Asphalt set up 21.5
Miles, So Dialed's RC setup AI
Assuming a 21.5T Yokomo RS2.0 on medium-grip asphalt, start with about 5 mm front and 5.5 mm rear ride height, -1.5° front toe, and +3.5° rear toe. The 21.5T motor does not require a different chassis baseline; grip level and tire choice will matter more.
A practical starting setup is:
- Camber: -2° front and rear, as a general 1/10 4WD touring-car asphalt baseline.
- Ride height: 5 mm front and 5.5 mm rear, matching RS2.0 medium-asphalt setup data.
- Toe: -1.5° front and +3.5° rear, values used on RS2.0 asphalt setups.
- Differentials: front spool and 3,000 cSt rear fluid; the RS2.0 asphalt data also lists 450 cSt shock oil and 3-hole pistons.
- Tires: Ride tires are listed for medium-grip asphalt on this car.
This should give a stable baseline with enough rear toe-in for drive and straight-line security. Check ride height on the track surface, then change one setting at a time. If the track is low-grip, tell me that and what tires you’re running, since the setup should shift for those conditions.

What are good droop base settings for carpet on a Yokomo RS2.0?
There isn’t a carpet-specific RS2.0 droop number available here, so I wouldn’t call any value a confirmed carpet baseline. For a consistent first measurement, use the RS2.0’s...
What's a good base setup for a Yokomo RS2.0 on high-grip indoor carpet?
There isn’t a high-grip-specific RS2.0 setup available, but this is a solid starting point based on RS2.0 carpet settings and a general touring-car carpet baseline: Ride height: 5...
