I used the no.4 inserts in the steering blocks.
The brass off set caster bushes with the thick ones at the bottom.
I also change the front tyres quite regularly.
30 degree brass associated bulk head.
0 degree caster inserts.
red springs on the shocks.
32.5wt associated oil.
3 x 1.4mm hole tapered pistons.


Worked for me

It's a great car, but I have found that you kinda need to find a set up that suits your driving style and stick with it regardless of track.

The only things I change now are the springs when I go to different tracks. Harder springs if the track is smooth. softer springs if it;s bumpy.

Same thing on the rear end except.....
4x1.4mm hole tapered pistons. 30wt associated shock oil.
I use the black rear springs if it's bumpy and uneven. green if it's a smooth track and yellow if it's indoor.

Do you use the blue FT hinge pin braces?
3+2 inserts seem to work for me.
I also use the +2mm side on the rear ball stud mount and have a 2mm shim to stop the rear end of the car rotating too much in mid to end corner or under slow sharp turning.

10k oil in the diff (if it's a gear diff) works a treat!

That's all just my opinion though....I'm sure other will have theirs lol
