Just got back from the 19th Annual Winter Midwest Champs at CRCRC in Columbus, OH. I had alot of issues with the hinge pin brace and the front tower brace snapping, but all of those problems will be solved shortly.

As far as setup goes, I was able to test alot of different things.

The track we were running on was a low bite loose track ( a good groove, just not alot of traction). We ran full pin Pink Taper pins front and rear, stock foams.

Right off the bat with the stock setup the car pushed alot, traction wise it was ok ( forward ) but just no steering. After several battery packs, I ended up going to this

FRONT: Kyosho #2 pistons ( stock ), Losi 30wt oil, Losi dark Green front buggy springs, 1-C camber link ( farthest outside whole on the tower block ). -1 camber, 0 toe in. Shock inside on the A-arm, middle whole on the tower. Front one-way.

REAR: Kyosho # #2-b? ( stock) ( I don't have my manual on me, the stock rear pistons ) pistons, AE 35wt oil, Losi Pink rear buggy spring, Stock camber link on the tower block, middle on the Hub, Hubs forward, Shock on the inside on the A-arm, second whole down from the top on the tower. Battery in the rear, Front One Way, ride height set at bones level.

This made the car feel very stable, and at the same time having plenty of steering. My laps were right there with Robbers, Maifield, Cavalieri, Hodapp ect.. ( Robbers had the fastest of a 17.3, my fastest was a 17.8 ) so in other words the car is right there in the way of being competitive.

Tres can vouche (sp), he was there and liked how the car handled. If you or any one have any questions please feel free to post here, or e-mail me at benellis34@hotmail.com
