Me disagreeing with it's "necessity" (as always) is "conspiracy" and on top of that is also accusatory that you don't know what you're talking about? 
Man, you've got to lighten up more than I do.
(for the record since quoting fails on this forum, I did not say he was 'false' in his opinion... (That was directed towards someone else) I only said "ohhh boy" to stirring up cobwebs.)

---------------
Kinwald's setup is going to help me buckle down my own setup when I drag my feet back to PRCR for sure. Rain is the only reason I go to that miserable cramped hole. (It's not the track's fault, it's oregon weather and my preference for being outside.)
But seeing BK drive that track gives me a little itch to see some indoor action. Good thing I've got all summer to work on my truck for fall since my Slash 4x4 is just as fast as the losi's now.

[QUOTE=BorackBasher;10968227]check out kinwalds set up on
From what I have seen in my brief RC addiction there is a lot of setup sheets that people try to emulate and wonder why the car is not dialed in like they would like. I myself am guilty of this not knowing too much about the RC world and decided to constantly look for the best "setup sheet".
From what I have been told and witnessed is there are so many variances that truly are to your own preference. I have been doing a lot of shadowing of a few drivers, some pro and some definitely good enough to be pro. I have seen two drivers, both from associated, drive completely different sc10 4x4 setups vs almost exactly the same RC8 setups.
I realize what I am stating is old news to most of you on this thread but I am also sure there are a lot who peruse through this thread that are relatively new like me and want the "perfect setup". There isn't a magic bullet and I have realized the only way to figure it out is to do it yourself (with a little help from WC and Mantis, thanks guys)
I guess the best thing is to start with a proven base setup (RCSHOX forum page) and go from there but do not expect to emulate anyone's setup sheet and expect the truck to do what you want it to do. Slight changes in ones style completely affects the way the truck needs to be set up.
I am still a newb, and have taken a lot from this fantastic forum and hope to spread the shortcuts of actually enjoying this SC10 4x4 as I also see a lot give up on it to get the "easier" truck. The fact of so much needed tuning is what actually attracted me to this truck as that is true racing.

Re: Setups
As a new guy, what you're looking for probably isn't what you want. I used to always look for as much steering as possible. The more the merrier. In my quest for more steering, I would eventually make the car/truck too tail happy and swing back too far in the opposite direction (as far as tuning goes).
My advice. If your setup sucks, GREAT! Now you can make changes, one at a time, to get a feel for how they change the dynamic of the car. Most important thing is to change one thing at a time to know if you're heading in the right direction with your changes or not.

Feeling good about only recommending Ae driver set-ups .
Anyone can trust Ae Factory drivers knowing far more than just
some guy on the internet ...

I agree however the "some guy on the internet" really depends on WHO that person is you are talking about.
And to add, some of those "some guy on the internet" types have put out fixes for issues that AE and other companies address with VERY similar products many months down the road.
Looks like this weekend I will get a change to try out my RC Shox center diff and pistons, wish me luck!

I'll take a guy that offers advice who regularly races anyday.
I'd love to see a race, wild cherry vs coyote where cherry gives CS a two lap lead from the start AND still wins by a sizeable margin..

Man that is steep for price. Although I realize the money put into the truck is worth the money that you are asking but its a long shot to get that kind of cash for the truck.
It's always more valuable to the owner and I could see a price of $550 and it would still take a while to sell it.
Should just keep it unless you are realistically ready to take a large loss. Nice rig though man, looks great. Good Luck

The track is a relatively large (1/8 style) track, outdoor, smooth, low traction, dusty.

use the set-up come closest to your track conditions

suggest checking all the Ae driver set-ups on www.rc10.com
use the set-up come closest to your track conditions

Specifically, it is a relatively large (1/8 style) outdoor track. It is smooth (hard-packed dirt), low traction, dusty.
Thanks in advance.
