Hi all,

When I tried to mount the 'old' red and grey springs, the absorbers are completely pushed out and I have no droop; so I assume that some coils are cut off. If yes, how many coils do you cut off or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks:thumbsup:

nope no coils cut of,can you take some pics,?

Kusal, what length are your shocks, you may have to lengthen them ;)

heres a link to Si Moss's cat with said springs on http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros2009/day6/

44mm front link 0 or 1mm washer under front ball stud
and Matty likes 2mm track washer virtually every were we run
and cut tyres spikes of to suite

thank you bigred!

have a race next weekend and dont have any time coming week for testing setups. my third 4wd race ever. second on carpet.

Has someone experience with the FAB? See at the moment I`m racing without, but this item is a little bit too costy just to check it out....

same with the 7,5° front yokes. My general problem is, that the car "flips" on high grip carpet. Does the 7,5° yokes improve the "smoothness" in the curves? OK, I have to cut the spikes, but at turning in, I have too much grip at the front, so it flips.

hi i am running my cat at my local club and it is going great i am just not too sure on the gearing side of things i am running a 6.5 sp 82 or 83 spur with a 27 pin do you think this is ok its seams to good well on it but would like to try a 28 pin but not sure if this will be too much i race on grass at batley buggy club its not comeing off realy hot or anything just a 28 pin sounds very high too me. Any advice anyone could give would be great thanks.

that does sound a little over geared, 6.5 on a smallish track we ran 22 82 largish indoor on rubberised cork, 24 82 out door at batley we ran 24- 25

thanks for that will give gearing ago on sunday

Hi, can somebody explain the pro's & cons of 7.5 and 12.5 degree yokes on the sx2, basically how would the car feel different, i currently have the standard plastic 10 degree items fitted but was thinking of trying the option parts but not sure which way to go? I race on tight twisty carpet indoors?? Any advise appreciated..

7.5 will give u more turn going in to a corner less coming out
12.5 will give less going in more comming out
on the sx and sx2 we ran 12.5 all the time

Thanks very much :thumbsup:

Is it normal for a sx2 to wear the front tyres much quicker than the rears or is it my set up? Car handles/drives well but the fronts are well past their best when the rears have several races left in them, my previous car (losi) wore the tyres even all the way round??

does your car have an overdrive pully in the front? :confused:
