Setup sheet in PDF

Front:

Blue spring, 30wt, black piston, 2mm limiters => tower #1, wishbone #2

Camber links 2-A, 2 washers*

*Wouter used 3 washers, Steven none, I used 2, adjust to your own liking

Rear:

Red spring, 25wt, black piston, 0mm limiters (AE rod ends, 1 turn unscrewed) => tower #2, wishbone #2
-2° camber, 1° anti-squat, camber links 2-B, 3 washers
Rudebits brass plate, 70gr lead under lipo (rear half of lipo slot filled with lead), 30gr extra lead around motor.
Long wheelbase
Wing: low and to the front

Gearing: 8,5T on 25/78 on new motor plate

Tyres: front Schumacher Stagger Rib, rear Schumacher Mini Spike Yellow, the team used Mr.O and KWF inserts, used Losi ones are good too (the softer inserts made the car easier to drive).

Black pistons indeed for landings, but they also make the car very stable while turning. Since the astro was new and very grippy, this helped a lot to stabilize the car.

AE rod ends indeed give more droop.

What do you mean with rear arms? Wheelbase was set to long.

Personally I also made a mod to the front hubs. I dremel off some material so I can mount them more forward. So in fact I have a wheelbase adjustment in the front. Making the wheelbase longer in the front results in less wheelie effect, keeps the front flatter, adds stability. In fact you are making wheelbase longer, and at the same time you get more weight % on the rear wheels. Like it a lot :-D

Losi is short compared to B4, and very short compared to X6, so a little more length doesn't hurt.
