Setups!
 

Stick your setups (only) in here please. For the original and Worlds edition cars.

Anyone got a setup for the WE for southport??....
Just bought one *feels faint!!!*

I cant tell you my setup (pretty much same as stu woods) since I dont have the car with me.. but the shocks are

front:
blue spring
#3 piston
30wt oil
inside on tower
outside on wishbone

rear:
green spring
#1 piston
25wt oil
inside on tower and wishbone


I think 3 washers under the rear ball stud to lower it.

Thats all I can remember! hehe.. the car was superb.

rear camberlink
3 washers under rear stud inside on hub short wheelbase

front camberlink
3.5 washers outside
2 or 3 washers inside on the outer topdeck hole

steering rack:
forward hole 3 washers inside 1 outside

i needed to use a 0.060 limiter inside the rear shocks and an o-ring outside allround to stop the driveshafts hitting the outdrives

oneways can be used but that is down to personal choice

i tried all three drive types for the review. fixed, centre one way and front one way. they were progressively harder to drive and progressively faster on the track.
To my surprise the car was really good as it comes with full time 4wd

Is that right? seems like a lot of washers, and how do i get half a washer?!? :-P

I appear to have one thin washer out there along with some thicker ones, so i guess thats it.. Woody did mine.

i got a metric washer somat like 4 / 5mm you'd need to measure one of the kit ballstud washers then figure out which

Kit ballstud washer is about 0.75mm

I have found that if I run any more than three washers with the kit ballstuds, on the inner camber links, there is no thread left to fasten the nut to.

Papa smurf and some super glue will fix that Tom! :D

G

ill let you all have a really nice 2wd set up tomorrow, i hope we are going to test at bury Saturday, lol u no the car i mean hehehehe be with me tomorrow hehehehe

so will a nice fat receipt asking for money from customs :D

is this bury thing a regular day now?

mr nice customs type chappy (you never no who reads these things) i have to edge my bets
not to bad £50-70 for three cars is what im expecting any way
still under £160 mark beets the £199 expected uk price
would love saturday at burt to become a regular thing

Woha guys! BJ4 setups ! :rolleyes:

come on then jim give us the full stu wood setup....

I need to get some more washers by the sounds of it... so do i need to find 0.015" ones?

The way i had it while testin it yesterday seemed quite good, but theres always room for improvement :-D

tbh with you mate, between you and me like. Whilst stu wood can tell the diff with that .0015000000 washer on there - we probably never could ! lol

I will have a look for a setup sheet and write it down for you when i get a second mate..

Yeah was thinkin that actually... :D

This is what I was running by the end of the day at the Batley national...

Clicky :D

hi can anyone give me a starting set up for my w/e {which oil in my shocks and which springs } im using indoors mainly cheers

check out

and check out the downloads section

For a starting point look in the manual, sometime manufacturer give the basic or strating setup. If not, you still get the tuning guide -which is the manual in fact- to help you

With that source, you will find a large number of setup for various surface but if you just start, that can confuse you! :confused:

Hi guys. If any one wants a set up of there track, just let me know what you want out of the car and I will advise you as best i can. woody

Couple of set ups.....

Rich,

What brush did you find best for cleaning the shocks?;)

Lowe - why do you use 14/78 instead of 15/81? on your X11 5.5?

and why A-hole (hehe) on the rear hub?

Wouldn`t the smaller pinion and spur keep the motor nearer to the centre line of the car?

Doughty (:p) - I can fit an 81t on the BJ4 but it's just about level with the bottom of the chassis which I don't like from the point of getting hit by stones ect. I'm guessing you have more clearance with that big thick slab of carbon you have as a chassis on the S4? ;)

Usually I prefer the shorter rear link as it feels more stable through bumps and stops the car lifting the inside front wheel out of corners when the grip is high. I did end up moving to the middle position at Kiddy as the grip wasn't there to make roll a problem.

thanks for the answer(s)

we only have 3mm worth of chassis thickness, I think thats only 0.5mm thicker than yours?

Maybe I'm a bit over cautious... The gearing feels about right to me and nothing gets hot, actually on the occasions when I've tried 15/78 the car felt much better :o

It can survive a run with Tom driving geared like that without thermalling and thats the ultimate test :D

hi, which setup is the "Jared Tebo" setup that i hear about?

This one ;)

I'll be posting my starting setup for Bury here soon for this weekends UK national :)

Do you have your set up from last weekend available Rich, you car was flying as usual :p

Thought it might be useful for Teesside's regional!!

They are one and the same :)

A couple of minor changes here and there but they are essentially the same setup. Recently I've moved away from using the toplink to stop the back colapsing and used the shocks instead, the result is a lot more rear side-bite and massive drive out of the corner.
The car was amazing at the regional; probably the best it's ever felt to drive. Just ask James Chappell who had a go at the end, I've a feeling there's going to be a XX4 for sale soon ;)

Does this refer to the rear camber link? If so, are you using the shortest link?

Get your bury setup up Rich, I wouldn't mind taking a look at that.
