Hi mate!
Right the set you are using is a right weird setup seriously!!!!
Blue tyres and staggered ribs put in the bin!
If I was you I would start all over again and start with this as modify it as per the track and your driving style.
This is what the top AE drivers are using currently.
Can't remember if you said you were using Lipo, this will be for Lipo!
-Front-
35w AE
Blue
No 2
Inner on wishbone
Middle on mount
1deg-
1washer under ball stud
Ball stud on inner hole
Yellow mini spike slims
Schumacher green medium inserts
-Rear-
30W AE
Silver
No 1
Inner on wishbone
Middle on mount (drill another inner hole if you like but that's only used if your running no extra weight to be honest)
1deg-
2washers under ball stud
Kit hole for ball stud from memory ;0S
2deg anti squat
Medium wheelbase
Medium battery layout (cut your foam in half)
Schumacher yellow mini spikes
Schumacher green medium inserts
Kit hole on hub carriers
Motor 6.5t or 7.5t dependant on track
Spur 78t (81 depending on your driving Is too punchy)
Pinion 21-24 dependant on motor and spur
If you find you have too much steering try this-
Outer hole on front wishbone
Cut the outer row off your front spikes
Go upto 40w oil last resort
too much rear end I.E. Grip rolling try-
Outer row off your rear spikes
Removing 1 or both of the spacers from rear ball stud

Cheers for the reply  . My local (Titchfield) is a bit different to EPR, I think. The jumps are smaller - I doubt the car ever gets more than a 1/2 meter off the ground, and it's astro layered on top of dirt, so the surface is more uneven (not really rutty, but just enough to destabilise firm suspension). Most people at the track run quite a soft setup as it helps maintain grip over the surface in the high speed corners.
My setup is as follows:
Front:
30wt schumacher oil
Brown springs
Inner hole at the top, outer hole on the bottom
Schumacher yellow stagger ribs
Rear:
30wt schumacher oil
Green springs
Middle hole at the top, outer hole at the bottom
Schumacher blue mini pins
Weight is 1570-1620g, depending on which batteries I'm running. I have 10g of added weight in the front of the car (above and below the front bulkhead), and 10g of weight at the rear (behind the receiver/ESC), although this was there when i bought the car, so I haven't played around with it as yet .
I have completely forgotten what pistons I'm running, but I'll be giving my shocks a rebuild later this week, so I'll find out then. I quite like the idea of laying the rear shocks down more and putting smaller holed pistons in them - from what I understand the more laid down shocks will have a lower piston speed early on in the travel, so I shouldn't have too much bother with the extra pack when the shocks are just moving a tiny bit (as in just over the surface as normal), but I'll have extra pack for the jumps. How much would I have to adjust the oil to make up for the piston size change, and is it sensible to run different piston sizes in front and rear, or not? |
