My setup is a few pages back on this thread somewhere. It's not a setup sheet, I just typed it out. I think you will find that this setup is pretty laid back and easy to use. If you're outdoors, you probably don't need to increase the sway bars and may not need the purple srpings but the geometry that I'm using seems really good to me.

I got both my buggies working this weekend very well. I am blown away how easy they are to be fast. Gene helped me with driving advice and after I set my head in that direction to drive differently then it was an amazing experience. I raced at Lake Park here in Florida on a washed out, bumpy, dusty track. There were heavy hitters at this race and within 6 minutes I had lapped the field except for Ryan Eckert. In the beginning of the A main I was battling with J.R. Mitch and the nitro car had no issues running neck and neck with him adjusting lines to his unique driving. Both the cars were amazingly fast and the consistency was hard to believe. I'm going to go over the details of my setups on my website and see if I can get the pistons I made available for purchase. I hope to keep improving this car and with others help we can get this car performing with the best of them.

However, like Gene mentioned a lower link will get you around the corner quicker and allows the car to rotate. It lets the car square up alot quicker but if you want and very easy to drive car and trying to be consistent and cut down some of the steering and tighten the rear up, I would move it up.
My current set up shows a low link but the Intech has much more rear traction than the D8 ever thought about having and steers more to boot. Our indoor track is usually high bite but the owner changes the track very often. He lets it dry out a week or two before changing it so it can get a little slick from time to time. Last week, I ran one hole up from the bottom, this week, new track and I was back in the low hole.
It really shouldn't take you very long to find something that will fit you. I didn't follow anyones setup when building my car. I built it to what I though I would like and she has been a joy to drive and a fast car on top of that. When driving, it's like man, I'm not doing anything but you're actually tearing out the bone.

Since becoming a dealer, I have sold a few BR-6 buggies. Some fella's have me build the car for them. Some don't have the time and some don't like building. Today, I built my 4th kit and I'm fast and don't need a manual....
Today, I noticed the fuel clips no longer need glued to the tank. They are mounted on the rear mount and the lid hinge.
Also noticed the shock shafts are now longer. Love seeing these little inprovements. A good sign of dedication towards a product. Many companies are reluctant to change unless it's a faulty part and then you might get lucky.
Very impressive.

Yeah I have my first race this weekend with my nitro and e buggy. I was told the track is very loose and somewhat bumpy as there isn't a groove yet from the winter months. Was wondering if guys could post what setups you have been running so I can compare them and make my own and go from there
