Yeah sipaboy,I think I will stay with my setup.Did you and balatico battle it out?Thats cool you finished 2nd.I am not going down to TCS as I just dont have time right now.But see you for sure at Hobbytown 2 weeks from saturday. This has been my most fun RC investment so far this year.My setup goes like this.

Front
3.5 mm at lowest point on chassis
Blue TRF short springs.
70 weight oil 2 hole piston in plastic cva shocks.
Shock length 56.5mm with 3 black orings inside.
.5 degree toe out on each wheel.
Hard sway bar.
Type A tires with firm foam insert.

Rear
6mm ride height
Yellow TRF short spring
25 weight 2hole piston in cva shock
Shock length 56.5mm with 3 black orings inside.
2 degree toe in carriers.
Hard sway bar.
Type a tires with firm foam inserts.

I cant get mine to traction roll at all.Everyone always complains that they have problems.I even have my electronics high for now and still no problem.Our track has good medium grip so we are good there.Anywas,If others can post there setups so I can compare ,I would appreciate it greatly.Last saturday was my first race and man it was a blast.
