Hi Guys,

When I posted the information as linked in the thread above, I was referring to the set up of my car on grass/worn grass.

When running on this sort of low grip surface it appears the car prefers to be weighted back up, when running on grass we weight the car at about 1800g.

This setting is pretty good everywhere but as posted in other threads in this section, when running on high grip tracks such as astro-turf, it is sometimes worthwhile trying the car a bit lighter and a little softer shock wise at the rear. On high grip tracks we tend to run at about 1715g, which is its base weight with Reedy 4200 lipo fitted and no added lead. We then come down in spring rates at the back to a yokomo green or pink spring- this seems more effective on high bite bumpy surfaces.

Hope this helps.
