The unique, high-grip, high-speed and bumpy track conditions of rc addict led to a few set-up adjustments to better cope with these conditions! Optional, long hard lower arms helped for consistency in the high temps, and the upper link arms were once again the choice for the top of the suspension. Most of out modified team guys ended up on the optional steel 1.2mm chassis (301028), however, the aluminium 1.5mm chassis suited my driving style better this time around, as it provided a bit more mechanical grip.

A fairly hard diff oil was used, as well as a soft linear front spring, paired with a soft anti-roll bar, to make the car less sensitive/less direct, which allowed me to push harder in the fast sections of the track.

Once again, optional PSS shock inserts were used on the front axle only, to improve consistency and high-speed handling. Part number 308129.

Optional -1mm upper clamps were used to free up the car, and to make it less edgy on the high grip conditions. Part number 301557.

Less rear toe, together with less steering lock, helped to reduce tire overheating, and high-speed steering as well.

My Hobbywing Technology ESC & motor combo ran faultless as usual in the demanding conditions. I did de-tune my power as well as my drag brakes quite a bit to improve drivability on this tricky track.

The new Team EAM, Inc battery pack was pure rocket fuel, which forced me to reduce power in my ESC settings once again, yet with exceptional runtime - which meant that I didn't have to worry about running out of battery at the end of the run.
