Copied this from the Truggy forum where its a Sticky, great idea maybe we
can get this going here and the Mods will sticky it

Ok Lets hope this thread works and for once put an end to all the most commonly asked questions about what setup, what diffs, what servos. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of specs but thats all I can think of right now so feel free to add a spec or two in your data.
Let me start it off:
Here's the blank template you can copy n' paste this with your info in it:

Gonna bump this and add weight to the list. Please just leave it blank if you don't
have a scale so we don't end up with a bunch of guesses. True track ready weights please.

Gonna have to PM Foxy to see if he will sticky it for us.
