We typically run pink slicks, the
track is 1 week old so we didn’t use slicks on Wednesday night,
but below is the setup derived by Matt Chambers and works really
well for me. His differences – no alum bulkhead, spindles down, 3
ball stud washers on the rear hubs, and i think his ride height is
24/23 (i think), and I’m sure his esc doesn’t have as much drag
brake. Our track is Small and tight, usually there are more than one
180 deg corners, high 13 to low 14 second laptimes in mod 2wd, 25-26
laps in 6 minutes. Like Jim said tho, I'll usually go a bit thicker
once the bite gets crazy, which it will at some point, but tires
> shocks > camber links is the order of importance at any
track IMO. If you're going to try it, make sure your shock bottoms
are new/in good shape so they don't get yanked out (from my recent
experience)... This works for me here, it may or may not work
