That is very close to how I run my car on a similar tight carpet track.

A couple of changes, pretty much what E says.

green front spring middle hole on wishbone,
pink rear spring, outer hole on xxxcr rear wishbone
diff in the front
front and rear anti roll bar

I'm not a fan of E's soft front springs, I find that the front end seems to wash out as the front drops all the way to the deck in fast corners. Maybe it's just that E and Tom are better at crisis management than I am, but red springs front springs are not for me.

Have any of you guys who have run there x5's on th RHR track sussed out any sort of starting set up ?
Neil..

I dont think any of the team have run there yet :eh?:

x5 squared setup
 

cheers ellis and craig well be giving it a go to morrow

Wasnt sure if Tom or Dan had done any testing :eh?:

Id say go for the setup E has posted above.
Thats close to Toms base setup so should give you a good starting point!

Ok thanks Mat

Afraid not

I've had a couple of runs there after work days, and I've been running a setup very similar to what E posted, just with the std steering (I plan on trying the E-Speed one again this weekend), std height front link and 40wt oil in the front.

This is what I'll start with at the regional.

A few weeks back, I had some questions on my X6-setup, and as I reported back, the car behaved very well after the suggested changes.

Now, last week, we ran a club race again, and the dirt surface is very hard, with som loose gravel/dust on top, and with the next race coming up this Thursday, and no rain on the weather forecast, I expect the conditions to be very similar.

My problem last week, was that the rear grip is really good (using ProLine Bow-ties), and the car feels very planted and stable, but in the tight corners, I understeer quite a bit. I am using the stock rear wing with almost no guerney, and a ProLine front "wing".

What would be the best option in order to improve the steering particularily INTO the corner, so that I dont have to use my brakes to get around the tightest ones? Softer front springs? (I run Losi orange at the moment)

what rough gearing point should i be looking at for an x6 4gear running on short grass using minispikes 10x2 checkpoint motor and a spur of 81 teeth?

21 tooth should do you ;)

Just be careful using an 81t spur, as it will be very close to touching the diff output. You'd be safer opting for a 78t. :)

I have noticed it and have sanded the pin's down a bit to clear it more :D

Cheer's il work from there and go down a tooth if its still hot

All New Sheets
 

As Paul posted on another thread, the all new X Factory set-up sheets are now on the new website. On the front page, click on the car you want, then the Tech button.

The dialed new sheets are in full color and we are putting them in the Kits in full color. Expensive, but worth it!

There are blank sheets for you to download + the new "standard" set-ups.

After a ton of work by the whole Team, we have come up with one set-up for the X - 60 and two for the X - 6 Sq, grass/astro and everyplace else. These are the standard Kit set-ups now, and the Boyz say if you've got this on your car exactly and entirely and the car's not working, it's probably tires.

Check 'em out at the new site, www.xfactoryrc.com

The new setup-sheets are great: modern looking, clear layout and the pictures make it easier to handle as pictures say more than words.

10/10 for the new sheet:thumbsup:

Thanks for the props! They took a bit of work to put together, but I'm really happy with how they came out :D.

I'm working on a editable-and-saveable-version, but it's a long ways from being done at this point.

The new setup sheet are reeaaally nice but I saw room for some improvements! I submit everything to Chazz with some details (why the upgrade was made basically). Here is the modified setup sheet I made.

Hope that can help, both racers and X-Factory!

Those new setup sheets really are the BOMB! Good job guys!!

Do people run the 4 deg toe in bar on the rear of the X-6 sq all the time or does the 3 deg one come in handy and under what surcome stances ?
Also has anybody tried 3 deg toe in block with 1 deg at the hub ?

4 is used everywhere, the only time i use a 3 is if i have broken a 4 and dont have a spare, i haven't broken one in well over a year though :thumbsup:

that'll be the kiss of death now lee, make sure you have a spare 4 deg for blyth :) lmao

UK wise I would agree though was convinced that at Belgium (very high grip/drive) this year 3 deg was the future as there was so much drive 4 deg worsened power on understeer.

i used to run the xfactory 4 deg (plastic), switched to the vampire 4deg and its feels so much nicer.
expensive but worth it

after watching stu rand losi cr fly around faversham club last(polished wooden floor and plenty of 4wds beaten!)
im really after advice on gearing a speed passion 13.5 in a x6?:thumbsup:
cos i fancy ago of this!!!!
thanks.

hey gaz i ran a 23 on a 78 i think (yellow) it was pretty quick as you saw i would run the speed pasty at about a 25 a couple higher than a my tekin.

That sounds way undergeared ?? I run 23/78 on a 7.5.

no its not you dont race at forcc :thumbsup:

Lol ok will take your word for it.

Hey gaz,

When Will G ran my x6 we used it on a 26 on his xcelorin motor and that wasnt far from perfect, i only ran my cr2 on a 20 tooth due to the extra idler and smaller 74 tooth spur and that was easily quicker down the straight than most of the 4wd :D

Hi Gentlemen,

Just to ket you know some change about what I do as their is some change to do on your bookmarks. Please refer to this message

Hope that help!

about a 24-25 on the x6 gaz. emma is on a 27 outdoors so down a couple ;)

Has anyone got some compressed/extended lengths for the shocks on an X5? I can find them for the X6 but not the X5. Just trying to see if i can make up some shocks out of Associated bits I have or wether its easier to get hold of some Losi ones, but i would rather try to get the some suitable Associated ones if possible.

Cheers once again! :thumbsup:

Does anyone have a setup for x6 at robinhood raceway? Nice to have a starting point for the oople meeting next weekend

cheers

Yes please !!

Here you go ace, perfect for any TFB racer ;)

I drove Dan's X-6 at EPR last weekend. He is truly a stronghold of Team Fluffy Bum!

Here's mine from the national there the other week.

Pretty much the same as Dan's.

E.

Thanks guys,
Dan, is it correct that you don't have extra weight under the lipo?
what lipo's do you use and how heavy are they?

(I have orion 3600 and TP 4900 to use if my hongkong shizzle hasn't arrived this week)


Ellis, you don't limit your rear shocks and Dan does 3mm why is that big difference, your heavyer car?

+on your setup it states 'rear tire: mini pin' must be spike if it's a national setup I guess.


other stuff is pretty similar :)
(I'm trying to be well prepared, 'cause coming with Elvo and Flipside encourages me to do so ;) )
