I just got back from the ROAR Off-Road Electric Nats yesterday and wanted to post the set-up I ran. This is basically the same set-up I ran at SoCal and Pegasus. The only change I made to my car while I was there was running a 1 step stiffer spring on the front. For me, ride height was the best tuning for this track.

Front:

3-B Pistons drilled out to 56
35wt Losi Oil
Dark Yellow Front Springs
No Limiters in shocks with shock ends unthreaded 4 turns
30 degree kick-up
Middle location on tower and outside location on arm
2-B Camberlink with 1 mm washer under the ball stud
Spindles in upper position
1/4oz of weight under steering rack (fits great)

Rear:

3-B Pistons drilled out to 56
30wt Losi Oil
Dark Yellow Rear Springs
No Limiters in shocks with shock ends unthreaded 2 turns
Middle location on tower and inside location on arm
2-B Camberlink with 1mm washer under ballstud on shock tower brace and 2mm washer under ball stud on hub
Hubs in middle position
1/2oz of weight under rear tower

Extra Info:

Battery Position - Forward
Ride Height - 23mm Front / 21mm Rear (at Nationals because of very hi-bite)
Ride Height - 25mm Front / 24mm Rear (SoCal and Pegasus)
Pro-Line Cavalieri Edition Small Wing
