- Team Associated RC10L/L2 - Starting Setup -

Mathijs Hermens

- Green compound tires all around. Apply traction compound full at the rear, inside half at the front, and let that sit for at least ten minutes.

- Battery at the rear location

- Ride height at least 4mm.

- 30wt shock oil in the center shock, black spring, preload adjusted so that T-bar is parallel to the chassis.

- Use the dynamic strut front suspension (not the old "chunk of nylon" type). Set camber to -1 degrees, set caster to the middle position. Use angled arm mounts. Set toe to neutral: both front wheels parallel to each other.

- Set the damper discs for the least amount of pressure.

- Make sure the bottom of the chassis is level with the under most part of the body, if possible put the front off the body 1mm lower than the main chassis. Look at the clearance for the tires in the body. Don't let them rub the body, even if the suspension is compressed somewhat.

This is just the starting setup, adjust your car one step at a time, so you can keep track of what change does what.
