Usually a buggy, TCs don't tend to soak bumps and don't jump very well...

I know it's for the RB5... Just kidding...

There are a few of roger's setups in the RB5 setup area, you can start from there.

I rarely change anything dramatic from the general set-up posted in the RB5 set-up and most people I know with the cars have adopted that as the starting point.

Just lately I have started to run with the front camber link out on the hub but that is about the only real change to the "base" set-up, I then just tune from there as the conditions dictate (normally only needs a change to the inboard link heights front and rear and the occassional change of wheel base)

Running a Novak 6.5L motor 23/76 at the moment rather than the LRP.

Remember that is for proper cells though, car weighs around 1640g all in.

Sharpys set up from the F2's at eastrax is in the setup section and is always a good starting point.

As Bizzle me snizzle Mo Fo as said you could try my set up posted on here G.

Went Southport for the first time at the weekend, started the day with it set to how I had it running on grass the previous week. Throughout the day I tried different bits and bobs and by the end of it I was back to my Eastrax set up and the car felt good.

A few differences from what is posted- 35wt in front, Rear links, inner 0mm, outer 2mm. Ride height, bones more level rather than quite a bit below.

The main difference now is weight and weight distribution with running Lipo. This is something i've played about with quite a bit recently and at the mo I have 35g in front, lipo forward, 50g in between lipo & rear bulkhead.

If you try it please let me know your thoughts.
