I found the longest front link camber worked well inside on more sweeping tracks, as it stopped the car 'snapping' off power mid corner. I only ever ran the saddle pack car, which I think is a lot better really with the newer heavier lipos, as it means more weight is further forward, so much less ballast is needed (i.e. an overall lighter car).

Running the rear shocks further out on the rear arm, and 2nd hole out on the tower really transformed the car for me, along with losi red/ae blue rear springs. I would advise running the rear e-speed camber links up, and letting the grip come up on dustier carpet/slippy floor mixed tracks. On more slippy floor you might want the e-speed hangers down (e.g. Worksop).

Adjusting the amount of weight behind the servo in 15g increments until you get a nice balance of agility and consistency from the car.

Make sure you are running the e-speed hangers and 'c' hole on the rear hub, the car is a dog on high grip without it. - Mark Williamson
