I cut my under lipo weight in half and slapped the two together directly in the middle of the battery tray. Seems to work best for me!

Also i took the spacers out from the steering arms (wheel end) and seemed to get much tighter steering at low/mid speeds

I can only assume you don't know who Lee Martin is - He is the current European Champion and one of I think only 3 or 4 direct Tamiya factory drivers. I think you should at least look at his set ups - normally TRF and Tamiya sites would help and maybe if Lee ees this thread he might do to - he is just off to the World championships though and we wish him all the luck - go get them Lee

LIAM, you butcher!!

The caldicot track is a very small indoor venue so i doubt lee has a setup for that. Mind you, it would be similar to taplow i suppose.
Personally i would ask on his tamiya thread for help, Lee will be the best person to help you with the 201 for sure.

Alright Griff! Being hounded for my shell at the moment!

Set up the car as per manual spec and then make changes to suit you. After all you could set up the car to world class specs but if you aint got world class fingers then It may not help that much.

Your car, your fingers,your set up.
