Thank you, but I mean in general what the car likes, I've read that many use -co5 and e20 at rear instead in front usually f05 or f00 and c05 (some arm sweep in general)
I was thinking to buy
1 co5
1e25
1f05
to begin to have some option to set the car
Would you recommend some other suspension mount(also central)
Thanks for help

Pinions
I have finished building the car but found that I have reverse the pinion when installing. I'm using CRC gold pinions. With the pinion in reverse position it's tricky to get access to tighten the set screw. The access hole in the bottom of the chassis doesn't align anymore.
I'm currently using a 96T spur and also notice that if you use pinions larger than 52T it might be very close to the red motor mount. I haven't tried putting one on yet, just noticed how closed my 48T pinion is to the motor mount.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Those are the blocks I like to keep around in my box. I also have an E20 and a C10, but on high traction carpet I haven't really found a use for them just yet. The blocks you listed are def a great start. I would also suggest grabbing the optional swaybars as well.

Suspension Shims
FYI:
When ordering shims, the center shim packages come with 2 each of .5 mm and 2 each 1 mm, therefore you'd need 2 packages of shims in order to have enough .5 mm shims to lower all 4 suspension blocks the same amount. The Front/Rear packages have enough to do the job.
This was not clear to me until my recent VBC parts order arrived and discovered I lack enough .5 mm shims to set the Car up for tomorrows Race, "Oh Well!"

The team powers rotor doesn't have enough flat spot to get the pinion set screw on the motor side, so I had go on the batt side.
But I thought the CRC gold ones fit with no issues

Our Website mentions these item specifics and we write our own descriptions for every single product that makes it onto the site. I did double check to make sure that we did have this information on the site, regarding the suspension mount shims, and we do.
Anyway, hopefully you will be able to get your hands on some before you race tomorrow.
Have a great weekend.

I had to do the same for the PRS pinions. I access the set screw from the rear diff cutout from the bottom. The new PRS is even worse, and I have to loosen the motor screws to get the right angle.

So I figured out about the pinion issue. It does have to do with the motor...the length of the flat on the shaft is the key. I took a Dremel and lengthen the flat and everything is working now. The pinion goes in the normal direction and it centers with the spur, and the set screw aligns with the chassis slot.

On another note, any reports from the hobbywing asia open?
