"The car was awesome, I qualified 6th in the A final - mainly due to the car being hard to drive during qualifying but getting better each round.. Anyway, got up to 2nd, got into first and my nerves went & I was shaking too much to drive so ended up second. The car was really good and easy to drive hard in the final - I still think the setup has a long way to go yet but it's gone really well so far and responds well to the changes we've made." Jimmy

Front

55 piston holes
camber/ long upper hole on the inside - inside on hub
wishbones spaced forward (three white spacers behind)
front shock ball cups unwound about 3 turns to give more droop
40wt oil in the front with kit orange springs

Rear

556 piston holes (two 55, one 56 - I think haha)
Losi red spring
30wt kit oil
Camber / middle on hub - long on tower, about 1mm above fouling on outdrives (I have old style rear tower with slots, not holes)
Shocks laid down on the inside hole on the rear tower, and a NEW hole drilled further in on the front tower.*
2 x 1.5mm washers under the front brace to give more antisquat.
cut down AE ball cup for more droop

 

Nortech Whities in the shocks all round - this made a HUGE difference!

6.5 bonded on 17/81 - front outside spikes cut off

Rest is as per kit settings.

*The inside hole on the standard tower still leaves the front shocks quite upright - the car felt very edgy and laying the shocks down was what I wanted to do all day. I only got the tower drilled just before the final so had a few laps after qualifying and it was a massive difference, all the other changes were good but laying the shocks down was the thing that helped the most and transformed the car.
