my setup at the moment:

Wheelbase: one spacer at the rear of the front arms, one at the rear of the rear arms (with 2 at the front of the rear ) I think thats as per kit!

Front:
Camber link on upper outer inside link
camber link far out and high on the c hub (not sure how I'd adjust the outside one, another ball stud further in?)
Shocks mounted inner hole at the top, outer hole at the bottom.

Rear:
Inner camber link on the inner slider, maybe a couple of mill from the bottom (similar to kit's picture)
outer on the middle hole of the hub
no rear toe in as per kit
Single washer under front brace for anti squat as per kit.
Shocks mounted middle holes top and bottom


Drivetrain:
Standard kit all round (not sanded down the rubbery diff things etc, not running one way). Standard spur with (I think) 17t pinion, running LRP sintered (13.something mill, 5.5 equivalent?), LRP touring Sphere ESC.

Using the KO low profile servo.


Any help much appreciated guys (already some good pointers on here), I can do as many changes as I like before I next run, as I am making a chassis change anyway!

One other question, build question really, is anyone else having to file down the rear gearbox cases to mount the rear shock tower? I have the round off the square shape of the casing where the bottom of the tower goes?

Dave,

Try my setup from Oz on the previous page, i've run it like that for the last few weeks on wet slippy astro, dry grippy bumpy astro, and grass and its been ace. I've only just had to change very small things.

There is a hole drilled on top of the hub that you can use to go short on the hub. I found this gave much sharper turn in and didn't "hang on" so long coming out the turn.

55 piston in the back may not have enough pack, i'm running 2 drilled at 56 and 1 at 55 with 35 wt oil.

Also you may be a little undergeared, i was running 21/84 on sunday with a 5.5 14mm sintered. Remember it has the same internal gear ratio as a B44/BJ4 (2.5:1) so you can alway see what those guys are running on any particular track to get an idea.

hope that helps
