This link: http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...ber-links.html

The first 25-35 pages are good. Specifically the parts by "Fredswain".

The stock setup is usually a good starting point also.

Pretty good thread on Roll Center:

I like to go to the track early and experiment "one" thing at a time. I can tell in about 3-4 laps if its working or worse.
Also I take notes to the changes made and after the nights racing I record the results. I can review them and if I go to a different track and can quickly set them back when I return to my home track.

I think of roll center adjustments as a final adjustment to get the "feel" where you want it after tires, shock package, weight distribution, etc. are dialed in. To get a better understanding of how the car reacts with the roll center stuff, go ahead and make a big change so can easily see what it does. Like run it first with no ballstud washer, then go big like a 3mm washer and see what happens.. Change only one thing at a time when you are learning so there's no confusion. Write down what you learned in a notebook.

Thanks for the cheat sheet Mudcat! Never seen it put so direct and simple. Even dummies like me can understand this one.
Trying to set up a T4.2 for my son, it wants to lose traction when punched. I am running a 3300 kv venom motor [unsensored] paired with a tekin rs gen2, in blinky mode. Looking to make it more stable. Thanks for any help guys.
