So I've built the kit up and had a stellar time. Everything drops in nicely with no hand fitting required.
This is my first offroad car. My experience is only limited to mod 1/10 sedan so I'm planning to run 17.5 non-timing offroad in rear motor configuration.
My questions:
Seeing how this car is marketed primarily in MR configuration,
how does the base setup fare when running in rear motor config?
For instance, I've looked at the Yatabe setup for clay and although it is in MR config, the shock oil is significantly lower viscosity (22.5wt vs stock 400cst).
What kind of FDR should I be looking at for 17.5 non-timing? (Motor: Reedy Sonic)
Background:
I'm going to be running the car in southern California mainly at 2 tracks:
1) WCRC(Site of 2013 Reedy Race of Champions)
-indoor
-hard packed clay
-medium to high traction
2)IERC
-indoor
-medium packed clay known to clog tires
-low to medium traction
Per recommendations from fellow racers, I've mounted the following tires that will work at both tracks:
-Rear Proline Suburb MC
-AKA Red insert
-Front Proline Scrubs MC
-AKA Red insert
Any setup and driving tips no matter how seemingly small or insignificant are more than welcome and appreciated! Please share your knowledge here in or PM. I am eager to learn from all of you.
thanks
