Default my set-up

BMI12RR

Front:
0.020" springs
10 deg. reactive caster blocks
shims on either side.
kingpin shims - 3 on top and 1 above steering arm.
ride height 6 mm
40 SH ATS tires (44 mm diameter)
Servo angled - ball studs in center of servo saver position.

Rear:
30 SH ATS tires (47 mm diameter)
ride height 6 mm
Hard L-bars on short position

Center:
shock spring - gold

ball stud - tall (BMI)
ride height 6 mm
batteries back position
antenna mount position - back
side dampers - 5000 weight diff. oil

This is my set-up. I tend to have under steer. If I change to softer tires on front, they wear out very quickly and after 4 minutes I am on the rim and back to no steering. The other problem is that the car traction rolls at high speed cornering.
