Stay tuned for more feedback.

Protc and Miholc- the SMC is literally a 4s shorty not two 2s Shortys like in your picture.
I use a thunder power 4300mah and make 10mins no problem. I take about 2-3 laps before the race and put about 3300mah back in.

Whats up guys, quick question about camber. Generally would you run more in front or vice versa or the same front and rear? Opinions welcome

Less in the front. Most setup sheets I see use -1 front and -2 rear.

Another big thing that sometimes gets overlooked is how much camber will affect your truck. The other day I was testing a lower rear roll center and forgot to re-adjust my camber. My truck felt super loose in the back (the opposite of what I was expecting) and Danny asked me "What's your rear camber at?" Doh! I forgot to check it! It was only off by about .5 to 1 degree. I fixed it and re-tested, my truck was now locked in.
Just something to think about

Thats good to know. I try to always remember to check camber and toe wen making ride height changes. I asked about camber settings mainly because you see F1 cars for example with a lot more camber in the front then the rear. Was wondering if that could ring true for most applications in general.

Yes anytime you change your geometry always recheck your camber. I find myself going between -1 -2 and -2 -3 front and rear. All in what the track is doing and what you are looking for.

I'm getting ready to run some indoor with a 2s battery rule. The battery straps are a little long for this. Does anyone know of any other (shorter) battery straps that would work for this or does anyone have any tips on making this work? Thanks
