I'm having a mare with it right now to be honest, so would like to glean as much info as possible to try and improve where I am with it! I can see it can be quick, as Kev showed being in the A (well done Kev!), so not slagging off the car just my understanding of it, but at the moment I am still @20 places lower with mine than when I run other cars.

How did you find it Jimmy, could see various coloured springs on it at different points, did you find a good setup?
Hi Dave,
The biggest improvement i have made recently has been wheelbase. I have been running mine recenlty on the shortest wheelsbase (inboard and out). I've also found filling the chassis pocket behind the cells with 20gramms of lead a really helps in calming the rear end down. i also run the cells as far back in the chassis as i can.

I have been really happy with the car the last few weeks and it keeps getting better.

Let us know what your problems were and maybe we can help?

This is how i ended up today:-

Front:
40wt oil
56 holes
green losi spring
outside on wishbone
inside on tower
long link on tower in extra drilled hole 1.8mm lower than top
short on hub - no spacer

Rear
3 washers behind wishbone
hub forward
middle link on hub
middle on tower
middle on wishbone
outer link on tower - just below half way in slot
2 1.5mm washer under antisquat plate
566 holes
35wt
red losi spring
cut down camber link ballcup for extra droop

20 gramms lead in rear pocket
inside and outside spikes cut off front
5.5 sintered on 21/84
