How much did you pay for the setbacks? I see some loony is asking $300 for a pair on ebay, he must be stupid....

I know what you mean . He bought it for $260 thinking that he can sell it for more than what he paid for it. I bought mine for $160 shipped. It's like new and in fact I just bought my third pair.

Anyway, I just came back from the track a few hours to test the truck with the setbacks. The front end stays on the ground now and wheelies are now almost gone unless I stab the throttle really, really quick. The power of the 1515 1Y goes to the ground more than ever before. I did find out that the 8mm cvds rub against the shock spring retainer so I decided to relocate the shock to the inside.

hey lito, on the spring relocation, do you think it would still hit if it were the 6mm cvd- maybe go to 6mm if it doesn't hit the shocks, since your week point is definitely not the cvd- i've seen a lot of tranny shafts snap with the brushless power lately...

also the setbacks look like they fit nice without any need to shim. have you tried this setup on your other trucks to see if the shocks will fit inside the arms with 8mm cvd's on different bulks? what's your wheelbase now with the setbacks? sorry so many questions, just gotta love your setup...
