they do look very cool indeed!

maybe even more so because you get to run cool tires in the US, cars look way better with Proline tires on them

also - I would run silver springs up front and maybe pink on the rear on the atomized B44, at least as a starting point on dirt.

Chris, the suspension that is on the car came off of my s4. I did not change anything. I am still tryin different setups. My home track is a outdoor dirt track that is fairly rough. I was thinking to try the silver and pink but what pistons/oil would you recomend? I do agree on the tires as well. proline/panther/losi tires do give the cars a look unlike the spikes you guys use. But hey, if the spikes are what work for your tracks then you cant tell what kind of tire is on the car when they are rotating so fast on the track.

rough track - definately blue pistsons on the rear, 30wt oil, if there are big jump to land, maybe orange piston with 27.5 wt oil

front, red piston and 35wt oil or if you want a bit more from the front, orange piston and 40wt, if you want ever more, orange piston and 35wt

always inside hole on the front arm for the front shocks, middle on the front tower.

always inside hole on the rear arm for the rear shock, 2nd hole out on the rear tower as a start

silver springs up front, pink the the rear, if you want a touch more rear end yellow might help.

I can't give you the geometrics like I'm sure Elvo will, but, basically it keeps the car in the turn longer, I find on medium to high grip the car straightens up too quickly when you get on the power, so I run the shocks like this almost all the time, I also ru nthe front shocks on the inside hole on the tower aswell.

EDIT: I don't run my shocks on the back of the tower, I really must pay more attention

Thomas: I can't beleive I didn't notice the shocks were actually on the back of the tower, I don't run my shocks like that at all. I thought you meant the mounting holes.
