Here is an awesome setup guide for buggy and truggy. Very useful when trying to solve a handling problem.

Its published by Xray but the principles apply to any buggy of truggy.

And I 100% agree with backfire. Without the right tires, you are just chasing your tail. Tires are the first and most importenat piece of any track setup.

Sweet, thanks for the link

Well did some changes. I adjusted the front height to 27mm (was around 22mm) and set camber to -1, rear set to 28mm and camber -1.5. Ride Height must of changed due to weight battery tray/battery etc. I also moved the rear camber link to 4.

It looked like raining so i decided just to take it for a quick rain out on the street. Went to took off and straight back on the rear wheels scrapping the wing. So I changed the rear camber link back to 1 and it still did it so I put 35wt oil in the rear shocks and it still does it. The front end really lifts up when I accelerate. Should I lower the front ride height?

Are you looking for a setup for the street, or for the track? They are going to be two completely different approaches because the level of traction is so different between the road and a dirt track. The weight transfer causing wheelies in a high grip situation on the road should help plant the rear when accelerating on dirt. I doubt you will have wheelie problems on the dirt track.

An ideal setup on a high grip road will be low ride height with limited down travel, heavy dampening and springs in the shock package, and thicker swaybars. Unfortunately, a setup like this would slide around on a dirt track like it was ice.
