Rain set ups vary on the brand of tires that you are using, the amount of rubber on the track, and the amount of water on the track. My experience has been with Bridgestone rains for the most part. If the track is wet enough to throw "rooster tails" off the tires I would suggest using 75mm front hubs with at least 2 thick spacers wide. 1.5 degree to 3 degree caster, 5mm toe out, 5mm positive camber, no front bar, B axle, short hubs with the hubs set 1/4" in off the end of the axle. Normally we use the Freeline cast aluminum wheels. As the track starts to dry out you can run more of a dry set up with the rain tires on.
