35wt oil in front with blue springs, 30wt in back with black springs. #2 shock pistons, j concepts barcodes all around (tires)
That's all I got.

What kind of track are you running? Pavement, loose dirt, clay?

Tires tires tires tires tires.

Tires are everything.

M3 calibers out back, M3 Edges up front, add 1 degree of anti squat, do the shocks up like meef said isn't a bad starting point, but just putting 35wt oil in the shocks will be better than nothing...are you racing at Cecil's in Sharonville?

If you haven't yet, you'll want to go up in size on the pinion...the T4.1 Brushlesses seem to like a 21-22 tooth pinion, but if you're still new to racing leave the stock gears if you haven't already changed em.

Once in a great while. Once CCRCR opens up that's going to be occupying a lot of time. But that's a couple months away...never been a huge fan of indoor racing.

Battery strap isn't really necessary, but it's nice. TBH aside from tires, springs/oil, and a little tuning, the truck is pretty much good out of the box.

Ballcups...that's about it. Get the RPM ballcups and you'll be good to go.

It'll run well and be plenty fast and fun right out of the box but the servo is pretty slow and the stock tires aren't good.

That's pretty much how it is with all RTRs.
