You need to try my setup 100% as specified below:

front:
1.6 pistons
30 ae oil
black springs
3 limiters
inside tower
outside arm
24mm ride height
1 balls stud washer

rear:
1.6 pistons
27.5 ae oil
green springs
2 limiters
inside tower
inside arm
shaved brace
2 washers
A hubs
24mm ride height

Ballast weight, battery 75% forward (1 pad rear, smaller front).
7g in rear triangles.
Diff std to tight.

After that, play with rear roll center going up in rear washers for more corner exit stability and down in washers for more infield traction.

I have a list of things to try if my car ever gets not awesome, but so far, ain't change'n anything

I think they mean in "front" of the servo under the steering link? Are you guys checking ride height on the rear under the gearbox or under the front part of the T plate. Took a couple years off to run TLR but really glad to be back running RC10's!

Thank You

I put them together with proline cc foam just like the gold barcodes I run which may not be good form that tire I'm guessing. After using them on 3 different occasions side by side with my barcodes I'm getting ready to cut them open to take the foam about before I trash them. I really wanted them to do good being usa made and having a funny name but I just don't like them.

I have been afraid of spending the $100 on the bb upgrade from v2 shocks w/bb springs since I feel pretty dialed but some buddies just got b4.2s so I will be trying their cars soon

Currently looking for the right rear tire for ocrc when its dry and want to try suburbs and ions, its so loose over there when they let the track run dry. I have only been back in the hobby 3 months and still building my tire collection back up.

I am even tempted to mount some hole shots for the dry dusty days because I have messed with springs and shims, etc I'm convinced its my tire at this point (and driving lol) during the dusty days
