Atomic SAS Pro Rear Suspension for AWD MA-010

The project is to have this AM car running with new ASF board and fine tune the all new Atomic SAS Pro rear suspension.

SAS PRO:

Silver springs and Orange springs...one is supposed to be softer that the other. I can't tell which one is softer since they're both hard as a rock! I honestly don't know how you make this rear end handle with those hard springs.

Dremeled the bumps underneath the chassis. I even dremeled the stock rear end just in case I can't get the SAS to work. :)

Today, I spent almost all day at the shop alone working on this car. The fine tuning was easy but I got stuck on the car not tracking straight. I've done atleast 7 awd and this is the only one (except my car) that had the same issue as mine. Not being able to go straight on the straight-away! After some hacking on the servo cover, I found out what the problem is. The blue plate that sandwhiches the gears seems to cause some binding issue so I changed those plates back to the stock (smoke black) and it works perfectly!

As I mentioned before, I had no idea how to make those silver/orange springs that came with SAS. So first thing I did was take those springs out. Since I don't carry any SAS parts at the shop I needed come up with something that'll work for this set-up and I found this...

Yes, those are the PN low down springs. Why the low down? Because I don't want to open a new bag for regular springs. ;) Why white?
- doesn't bottom out
-not too stiff like the yellow springs
-not too soft like the purple springs

I did however had to use atm grease on the shaft which got rid of the rear chattering.

How does this car compare to the stock rear end?

Well, the car that I built last week which was the exact replica of my awd mod but in PN stock spec. The car was super smooth, consistent and fast infield. I never had to worry about traction roll. That car was able to drop 6.88 fast lap.

This Project SAS on the other hand was much faster. Yes, MUCH FASTER! Dropping at almost 3 tenths of a second (6.60) faster than the replica car on the first 2 mins I dropped the car on the track! Only thing is that the SAS had so much traction that I had to use a lot of throttle control at almost every corner... basically I was babying the car. If I'm not tired of working on this car, this car can definitely drop faster lap times but with that it means, I have to spend more time to fine tune this thing which is something I don't have.

Is it worth buying the SAS Pro?

-If you know what you're doing then yes.
-if you have all the time in the world.

Would I buy it?

-no. If you give it to me for free, then yes. :D j/k. Yes, I'll definitely try this but not anytime soon... I'm very busy!

I have quite a few idea going around my head about this SAS and the funny thing is that, I think this SAS Pro will beat my awd mod if tuned properly.
