My starting setup on carpet with M-05 (briefly)...
- GET THE CAR TO RUN IN A STRAIGHT LINE! For me that meant high torque servo saver, aluminium steering posts and shims. I also took out the bumpsteer with a spacer on the upright.
- Tyres - Sweep 25 all round, glue sidewalls of fronts.
- Shocks - CVA super mini, blue short spring front, yellow short spring rear, #600 oil front, #500 oil rear (makes no difference on these dampers)
- Ride height - arms just below level front, arms level rear, allow a tiny bit of droop.
- Drivetrain - M-05 ball diff set tight (but not locked), UJs.
- Weight - 1300gm (rules)
- Body - Abarth 500 (225mm).
Car is good... got it running well just in time to strip it apart to build an Xevo!
