I've been tweaking on my .5 for about 3 weeks now. I've settled in at 2/3/1 on the diff. fluids and my med. spring set is on the way(way too soft in the rear w/grey springs). The only thing on your proposed set-up that looks suspect to me is the front shock settings. With the added rate of the med. springs and the 60wt. oil I would anticipate too much "pack" in the shock opperation with one hole pistons. I do think the one hole piston/60wt oil combination would probably work well with the soft springs but imo the two hole pistons would be a better choice with the med. springs up front.

Although the mamba 5700 I'm running is a bit low on torque, I have'nt played with my mm settings yet. Probably won't until I get the extended chassis from Mike and have the truck tires mounted up, pinion dropped a tooth, and diff fluids increased a bit(probably 3/5/2). I'm currently geared 14/46 and have plenty of top end. I would'nt mind running a L motor but I don't want to go to 3s, or gear up too far to accomidate a lower kv. I like running 13 or lower on the pinion because it allows pinion instalation with the motor out of the mount. Besides, I would need a 5L to keep runnin' what I have.

Good luck with your adjustment; Let us know how it goes..........
