Hi Guys,

Real quick set up help for you. I'm using TRF shocks as well so that is helpful for us to compare notes.

front-
5mm ride h
2deg camber
0 tor
yellow springs
50wt oil/ 3 hole piston
outter hole on extotek tower
droop= 20mm, top of axle to ground

rear-
5.5mm ride h
1.5deg cam
stock toe
red springs
50wt oil/ 3 hole piston
inner hole on exotek tower
droop= 21.5mm, top of axle to ground

general-
all weight at the back of chassis, battery, esc etc
abc tires
diff is free but not loose (ABC really needs an alloy dif!)
abc motor
no spacers under the hinge pin blocks
exotek prototype (sorry guys, maybe soon )


Enough rear ride height is critical- too low and too soft will result in rear of chassis hitting the ground. That may be happening to you Lotus and why the rear end is washing out.

When you say the car is pushing is that on corner entry, mid or exit?
