The racer asked
how do I set this up for Nor-Cal track?
Miles, So Dialed's RC setup AI
Nor-Cal’s name alone doesn’t tell me the surface or grip, so there isn’t one reliable track-specific setup. If you mean a low-grip clay layout, use these B7.1D settings as a starting point, then tune one change at a time:
- Front shocks: 32.5 wt oil with the 2.0 mm, 2x1.8 mm-hole pistons.
- Front caster insert: +5 degrees; Ackermann inner shims: 0 mm.
- Front shock tower: standard; keep the front shock mounts at mid.
- Rear shocks: standard direction and 0 mm eyelet length; use the -2 mm rear tower.
- Rear tires: the B7.1D clay setup data lists TZO tires with T1 compound.
These are starting points, not a confirmed Nor-Cal setup. If the track has good grip, these low-grip choices may feel too soft or lack steering precision. Is Nor-Cal’s track clay, carpet, or astroturf, and would you call the grip low, medium, or high?

The B7.1/B7.1D lists 72, 75, 78, and 81 tooth spur gears as its standard options, so an 87T spur is not a listed fit. I wouldn’t assume the 87T will clear the transmission or mesh...
