So E, are you preferring Losi pistons in the V2's rather than the Ghea ones?

Not really had a chance to test them back to back. I was having a little trouble sorting the springs to how I wanted them so decided to go to pistons I knew to sort them out.

Once I get outdoors again I'll test them back to back.

Pretty sure they will be just as good and each will have there own advantage disadvantage.

All I do know is they are both better than the stock AE pistons!

Hello Ellis

Do you still use the plastic saddle chassis on the carpet ?

Thanks

Hi Ellis

i saw 3 or 4 for antisquat on some of your set up. Is it in mm, number of shim (0.030?) or degree ?

Thanks

Arthur

That's the amount of squat in degree's.

With the squared to achieve 4° squat you run with no spacers under the block.

So you always put no shim even on wood parts with the petitrc race setup ?

Thank you for your fast response.

Hi,

For Taplow I need some help on the inserts to use. I use schumacher minipins in yellow front and rear and would appreciate some advice on what inserts work best there. Thanks

@Arthur: No more shims for the slippy no!

@Arvi: I run Answer RC Donutz using the soft (blue) rear foam and the Hard (grey) front foam.
