Loads here; scroll down past tips etc to AstroTurf section. Check columns for surface (carpet/Astro) and weather to find one most suitable for you.

Brilliant thanks.
1 silly question.

Camber.
Set at ride height or chassis on the deck.
I used to set my 1/5th cars up fully depressed. Cant remember why but was told to do it tgat way by far more experienced racer.

But how should i do it with 10th buggy. I assume at ride height.

Thanks.

[andrewc]

I've always done it at ride height

[markwilliamson2001]

Yup ride height dude. Don't know why you would ever do it compressed as this would incorporate any camber change...!

[tonydevon]

Lol. No idea but years back thats how i was shown and it meant i could replicate his setup by doing it same way.

Bonus is i have the brass front hinge weight thing with this car.

Will hopefully be running it this weekend.
Car looks so good.
