Starting Setup

Here is a setup I have been running
lately, it changed from what I posted a while ago. Mainly I went
to Losi shock pistons and it made a huge difference. This feels
like it would work on a variety of tracks, but I haven't had a
chance to try yet.

Front:

Shocks inside tower-middle arm

Silver Associated springs

#56 Losi pistons

35 wt losi oil

0 limiting

Associated shock shafts

Camber link inside/top on tower - standard ballstud on carrier 0
washers

Carriers up (pin in bottom hole on carrier)

Carriers shimmed forward

0° toe

-1.5° camber

Diff set pretty loose

Ride height arms level

Shocks second hole from inside on
tower - inside/bottom arm

Green Associated springs

#55 Losi pistons

35wt losi oil

.138 limiting (associated shock shafts are longer 46.9mm)

Standard shock tower

Camber link middle hole on camber plate - middle hole on hub 2
.030 washers

1° hubs

Hubs forward

Arms back

0° anti-squat shims

3° rear pivot pointing up

-1.5° camber

Rear diff fairly loose

Ride height bones slightly above level

Trinity 10x1 Shock

16x84 gearing

center one way about 75 locked

belts set fairly loose where they occasionally skip.

CRCRC in Columbus Ohio. This is
an indoor track that is usually fairly smooth. The surface is a
clay/topsoil mix that is tamped very firm. Traction varies from
high bite, to medium bite, sometimes it gets dusty and loose
when it's too cold to water.

Pink Losi taper pins at all
times.

I did run the car at our big race
in Jan and I had to go up to blue AE springs in the front and
silver AE springs in the rear, and I ran a rear sway bar. At
that track we ran slick pink taper pins and there was TONS of
traction.
