Shock oil, 37.5 front, 32.5 rear, zero rebound.
Kyosho light blue springs. Or light blue spring in the front and orange kyosho spring in the back.
Diff oils, 5,5,3 or 2. Experiment.
I'm also running GHEA C and D plates and rear aluminium hubs.Gives the rear end increased traction.
Let me know if this helps!
I've been testing this car for 1 year.And i can say its brilliant. With the wing upgrade its glides through the air very smoothly.
Also run a 18t pinion. If your running a 2100kv or below.

that is pretty much my setup as it is. i how ever did have the rear to high and the rear was just to twitchy on the day and forgot to lower it. as in the votrex wing... i am not running that just yet. the wing will not help me in the air with it wanting to tun to the side so this is more of a weight distribution problem with the lipos on the one side and the motor and rx box on the other. (left and right hand side weight is all off)

Just walk straight into the workshop area and offer a few quid to the 1st spotty youth you see, they usually just let you take as many as you want.
With the increased space you have on a 1/8th i'd imagine you can probably add 50-100 grams to the side that's lifting when the car is airborne.
Have any other 1/8th electric racers done this?

cheers Alex.
i will look into that.
