Hi all here is my set-up hope you smoke someone with it.
Front shocks: 30 wt oil, Gray springs no preload
Mounted top: upper center hole
Bottom: outer hole
Caster position: full forward
Rear shocks: 35 wt oil, blue springs 1/4 inch preload
Mounted Top: bottom inside hole
Bottom: outer hole
Diffs: Front 5000, Center 10000, Rear 1000
Front camber: Upper ball Blue spacer, Lower ball Black spacer
Rear camber: 2 degrees positive
Front toe: Positive 2 degrees
Rear toe: positive 3 degrees
Droop Front: set the front screw to just touch the chassis and add 1/4 turn
To set the Rear Droop set your chassis on something that will hold it level and allow your tires to hang. Then set your rear doop to allow the rear tires to hang 1/4 inch lower than the front tires.
BE SURE TO MEASURE DROOP ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND THAT IT IS THE SAME LEFT TO RIGHT.
Rear roll center: bottom center hole
Ackerman: center hole
I drive a high bite track that will blue groove through the day. It is very rough and very tight. As far as jumps it varies from 4inch bumps to a 4 foot jump in the middle of the srtaight that you hit very fast. I run Pro Line Crime Fighters during qualifing and Hole Shots during the Main. My engine is the V2.21 and I use the 7.5mm insert. This insert really makes the engine explode out of the corners with out losing top end. My clutch bell is 13 tooth and I run stock shoes.
Where did you get the spacers from ?

The spacers for front camber come with the pro buggy. You can also get them form Sportwerks or Horizion hobbies. That goes for the different springs, sway bars and most any other hop up for the Turmoil. Also watch E-bay.
Good luck.
I plan to race round 4 of the Ga pro series. That track is going to be different than what I am used to so Expect another setup to be posted for that track. I will include track conditions.

Hey,

Has anyone else had a problem with the turnbuckles popping off the Turmoil Pro after a hard landing? My Kyosho has a screw+bolt combo keeping it on but I'm unsure what size is needed.

Thanks

all white, thats gonna get dirty quick. i fudged my body, got brake cleaner on it gonna have to get me another.

i also just ran my buggy with a dynamite HT pipe and it has a lot of giddy up. only running at 205-210 right now so when i get the temps up to about 250 it should scream. especially now that i am about to install some nova aluminum adjustable shoes on it
