They look good, but I hate the small of cutting staggers, how much for a ready made set when I arrive on the Thursday? :)

Just toss a set on "the pile" on Thursday, one set more or less is not going to make a difference ;-)

How many sets do you need for the race, Janus ?:confused:

super__dan 10-06-2008 01:37 PM

What an absolute legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

One set can get you though the day, but most guys in the faster mains (c-main and better) will use new tires for the main's.

But ofcourse there are some exeptions that will only use tires 2 times.

Janus is in love with his Dremel. If you leave stuff near him, chances are that he'll have taken his Dremel to it when you get back. A beer for the first person to spot a non-dremeled part on his car!

OK no beers then.

super__dan 10-06-2008 06:49 PM

Do I win by having a dremelled servo plate? ;)

PS, if these are good I'm going to try leaving 2 pairs ;)

Can someone describe in words (or post a piccie) of the rear inner camber link hole Ellis uses on the X5 Oswestry setup?

The setup sheet states holes 1 - 8 , but my car has 11 holes :confused:

super__dan 26-06-2008 06:43 AM

It's bttom row, either outer one or last but outer one I think. The numbers refer to what each one was called on the Losi setup sheet on the xx4

I ran the X6 on saturday with the Hot bodies shocks and the biggest holed pistons they do, running 35wt and a orange spring front and 30wt with pink spring rear. The car was awesome and had loads of grip. I got the 78 spur too and lowered the gearbox, this made a huge difference to the way the car turned into the corners. The X6 is getting better all the time. And it resulted in my best Nat result of the 7th in the G too.
It was so easy to drive, and could've been higher up too if I wasn't attacked in the fastest run which resulted in the plastic nut (that holds the shock on) being stripped off, making the shock come off.....boooo!

Good stuff though.:thumbsup:

Without having to go and buy a new set of losi shock (which I don't want to do), I think the HB shocks are as close as you can get.

are you cutting the rims down to make them slimmer so the tyres seat better ?

super__dan 30-06-2008 06:46 PM

Yeah, glue to outer rib as normal but glue the inner part to the inner edge of the 'middle' rib. So nothing is mounted in the inside 1/3 of the rib. You can just leave it on but it looks gash so most cut it off!

Looking for a setup for a technical "sand" track for the upcoming Belgian championship but didn't found it?

This is the setup I used in Vlijmen's indoor race's, dirt track, very rutted and bumpy (dont mind the tires, you'll never find these anymore :thumbsup:), but ...ehhmmm.... isn't Arendonk 1st ?

delanobe 14-07-2008 07:23 AM

Thanks for the setup and yes Arendonk is first but for astro the car is dialed :thumbsup:
