Key points (for others still trying to find their way)
1) Don't be scared to try something - you won't know until you try
2) Everybody's driving style is different - so published setups don't work for everyone.
Regarding that last point - I have to fess up and apologise.  After testing the car to the best of my ability to find a 'neutral' base setup for us UK Astro and high bite racers to work from to begin with, I have to accept that mine is obviously a rather strange driving style and probably far too girly on the throttle for the more testosterone charged amongst us. Thus, a lot of my setups tend to be best described as loose and edgy and probably don't suit many people  Sorry for that - old habits die hard and I can't change the way I drive.
But it is refreshing to read whenever anyone finds something that is working for them and isn't afraid to open themselves up to criticism because their setup doesn't fit the expected norm.
Thanks again for posting your set up. Its good to know. |
Thank you, I think it's worth trying anything before throwing away an investment.
My very unknowledgable view on this car was that the kit setup was for rear motor, so with the extra weight at the front and less at the rear the suspension has to be hardened on front softened at the rear for the mid.
For this car I would definately recommend a descent servo, Sub 0.10 seconds, I'm running 12Kg torque, my first servo (0.14S, 7Kg torque) just wasn't man enough to cope with even slippy conditions.
Another thing is I find high punch setups aren't the way to go. The real challenge with this car is finding rear end grip that doesn't snap on you suddenly when you go beyond the limit. In my opinion Mid motors are about carrying corner speed not stop and go.
I'm certainly got alot to learn, intregued by anti-squat and HRC vs LRC. Just trying to piece together the options, which is where this forum really helps.
