looks good Thomas,

one thing I noticed, steering ball go on top of the steering arms, only the drag-link goes under.

have a look at the other S4 steering setups.

Thomas: Make sure you have 2-3 mm of spacer under the ball stud on the steering arm/wheel hub otherwise you will get a lot of bump steer.

Are you the Thomas I was talking to at the Euros?

If you'd bought your S4 before the Euros I'd have come and found you, as I spent a week in Stockholm on the way back from Finland. What a really nice place

FINALY!!!!... What a car...to bad the weather was bad,and a some serious water-spots on the track (astro turf). i was borrow the "Coventry-Setup" and did find that the ear was to "Springy", so i wet from Red down to Pink, and it went a lot beter, but long from perfect, this was my first packs...the steering is AWSOME!!!, the rear grip was..ok, but not more (haveto work with the setup) water combine with astroturf and used Bigshots arnt the bst, but on the dry parts, it was Good, can be better, it WILL be better...one of te best buy i have did...wil reebuild my reardiff since it was slippering...

However, this is the car to use in the future, it was more easy around corners , i think i have to get up in rear oil to 35 insted of 30,

Hey Thomas

Glad you like the car.

We use Losi 30wt oil and are finding that on tracks with jumps and good grip we are using orange pistons in the rear and black pistons with 35 wt oil in the front.

We use Ballistic Buggy tyres at Coventry which are smaller and lighter than big shots. You will probably need a little more damping than we would.

Also try 3mm of spacers under the rear inner ball stud, this will stop the rear of the car rolling as much in the mid corner.
