Not really..

I'm just stiffening everything up a notch to compensate for the extra weight.
changing diff fluids from 5/7/2 to 7/10/5
changed shock fluids from 30 to 35 in rear and from 35 to 40 in front.
Thin sway bar in rear.. none in front.

It's notibly stiffer all around. The springs however, seem like they may be a good fit. If you ran on a smoother track you could go with one step heavier springs but mine is a bit rough so I think they'll work well actually.

It never handled poorly - I just wondered if anyone's found an optimum setup. I plan to be running the Proline BowFighter tires (bowties in the rear for forward grip, crimefighters in the front for high side bite).

I have a race on the 20th but I won't be able to test it on a track until then.

Anyone else have any input on setups? :)
