OK I give up... I really need help setting up the shocks in my Procat. It's been running well (transmission's holding up and even raced it a bit at Stotfold) but I can't seem to get it to handle or land right. I'm probably fighting a losing battle (I'll probably get a modern car next summer) but I'm sure I can get it to handle better.
I'm using the Tamiya aeration buggy dampers, which are the same as on the 501x and DB01-R. I'm using the bleed caps. The problem with the front of the Procat is the shocks are very layed down and there's virtually no adjustability. I've removed the anti-roll bar so I could move the lower shock mount out. I've had to use No.2 piston and 60wt oil just to firm it up and stop it bottoming out... but it feels odd. Using black Losi springs at the moment.
At the rear I was using No.4 piston and 40wt oil. Losi yellow or pink springs. The rear is bottoming out after jumps and bending the rear wishbone carrier bolt. I've just changed the piston to No.3 with 30wt oil.
Has anyone else experienced this frustration? Anybody remember how they set up their Cat or Procat? Any help appreciated. Cheers
