Compare their set-ups at the same events , not so unlike each others ...

being to
4 or 5 Roar Nats & Reedy's off-road events.......


All on west coast ....

Going with Scott Brown to your track next year ...
Well obviously two pro drivers who run the same car, at the same event are going to have the same basic setup, as that stuff is what works. But there will still be things that are different between the two drivers car. Those are the things that make the car work for that particular pros driving style.

Just to throw in on how others setups dont work for everyone one example for me is; when the people drive my buggy they say that my buggy has no breaks, when they turn it up to their liking i cannot drive it. And i usually finish in top 3-4 in our stock buggy.everyone needs to start with kit setup and find what works best for them.

Excellent suggestion but it's been my experience Holeshots work well most anywhere under most conditions. At our local tracks, when there's traction different tires work differently but if the track is dry and dusty almost nothing works, but my Holeshots offer me the most bite of all. For the front I find the Scrubs work almost equally well on all fronts.

most of the front end (arms, tower, upper deck, hubs, etc.) and rear arms and tower would be a good start

Difference between elite drivers and the rest:

Elite drivers can quickly adapt to any car setup and drive it at its limit. The rest let a bad setup stop them from driving at the cars limit.

Proof: Cav setting blistering times without a wing at Cactus. Also, I was at a nitro race where Drake set the TQ with one bead of a rear tire completely off, and the bead on a front tire coming undone (and yes, several top pros and world champions were there).

Want more proof. Here's a pro driver driving a really bad setup faster than most can drive a really good setup buggy

When I built the shocks according to the instructions, they suck in instead of the piston pushing out, Help

I have seen one of the pro's at our track have a front tire fall off during a race, continue racing and could probably beat all the club level guys including me with 3 tires lol.
