superstox advise

[tisher]

just run my superstox last night built to the book running 13.5 on a blinky setting the car was near impossible to drive it was awful. It veered of every time you tried to put any power down it was really snappy into every corner.

In rd2 I moved the rear springs to the outside setting buried even more additive on the back car still kicked all over the place like a bad set up dave but was slightly better.

So rd3 I put some toe in on the front turned down my throttle curve to -100% and turned my steering epa down to 50 it was better then but still a lap off the pace.

At the moment I am a bit disheartened with it and thinking of going back to the dave as it would have been quicker with its stock g12 than this.

So has anyone got any tips on stopping the back end from kicking all over when putting any sort of power down and stop it being so snappy on the corners all advise would be great cheers

Throw away the kit front tyres. Use 60 or 50 shore tyres. Check your ride height, set it for 4mm. I've gone harder on the front springs, and am going to try a harder rear spring tonight. Use the middle holes on rear pod. I initially ran without Orings in the links, but run them now.

The kit fronts are very grippy, i changed mine for 50's. I also changed my servo position to as far back as i could get it to make it less snappy. The steering on my radio is only set to 70% as well.

Are you running the diff or not? With diff mine is a dream to drive, without i have to run the softest O rings under the links, i didn't like it with no O ring at all.

I can say honestly say that mine was as quick out of the box (with diff) as a well set up dave.

i run kit tyres all round with no issues

two things to check, double chech the link length of the turnbuckle infront of motor pod, this must be correct to the book, and what gear ratio are you running, i run 30/70 on a small track as the rear stepped out on power if a low gear ratio was used, not the only on to find this

yes this is important! I forgot that one.
Even with that critical adjustment set right, mine did used to pull sometimes on acceleration depending on carpet and direction of the pile. That went away when I got the diff.

much better last night guys managed to get 4th place even tho I was leading until I was took out on numerous occasions.
Really struggled with the core rc esc the reverse does not seem to want to come in quick enough ended up doing a 20sec lap on a 11 sec track in the final because of it.
Is there any escs that don't have a delay for reverse.
Another thing tho there seems to be alot of cars that are quicker by long way compared to mine is there any way to make it quicker with out cheating

lots of clubs/nationals dont allow reverse.
see if there running blinky, if not add some timing

so even if you ramp up the timing on the motor you are still within the rules I think I might do that next week Nice one

Hi guys,Just bought a SupaStox and will be running it in 2S 21.5T.Just a few questions for those of you with more experience of these cars really.

1) I'll be running this on a fairly open track (30M straight). What rollout should I be looking at? 70-ish MMPR?

2) What sort of tyre diameters do you go for? Where do you start from? 51mm on the rear?

3) What tyre diameter split do you run rear to front? 2.5mm? 3.5mm?

4) What shells work? My current thinking is to go with the Ascari.

5) I've noticed that my steering blocks are a tight fit onto the metal steering posts. What were your solutions? Should I just file it out a little with a needle file or is there a better way?

Cheers folks, looking forward to seeing what these cars can do.Joe
