I drove at Kampenhout (Belgium, old astroturf) today.
Prevously I had problems getting a good setup for the X11-08.
Long story, told shortly: I used the KevLee Setup ... fitted Minipins in the rear and on the front
and the car went very good!
I won't say the car was excellent because I'm no excellent driver but that setup for sure is a very good starting point.
I experimented a bit with tyres as the track became very difficult near the evening. It's a typical Kampenhout situation: when very dry and warm weather, the dust that's on the bottom of the astroturf, gets loosened and the track becomes more and more slippery.
ALl drivers had difficulties finding a good balance near the end, seeing all kind of trics to gain traction and steering in the front (extra wings, dremeled Staggerib, ...)
Cooper tested my car and was very positive about the feel of the car also.
What I ended with was the Kevlee-setup +
Rear:
Minipins (OUT: cut one row)
Height: 16mm
Rollbar: hard (short)
Front:
Minipins (OUT: cut three rows, IN: cut 1,5 row)
Spring: Yellow (in stead of red)
Height: 20mm
Rollbar: Medium (middle)
20 grams of weight onder the shocks
Also I used:
6.5 CS-motor
Teking RS Pro with throttle profile 3
Corally 4200-Lipo
And the slipper was 'kinda loose'
Using Minispikes yellow (OUT: cut 2 rows, IN; cut 1 row) on the front made the car a bit understeered but also very drivable
!? I had to loosen the throttle on flat jumps to prevent the car to go nose-up. Might have tried to ad some weight in the front also, but didn't find the time.
