Southport Setup
My CR2 was perfect in Southport except for its behaviour on the lumpy section after the tarmac. Wasn't happy with the damper setup and couldn't find the right configuration.
How could I have improved this? I was using the following; Front - black spring, red piston, 32.5wt Losi oil, AC tower, middle hole on tower and wishbone, front axles moved forward, Rudebits thin under servo weight, rudebits front chassis side weights, VLA long Rear - pink spring, red piston, 30wt assoc. oil, hole 3 on tower, middle on xxx-cr wishbone, 2 deg antisquat, 70g under Lipos, Rudebits T-piece, 1 degree hubs (4deg total) spaced forward, VLA long Does anyone know what Danny McGee's setup was - his car looked awesome! |
Well my car was set up like this, and flew through there, it is a lot about the line you take though....
Front - Green spring Red GHEA piston 30wt Losi oil AC tower middle hole Middle hole on wishbone Front caster blocks moved forward 1 wheelbase shim lead under servo weight, 15g in bulkhead VLA short Rear - Pink spring Red GHEA piston 27 1/2 wt Losi oil Out 1 hole on tower Extra inner hole drilled on BK2 wishbones Old XXX rear pivot block (well actually the ali one off the CR Truck) ~1/2 deg antisquat No lead under Lipos Rudebits T-piece CR degree hubs Short wheelbase VLA short For a start on the kit CR back end I'd say your shocks are too hard and out to far on the wishbones. I only ever used the inner hole on the wishbones or an extra inner hole I drilled. Is that any help? G |

Take a look at the thread in here about CR2 mods, explains it all :)

What's the weight of your batteries ? This is imo an often overlooked setup item that is seldom mentioned, as well as the so important F/R weight distribution. Just like the knowledge of the total weight, I think it's useless to copy a setup if you don't know all these interesting parameters! Thx, Kurt |
Yours looked the dogs on Saturday G. :thumbsup:
|
Thanks Spencer :)
OK, the weight of my lipos is: 258.3g I can do corner weight measurement tonight if you would like :) G |
Thanks, nice to see you're going in to detail ! Sure about the .3g though ? ;) |

I would agree with Graham, rear shocks on the middle hole are crap on the back section and as you come off the section too. I have tried the old and cr rear end and the old is better at the back of the track. 32.5 is a little too soft when the track has dryied out.

pistons
i am interested in getting some geah pistons . but not sure what type i need. i am running a yokomo bmax. so what would be cool for a average 4wd buggy with 30 wt oil.
i no its a bit off topic but i am racing south port this sun so its kinda connected thanks guys |

front: black spring, red piston, 37.5, DM front tower, basically holes in between the current ones, outside hole on that, outside hole on wishbone, 2-B camber link, long vla, thin rude bits plate under servo rear, pink spring with paint removed, 32.5 oil, red piston, inside hole on tower, short wheel base, 3rd hole on top of camber link on the tower from the inside. Old style rear end, the old wishbones too with an extra hole drill on the inside. 1 degree rear hubs, middle hole on the hub, 5 degree antisquat. Rude bits, under lipo plate, t plate. Think that was about it to be honest. Oh losi hard foams all round too. give a little more steering. hope that it will help Danny |

Hi, Can you just confirm 5 degrees or 0.5 degrees antisquat? Cheers, Ian |

I run a CR2 at southport as it is my home track.
as northy has said it is about getting the right line across the back section but this setup works perfectley for me front camber:-1.5deg caster: 30deg swaybar: no oil: 35wt piston: Ghea piston spring: black limiters: 2mm spindle hight: high axle spacer: Narrow camber link: 2 A 3mm washers under ball stud shock location: 2 middle VLA: long Front wing: None Rear toe: 3deg antisquat: 1deg camber: 2 deg rear hub spacing: long sway bar: no oil: 27.5 piston: ghea piston spring: pink limiters: 2mm camer: 6 B 3mm limiters VLA: short |

Yellow minispike rears Yellow stagger or worn slim minispike fronts or BB Green rears Schu Slim minispike fronts It's a bit personal preference between liking the car direct and on edge a little (yellows) and feeling safer but just as quick (greens). Always a BIG insert, P-Dub KWF or Mr "O" type medium. Simples. :D |
