Looking for set-up suggestions for running high speeds. - 04.19.2012, 05:51 PM

I just finished a build to try my hand at some speed runs and I need some vehicle set-up suggestions. I'm using a lowered Stampede 4x4 as a base with a CC MMM and 2650 motor. The current gearing is 23/50. The set-up as it sits now is, Revo shocks w/ Slayer springs, Rustler body, and Jaco Foam tires, thats about it.

I'm looking for suggestions on how soft or stiff I want the suspention, throttle curves, etc. Thanks for any help!

Make it heavy, low and stiff. Longer will also help straight-line stability. Punch control(up to 100%) will make launches easier to keep in check. High timing will also contribute to speed.

Sway bars would do a world of difference as well. It would reduce the body roll and make high speed turning a lot easier.
