Vega-201 Setups

[DaveG28]

I guess this is for Alec and DC, got any setups for the 201 conversion yet, especially for Stotfold?

Thinking what springs/castor/rear toe etc?

Anyone good enough with pc's to sort a setup sheet? I am immensely serious about racing this year, may even write down my setups

Also, credit where it's due given my criticism of other matters in "that" thread, wow what a lovely bit of kit, can't wait to build it and give it a bash!

Hi Dave, glad it arrived ok and that you're impressed with the work.. I'm sure Dave or Alec will be along soon to help out.

Lewis built mine and I havent got a clue haha

I changed the rear link to the upper outer hole on the tower as Alec advised.

Apart from that the car was very good with a bog standard set-up.

Glad you like the car Amish, I'm sure you'll like driving it

Next for me is to arrange for routine maintainence to be done

Hi mate, i'm running the car at Stotfold on Sunday so if you can wait till then i'll give you the complete set up that I end up on.

I ran it after the meeting last week at Stotfold and to be fair it was very good so I doubt whether much will change.

I ran blue springs on the front, 35wt Losi oil, drilled 1.3 piston with the shocks on the middle hole on the wishbone. Rear was yellow springs with 30wt number 4 piston on the inner hole on the wishbone. I had the 3.0 alloy rear brace (up the correct way) and 1 degree alloy rear blocks. Schumacher yellow staggers on the front and yellow minispikes with the outside row off on the back. I ran the rear hubs furthest back.

A couple of things I have changed are the slipper pads (associated white) and the slipper spring which i've changed for a Schumacher one (cheers Trish) as I don't find the Tamiya one to be much good when you're looking for fine adjustments.

I ran about 40 grams of brass under the servo and a 36 gram piece under the speedo/receiver with no weight under the lipo. I'm going to try the weight under the lipo on Sunday and also more under the speedo/receiver so i'll let you know how that all goes, hope this helps
