Fastest lap times were almost half a second quicker then the previous round using 3 degree.

How did you get the 2 degrees of anti-squat Craig? My track is pretty bumpy, car takes it pretty bloody wel at the mo, but another half second or so would be nice:thumbsup:

im guessing here but id say by adding a 1mm spacer under the front 2+ block to make it +3, giving 2 anti squat?

JohnM 29-09-2009 08:49 PM

Is there room under the block for a spacer? At work at the mo, so don't have the car in front of me.

Hi Guys,

thanks for the heat shrink.

Just one question do you know what size may need for 1/8th Rallycross?
For centre drive shafts etc was thinking it would be 25.4mm???

Any ideas anyone i know it's abit off the topic just think of getting some for 1/8th too

MALLET 01-10-2009 11:45 AM

What car you running Rob is it the AE I think you'll need 18mm so it shrinks to 16mm

No I've left Associated now buddy.

I'm now running Kyosho MP9, they are little but bigger the CVD's

Is the 2 degrees of rear anti-squat a secret mod? its been three days since Craig first mentioned it, and still no one has said how to get it:confused:

Also, has anyone tried running without the droop screws in the rear for more droop? if so, did the drive shafts stay in ok?

We didn't run 2 degrees anti-squat, we ran zero.
I mistakenly said to Craig I was changing to the 2 degree rear block, when it actually refers to mm offset.
We ran zero Anti Squat - It was good.

Sorry for late reply John, been off work last few days and still dont have access to internet at moment due to Sky been absolute idiots!!

Yeh after speaking with Adam again it wasn't 2 degree anti squat we actually ran zero. The car was much better over bumps especially under power!

In regards to not using the droop screws for more droop ive not been using mine since i got the car and had no problems with drive shafts coming out. If you take the cover off the outdrive you can actually see without the screws the driveshatfs still sit deep into the outdrive so you will have no problems.

Thanks for the replys guys, just I was confused how you were getting the 2 degrees, when the book doesn't show it as an option, thought maybe there were some new parts coming, will give it a go this weekend, if we get enough peeps booked in for a meet.

Our track at LBC, is pretty bumpy, so anything that makes the car even better over them, has got to be good:thumbsup:

WHITTLER555 04-10-2009 05:00 PM

First run with the Durango at Southport today and I am impressed!:thumbsup:

The track is very high grip so worn tyres are best and I changed the set up to cope with the random bumps (set sheet will go up on Durango site if I can figure out how to do it!)

The car puts its power down really well and quite a few people commented on how well it rode he bumps. Reading the comment above I was running kit anti squat so with zero degree it should be even better.

In heat three it rained heavily so i quickly put on some very worn green ballistics and went out for the run. The car was brilliant, full time 4WD and excellent braking power meant I could drive up the inside of anyone, it really was exiting and easy to drive.

All day I was on the pace of a certain young Schumacher team driver so I was well pleased with the cars first run out.:thumbsup:

bigred5765 04-10-2009 05:09 PM

it did look good today damo, not bad for a old gezza lmao,;)

WHITTLER555 04-10-2009 05:25 PM

Cheers Carl, never laughed so much as Matty threw the car off coming on to the straight at 90 degrees into the gate!

Can't believe he finished the race.:woot:

I promise I wasn't sandbagging today:lol:

bigred5765 04-10-2009 05:47 PM

lol have never seen a car dig in so hard in all my time racing,it must have been 6 feet in the air, it took a chunk of wood out of the fence and still kept going, minus its front bumper,you were on for F1 pace today master sand bagger, lol
