Atomic Carbon at the "Worlds 2007"
 
Yep thats right, there will be Atomic Carbon cars at the worlds this year, you guessed it I am going, and will be running both the S-2 and S-4 cars, with freshly painted shells, a big thanks to Jonathon and Craig Harris!!!!!!!
I have also be given a few other bits so I can shamelessly promote this at Japan!!!! :cool:

OldTimer 27-08-2007 09:51 AM

And Fred Pain will be also running a S4 at the worlds ;) to keep Mr Church company :D

David Church 27-08-2007 10:24 AM

Hi David, there is no problem, we could exchange set-ups. My english is quite bad, but some of my friends speak better.

Good luck to both Dave and Fred at the Worlds.

May the Force be with you!!

I would start with the following shock setup, the rest of the car as normal.

front
silver spring, internal spring + 1mm limiter
maybe red piston and 35 or 30wt oil depending how hot it is.
black piston if there are no bumps only jumps
middle on tower, inner on wishbone

rear
pink spring, no limiters (using 1.2 body and 1.0 shaft)
blue piston and 30 or 35wt oil depending on how hot it is
orange piston if there are no bumps only jumps.
inside on tower (outside if you want the rear to side more on corner entry)
inside on wishbone.

Looking at the photos of the worlds track http://www.epoff-ifmarworlds.com/photo/alubum_top.htm i think playing with anti squat will be a important thing to test, as it looks like a large track with high speed bumps, i am guessing zero anti squat should work well.

Is that set-up for a S2 or S4 ?

Chris Doughty 28-08-2007 12:52 PM

S4 starting setup.

twister1 28-08-2007 01:02 PM

thank you very much, i have a race for the french championship, i'll try your set up there ! thanks again

David Church 28-08-2007 07:00 PM

Yes thanks Chris!!! I will also start with this setup. I am hoping to also have access to the internet trackside( jimmy I am hoping will let me use his, pleeeeeeeeeease) so if I need andmore help, what am I saying, WHEN I need help, I will ask.:wtf:

Body Paint 28-08-2007 09:00 PM

I would agree with the Master ;)

That is the setup I would start with, except I would go with a Green front spring as I like a little less steering than Chris. I typically run the rear of my car the same as Chris but have the front end slightly stiffer.

I would suggest starting with what CD says and if you want a slightly safer car try going up 5 weight oil in the front or a harder spring. As Chris says the black piston may be an option to tame the front end, but only if the track does not rut up.

Just to clarify something Chris said, if it's Really hot you may want to go up in oil as the heat can thin the oil.

I think I would stick to the 2 degree anti squat to help the car get traction and to help the car jump a little easier.

I'll be here waiting to help, just post up on here and I'll do my best.

DC you are more than welcome to come and use the laptop - we should have internet at the track so it should be all good! :) no idea what the time difference is tho.

MattW 28-08-2007 09:30 PM
