Default car setup

I take it its a readyto run

no problem 5k front 7k centre 3k back works well. You should also take a look at your shocks when i had one i drilled the pistions with 1.5mm drill just one hole and ran 30-35wt oil, id use cml fastrax if you go to other makes including associated losi ultimate the oil numbers are a liitle out so you will need to compensate

also run longest link on the back camber position, ie furthest out on the hub and furthest in and down on the tower. This works best in most cases, however if you plan on running in dirt say slough or somewhere you may need to adjust the rear hub position one in to allow the car to rotate more in the bends. ride height start with flat wishbones or if you can measure it cml centro do a nice ride height gauge 25-27mm flat or may be higher at the back.

Roll bars are critical dont over tighten them especially when running on dirt run them 1/2 to a full turn back off grub screw pinch.. You aint going to grip roll on loose dirt

car length, long car adjusted from the back gives more front initial steer response. shorter wheel base gives better tracktion and mid corner steering. use this to adjust balance, along with ride height and droop settings....
