oil to 250, the standard is 500 and is only good for the smoothest of circuits (unless you use sponge, then keep it at 500)
3. Ride height! Depends if your bashing or at a smooth track. 5mm (but make front slightly lower) for a smooth track, and at least 7mm, probably more, for bashing.
4. Make sure the engine is tuned properly, most advice that comes from the engine manufacturer about carburettor settings is garbage.
Here is a good guide by HPI on youtube

REMEMBER - just because you tuned it and it worked the other day, the correct tuning may change a lot due to the weather conditions.
5. Replace the silicon fuel tubing with a thicker type - you will gain 10 -15 % more power over the original tubing
