Any avid racers able to share their set-up sheets with me? I am in the final stages of my 1.5R buggy build and want to know 'what works'.

The tracks I run on up here are sorta' loamy but the line is high bite. The jumps tend to be large, and there is almost always 'whoops' it seems.

Anyway, I was thinking...

- Blue springs on all 4 feet
- 45 up front / 40 in the rear
- 5/7/2 in the diffs

Any set-ups with proven results would be appreciated!!!

Thanks fellas! ?&^

Peasey's setup has a really low roll center so if your track is loamy you may want to raise the rear roll center to give you more rear traction.

Yep....upper arm all the way up at the tower.


I run the center all the way in at the tower.
