Currently though I have 2 washers under the front ball stud. I feel like its lacking all around, more more so mid-exit.
I also noticed that my front shocks do not rebound all the way when mounted to the car...is this normal? They dont even rebound to the point of the arm being flat.

Tear it apart. Check your inner and outer kingpins to make sure they're not bent, check your shock shafts, and make sure everything moves freely.

If you cant lift your front end and get to level, your car is jacked. If you can lift it and goto level, but when you put it down it sags, adjust you ride high or use a stiffer spring.

We run on an indoor hard packed clay track, any most people have been running gold bar codes all around, S or SS rebars...etc. The Rebars in the rear are actually worse and push more than the barcoes.

I saw these and wonder how the angles ball cups might help with the rear link rubbing...

Received my big bores this weekend and am just now getting around to putting them on the track. They are really nice, and definitely worth the purchase from what I have seen thus far, but I still am looking for more steering! 
Set up is direct from the sheet of paper provided with the big bores, Losi 32.5 wt front and Losi 30 wt in the rear, C towers in the middle position without the shaved brace, but with no washer under the ball stud, and a 2.5 degree toe block.
I have changed the ball cup out to +0 in the front and have yet to try it..just trying to figure out where to go.

If you think so , C-hub can be tuned with .030 spacers .
Been using one .030 under chassis stud for a while .
Even switched back to no spacer for a few packs yesterday , still liked the steering the extra .030 brings.

Has anyone heard when amain will get the rear BBs in stock? I received my fronts a couple days ago but Ihavent heard or read anything about the rears.
Before anyone flames me, I did search, but what camber is everyone running with the worlds car? I'm a newb and have been reading a lot but I've read conflicting answers.

I keep reading all the stuff about ball cups and then I think..... "learn to glue tires better you baddie before you worry about ball cups" LOL.......
I swear I suck at gluing them. I'm good for 1-2 deg active camber / toe on my tires just from the wobble

lunsford
I've got some en route from Amain, with a couple different sets of pivot balls/shock bushings to see what works best. I'll keep ya posted and post pics. Any more info on the possible new lunsford mounts?
