thanks for the tips. I will give it a try.

I need to lower my ride hieght as well! LOL

(track minimum is 4)
Stagger is the difference in tire height from Front to Rear. If the Rear tire height is 44mm, than the Front should be 42mm.

With the 1s LiPo, you won't need a stiffer center spring than Gold (12lb). We ran Red (14lb) with NiMH 4-cells, and with the reduced weight, a lighter spring is needed to get the chassis to work.

If the track minimum is 4mm, then set it to the minimum. Most carpet tracks are fairly smooth, which allows the lower ride height to work better, but if its bumpy, a little higher will help traction.
