Notes:
If you don't want to do the suspension block modification, I've found running the shock in hole #1 on the front suspension arm with the standard suspension blocks works really good too. It gives a somewhat similar feeling and is worth a try. Just combine it with a 0 deg toe block to take out the arm sweep, and use a standard wheel hex.

This setup is for a med-high grip carpet track.

Happy Racing!

Hi Korey
Im gona start with your set up at the Birds.
1) but where do you get that suspension block mod, will i be able to get one there?
2) You say you run 37.5 oil, I guess thats losi oil, but what is the eaquivalant of MM oil please, or do you suggest I use Losi oils?
3) Do you use the black foams in the top of the shock bladder?
4) And how much rebound do you have in your shock please?

Cheers Malc
