just wanted some advice on what you guys prefer for street bashing and racing.I've tried what the manual suggested,moved out the shocks to the furthest whole on the front and added a 4mm clip and moved out the rear a couple of wholes,rear has the biggest clip,i also added 45 weight all 4 corners.This set-up seems pretty good but do you guys think it would be best to decrease the ride height even though the suspension would soften up vs keeping higher but stiffer?

If all you are looking for is onroad speed you want it as low as possible. Try no clips and maybe get some red springs for the ultra shock to stiffen the suspension. You could also go to thicker oil in the shocks. To go even stiffer you could go to a one hole piston in the shock.
Mine is set at the outer hole front and rear. Stock clip in rear with none up front. One hole piston all around. 40 weight oil up front and 50 in the rear. That seems to be a good all around set up for me.

I moved the shocks postion to the outter holes on the front and 1 in on the rear a-arms. 40wt oil in front shocks , 50wt oil in rear . stock pistons in shocks, added the thick clips to the rear in addition to the stock ones and the 2nd thickest ones to the front . and added alot more camber to all wheels also |

I do have a mamba max but have my drag set at 20% then turn it down to zero when running on very short soccer park grass which is a blast.i'll try 30 for the street though to see how it responds. |
