Anyone have any setup tips for a nitro rustler on a dirt oval? I have ordered RPM a-arms for it and Proline Speed Paw tires. What else will I need? Any tips or suggestions is appreciated.

Depending on driving preference 10 to 20 weight thicker on the right side of the truck and stiffer springs, Change the camber 2 to 3 degrees so when your going thru the corner the wheels are actually 0 degrees camber, and when your getting on the gas the wheels will be at 0 degrees also. I run similar set up on my GT2 and it loves the oval.:thumbs:

Thanks for the tips. That should make for a good starting point and then I'll just fine tune from there.:D

Well I have run my first race with it and I can see it needs a lot of fine tuning. I put a set of Panther Switch 2.0 tires on it and added the 2 - 3 degrees of camber but it definitely still needs something. I'm gonna try changing the shock oil in it and where can I get some stiffer springs for it at? I can't find any right off that are made for it. :confused:

Changing oil will help and while you have the shock apaprt you might try changing the piston on the shock rod. you can also try using another manafacturers shocks like say associated, or integy.
