I recently ran my new GV2 last
weekend at the Indoor Missouri State Champs at Chillicothe Missouri
and came up with this setup.
The car was very stable, cornered
well and jumped well. I cornered this setup to late and had to
settle with the b main win, but my time in the B-main was top three
in all three A-mains so it works. Well at least it works for me, but
here it is anyways.

Car was super smooth and very easy to
drive relaxed yet fast. This will be my starting setup now and
adjust from there. An AE driver drove it after the race and stated
that it worked better than his car in many parts of the track,
another AE driver said it had more steering than his car and that he
would turn that down, but liked the way it felt, and a Kyosho driver
drove it and said he was driving it with low expectations, but after
driving it was very surprised and thought it worked very well (all
three of those drivers were in the show). My setup is different than
Dave Alberico, but he runs nimh and brushed motors so the weight is
different. See how you like it.
