Well I broke the first thing on my 415 today. A front body post. hehe.. It was a low speed hit dead into a metal corner dot that was sticking up. The post was cut clean in half where the lower body pin holds down the foam bumper. Oh well, I have new ones...

Anyways, just been playing with setups and I finaly think I have my 415 handling as good as my Yok SD. More testing and tuning needs to be done though.

Question for you guys. On the setup sheets, they would call for like 2mm rebound stroke. Or 2.5mm... or 3mm. Anyways, I've always wondered how they came up with this measurement since it's not measure like droop? After reading the instruction booklet over and actually reading the small tuning guide... I was wondering... do they measure it by measuring how far the droop screw protrudes down from the arm? Like the stock setups calls for 1.5mm front and 3mm rear. So on say.. Surikarns setup.. it would be 2mm front and rear that the screw would be protruding underneath the arm?

Well let me go clean off the car and replace the body post....
