In other hand, yesterday and today, i make more hours of testing, some work and others no, for me.
In first, the rear hubs (kfactory 1.5º), are a option to have, the car is more planted with 3º rear.
Now the anti-squat rear, work best, the car is more easy when brake, and have very good aceleration.
In front, the same, the car is good enter to the turns, have more steering, but with the rear most caught.
Definitely, for me, work best the HB stabilizers, front and rear, i feel the car more roll, is more round into the turn.
I use, HB springs, too, but this is more personal, the Lbs are the important thing.
There is one thing, which was not explained, in the front rear pivot block, the ball conector support seems to work slighty better, pointing up rather than put a 1 mm washer below ¿...? .
Finally, i test the Marcos, 2º setup, and the word is "smooth" , but for me, the lap times are slowest, is possible my skills are not than good, i haved to change some things.
In front, i put a 1.4 stabilizer, and 1mm F - 1.5mm R, below pivot blocks.
In rear, ball conectors up and 0.5 below, and 1mm rear.
With this changes, for me, are 0.3 - 0.5s, faster lap, but i use Sorex 36, because is the control tyre, for races here, and i need to adjust the car to this tyre.
Well, with this setup i put the rear hubs 1.5º + 1.5º in pivot block, (3º in total), and put 2 mm below upper link, front and rear, and the car are more fast, the grip in the track are slighty best, too.

Is normal, one setup is not possible to work perfect all people, the driver, the track, the grip, ...are more factors, but this setup work good, and helped me, thank you very much.
I hope, help to others TM drivers.

Here a photos, with 5300 Nosram Lipo, and HB stabilizers fit front and rear.

Greetings Luis C.
