All you need is the Schelle chassis and Shorty pack conversion kit. About $140.

Change to 32.5 oil and green springs in the rear.

Pretty sure there is only one green but maybe they have more options now?
One step down from stock ASC91336

Since the springs are cheap, pick up a yellow front too, one step stiffer than stock. A few people have used those and liked them better than the stock blue fronts.

You can also play with roll centers by adding or removing washer under the inner camber links ball studs.

Lots of ways to go on finding more rear traction but I didn't find it till I went to green rears and 32.5 oil. Then slight tweaks to the stock tune.

Yellow front springs are one step softer than Red.

The colors go: Blue-Yellow-Red-Orange (stiffer as you go to the right)

I believe Red is the kit spring isn't it?

Maybe they have changed the springs provided in the kits but it was blue front and white rear.

Ok then with the yellow and green springs and changes to roll center you will be armed with all the tools to dial it in. Maybe blue and green? Maybe yellow and white? Maybe yellow and green... that should cover the range of spring rates needed on a clay track with grip.

Just looked at the .3 sheet and yeah, they went down 1 in the rear and up 2 in the front compared to the springs that came with the .2
And 1.5 front pistons... and a center diff... they really wanted to add some understeer to make it easier to drive!

For another $5 add the red fronts to your shopping list airride.

Cavalieri is running yellow, 1.6 35wt and green 1.7 30wt... closer to the .2 box stock setup.
