At the moment im running as follows:
FRONT
Springs.............Silver (kit)
#75 lime green
Oil....................30w
35wt AE (maybe try 40wt)
Shock pos..........middle top, middle
arm outer on arm
Castor blocks.....10 degree
Camber link........inner pos. on both ends
inner - king pin ball (from original ZX5), stud 0mm washers both ends ... if you can't do that then outer holeon hub, 3mm under outer ballstud
Camber.............1 degree negative
-1.5deg
Toe..................1 degree out
0deg (toe out will make the car twitchy)
Arms................. just below level
REAR
Springs.............Silver (kit)
#75 lime green
Oil....................25w
30wt AE (maybe try 35wt)
Shock pos..........middle top, inner arm
mid top arm outer on arm
Camber link........inner pos. at both ends outer both ends
(3mm under outer ball stud)
Sus holder.........A25
short wheel base
Rear roll bar 1.2mm (kit)
ride height so rear slightly higher than front at rest
NOTE:- SET-UP FOR NiMhs AS I'VE NOT USED LIPOs
Also might be worth trying outer rows off the tires as this will allow the car to slide more rather than digging in and rolling.
19T reedy brushed motor
Schumacher mini pins all round with blue inserts (slightly worn)
The problem i have is both understeer and oversteer!!....
let me explain...using this setup i get poor high speed turn in and poor turn in on full lock at medium speed, i then changed the oil in the rear to 35w and put the shock mounts to outer, top and bottom! this now gives me oversteer at the end of the straight and it seems to 'hook' at tight corners.. I have tried a lot of different combinations but this is about the best iv found
Now i am no great driver but it is hard to develop your skill when the car is not setup right, Iv had my Lazer from December and think its a crackin car! half the joy of racing it for me is learning the setup....i think i just need a little help...
Thanks Roger...
