ZX5 FS2 SP

[slow coach]

Just wondering if there is a tunning guide to the zx5, like what settings it has in kit form rear toe in caster etc and what the options would change it to, after building the MP9 TKI2 and seeing the useful setting guide that comes with that car it was a bit of a dissapoinment to find no information for the ZX5, any info would be appreciated

The ZX5-FS2(sp) doesn't do anything odd at all, all the adjustments do exactly what you would expect. My only warning is that the car is very responsive to setup changes so small steps can make big differences on the track ... take it easy.
The car generates a lot of both rear traction and steering so nothing radical needed, just throw it down and enjoy it

If there is anything specific then shout and we'll do our best to explain.

thanks for the links thats exactly what i needed, I have just built the sp kit and followed the manual but had no idea what i was setting it as and what the inserts would do as there is none of that within the manual.

one further question what pinion for a GM 6.5t with dualsky 850 ESC im guessing the kit offering will be a bit undergeared, our track is small a few jumps but not many and normally in the summer dry and very dusty (not this year yet mind) kit spur gear.

Try a 22 or 23t to begin with and see how it goes.

OK test time, so if im correct and i hope i am the sp is built kit setting with 2.5 deg rear toe in, also am i right that depending on the suspension bushes used you also change the rear track width so for example the kit is

front BB in, rear EE out, 2.5 toe in with a wide rear track (Max track for 2.5 being AA/FF out)

if i changed to front FF in, Rear AA, i would get the same Toe but reduce the rear track width by approx 3mm thats a quick guess mind you but hopefully near enough correct.

just getting my head round it at the moment, will move on to anti squat and kick up later on lol

cheers for now Jason

sorry should of also mentioned we run LIPO and normally try and get 2 runs out a pack, we are a small club with normally a dozen or so racing and i just cannot justify the cost of extra packs at the moment, just got some new ones GM 5600 60C i think, would this make the 2X 5 minute runs ok
