Front:
Tamiya white
60W oil / 3 hole piston
middle hole on shock tower
6MM under camber link
middle hole for camber link
yellow sway bar
A/A blocks
stock spacer under front A block
2MM droop
1 degree toe out
-1 camber
5MM ride height
SOREX 28R's / HPI red
Rear
Tamiya blue
50W oil / 3 hole piston
3rd hole in on shock tower
2MM under camber link
middle hole for camber link
no sway bar
A/D blocks
no spacers under front blocks
3MM droop
-1 camber
5MM ride height
SOREX 24R's / HPI red
The car is stable with the Stratus 2.0, and more agressive with the Alpha.
This is a good setup. The bite comes up fairly quickly as the day progresses so make sure you make appropriate changes if needed. By the way this setup was from E.j Evans/Paul Paras so the setup is money.

itīs similar to the German Nats setup that we use.
changes are
Front:
no spacer under front A block
no toe in or out
Rear:
60W oil
2nd hole in on shock tower
same tires and inserts front and rear
Stratus 2.0 only
sometimes additional changes:
3 or 4mm shims under front camber link
no shims under rear camber link
-1,5 camber
how do you measure droop? lowest part of arm to the setup board or uprights to setup board. Difference is about 1mm rear.

With this you can very simply and quickly adjust the balance of load on the tires by adjusting the pre-tension on the springs.
Cheers, Mark.

Not too sure where you'd get a MIP tweak station here in Germany - I got mine from www.rccarinternational.com. They're in Holland but their prices are good!
Cheers, Mark.

Oops! Hadn't read your posting carefully enough - you aren't in Germany
Here's a link page to dealers from the MIP website - hopefully you can find a dealer in your country.

bevel gear?!?!
With all the talk about the front one-way I thought for sure it stripped after the front started slipping. This morning I opened up the gearbox and found out it's the shaft notch of the bevel gear that stripped! Any suggestions on a fix other than keep replacing them (only 2 spares came with the kit...) THanks, Jeff
