New to 1/8 scale buggys. need setup help.
#1
So I know this is a base level buggy and will never be very competitive but i did my first race at leasure hours last weekend and I want to be more competitive in the C main. I have a GS storm RTR with the panther komoto 2 med/soft tires now. I know problably 90% of it is driving but i want to make sure im getting all i can out of my buggy.

So i have no sway bars stock springs with 40 wieght oil, stock rear toe (i have the option to make it 1.5 degrees of toe in) where should my rear camber be? front toe and camber is pretty random right now and i have to fix it so my steering range is even. i have my brakes setup so the rears lock up and the front are just touched with 100% brake position.


Does anyone have any suggestions for me? my fastest lap after a night practice plus raceday on the outdoor track at leisure hours is 38.330 and i placed 7th in the C main with 9 laps so i know i have plenty of room for improovement but im pretty happy with my progress so far.

any help or suggestions are appreciated.
thanks,
Joe
