Medium-High Bite Track

My setup is not very far from the
recommended setup you and Adrian use.

Front End:

  • 10 deg blocks

  • .020" springs shimmed with 1 washer preload (no slop)

  • 2 deg camber

  • 1 deg toe-out each side

  • upper arm in middle position

  • Servo flat

  • Kimbrough white servo saver with CEFX ball-studs in lower holes

  • high ball-studs on steering knuckles to make steering links pretty
    much flat (they are a touch higher at the knuckles)

  • BMI front arm shims

Center Shock/Side Suspension:

  • long length (I moved the antenna mount forward a hole to make the
    shock longer. If you do this you need to put a longer ball-cup on the
    bottom end.).

  • 35 wt AE, gold spring

  • I don't remember the length but I have 1.5mm of droop (so if I lift
    the car at the center and measure ride height, it reads 5mm)

  • stock ball-stud

  • 5000 wt Mugen diff lube for side dampers

    • .175 flex plates

Width:

  • Front: stock width (no extra shims behind front tires)

  • Rear: 172 mm

Motor:

  • Novak 5.5 w/sintered rotor

  • 1.30" roll-out (with 96 tooth spur)

Other:

  • Front tires: Double-pink, 1.64", 1/2 Paragon

  • Rear tires: Pink, 1.71", full Paragon

  • 3.5mm ride height - pretty much flat front, mid, and rear

  • My turning diameter when checking circles is a little less than 4
    feet. Car has very good off-power and on-power steering. Corner speed
    is excellent.

  • battery in middle position

  • Parma speed8 body and lowered as much as possible (I had to do some
    modification to the brushless motor so the body could sit lower).
    Front body posts: 2nd hole from bottom. Rear body posts: 3rd hole from
    bottom.

  • track was medium/high bite with sweepers at each end, and a fairly
    tight but flowing infield.
