Well I think the less grip your tyre's have the , the softer your springs should be , as in if you have ABS , don't be running super hard springs , cos u'll just slip and slide and wont have controlled drifts....just a personal preferance .

Chassis: Yokomo DP Plus - Mr4tc(i think :roll: )
Tyres: Yoko Single wide rings
Springs: Silver springs incl. in package - soft/medium
Oil weight: 30wt - as incl. in package

:wink:

I read it somewhere either on that threat or another one on Grooveydrift.com

Soft springs Front - Soft too medium back ...  40w shock oil all round ....

Allso run  the front of the chassis higher then the back like 6mm front an 4mm back.....

Toe in on wheels differs from type of tire used ... Like yokomo single ring would have more toe in due too the rubber being on the inside of the rim etc....

but it's all down to your own personal preferance . It is good though to properly try out settings and tune your chassis properly though

No point in starting with totally wrong setting
always good to have a base point to start with / revert to if it goes wrong ;)
