FS2/Big bore setups
 

Well guys, considering getting a FS2...

Can you post some setups you've had good experience with when running the Big Bore shocks? For both Indoors and Outdoors...

As the springs are so expensive, I need to refine the potential purchase!

If there are any other key hop-ups, please list those too.

Finally, what's the disadvantage of running a regular size servo, other than the link is at a bizarre angle?

Cheers y'all :thumbsup:

Hi Mate,

Kit piston's usually run from 50wt to 25wt front & rear.

I'm currently running 50/45wt front & 40/35wt rear indoor low grip like Worksop.

As for springs i would get all if you can, but wont go wrong with Yellow front, rear's Yellow, Red, gold & white thats all i have used out of the selection so far just for indoors.
As for outdoors you may change totally so softer front springs maybe?

Sorry if not much help.

As for servo, you cant adjust your slipper very well & i find that you dont get the best out of your steering. Also doesnt help the life of your servo i think anyways.

Servo wise, ive got a normal size one and spaced the ball away from the horn to keep the trackrod straight, seems ok to me Toby.

Sounds like a good idea Ian. Have you run yours yet?

Only a quick test on the patio as yet :). Very nice car though !!

Are you running it this weekend and have you got Big bores or the standard shocks?

Not got the big bores Toby, going to wait and see how it goes mate. The standard shocks are very nice any way.
Might try and have a blast at Broxtowe tonight .

Let me know how it goes!
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Any setups from the Mid-South Kyosho boys?

Or Big E?

Thanks.

I don't have any big bores!

E

You must try them!! ;)

I'm good without thanks..especially with the price of them :o

You'll be even better with them...:p stotfold National etc..

Im sure Darren would do you a good deal?!?! Ry or Stu at JE also..??

They are good inside, but will come into there own once outdoor gets going.. :thumbsup:

Do you have an outdoor setup for the regular shocks?

Cheers E :thumbsup:

I don't run them either....

only for the wealthy guys :)

Thats because you aint tried them! lol! :p

Everyone who i know who has run them...with the exception of Roger like them.. Colin May went back to standard shocks and said it felt more alive.. but a few set up changes later hes back with the big bores and we both cant wait to test them outdoors as they will be very good!!

:thumbsup:

Neil not at all... in my eyes they make the car alot better.. much more forgiving, easy to drive.. and no sacrificeon laptimes as Roger has said.. People who are already quick, add the big bores and once set up they WILL be quicker.. my opinion i know... People who have drives with Kyosho in the UK will get a good deal on them im sure :thumbsup: if they dont like they can sell them... but that wont happen!!

Look at Tebo at the Reedy race... his cars both running big bores looked super dialled and was unlucky he didnt get the win as he was easily one of the quickest, if not the quickest!

If the shocks didnt help he would have gone back to standard velvets??

:thumbsup:

If it isn't broke don't fix it.....

lol!

You got my spares Mr! :p

I will do, for when i see you at Stotfold...... How's that Vega ????
