Basic setups for Kyosho MP10 TKI3

After many requests, here are the setups I advise for different types of tracks.

With a minimum of option parts, you can set up your buggy to suit you in all conditions!

I'm well aware that we don't all have the same expectations of our cars, depending on our individual driving styles. But I think that if you start with these basics for different types of track, and adapt it to your hand, you'll be able to take full advantage of your favorite Kyosho buggy performance!

So it's not necessarily the settings I'd use 100%, but it's really basics that can suit everyone.

The go-to setup

These settings can be used as a base for all tracks.

Slippery tracks setup

In these conditions, we try to make the car more stable at the rear, without sacrificing steering. There's nothing more frustrating for a driver than having to "wait" for the car to turn in. 

Modifying the positions of camber links, shock absorber springs and anti-roll bars can have a very positive impact.

High grip tracks setup

When grip is high, or on a full-synthetic track, we'll be looking for settings that make the car very forgiving.

Increasing the diameter of the anti-roll bars can have a beneficial effect, but be careful not to go to extremes with a very precise, unforgiving "karting"-type car.

When the car starts to roll, you have time to check and adjust if necessary. A car that doesn't roll won't "warn" the driver and go immediately upside-down.

Bumpy tracks setup

Again, an easy car will allow you to complete a series of laps without suffering and with fewer driving errors! You'll need to find the right balance between easy to drive car and an efficient one.

The use of 5-hole shock absorber pistons (1.4mm at the front and 1.5mm at the rear) can have a beneficial effect on comfort, but I don't use them, as they often make the car "lazy" and slow.
