My DB1.2 set up help

[lee.willows]

Gents,

Ran my shorty converted DB1.2( my name for car). And the car was awesome, but i was loading a bit of on power steering and also mid corner. Can anyone help?

My car set up is,

Front
Rb5 front end. Outside hole on c hubs middle inboard end. 2mm infront of c hub, 1 mm under steering block, 1 mm of spacer under hinge pin block, 30 deg on block. Middle on tower, outer on wishbones. 5 gram in bulkhead, shocks are 3c light yell springs, 27.5 wt ae oil. Ride height 18 mm

Rear
mid wheel base, b in f out,3 pip under rf hinge pin block. Outer position on b type hubs, outer in board, wing low, shocks 3c orange springs 32.5 wt ae oil. 1 mm under camber link inboard 2 mm outer end. Rid height 18 mm

20 gram spine weight.

I think that is it, was thinking of trying a rear roll bar? Was racing on low to med traction track. On yellow mini spikes all round.

Any help you can give is appreciated

Cheers

Lee

Gents,

Ran car at Worksop and it was not very good. It was very loose coming on power, lack of mid corner and finally no turn in off power.

I am at a lose, set up is as above, no variations at all.

Can someone help me with some advise

Cheers
Lee

I'm not a kyosho drive but a few bits on the setup scream wrong at me, for one, switch the oils, if its dumping the nose part of the issue is your front oils are softer than the rear, as its mid motor, maybe even try 32 1\2 all round. Also take the weight out the nose, there a couple of things then I'm sure the kyosho guys can help with the rest

Cheers mate will change oils and ditch the front weight also. And try again

Hi mate, I built a Yokomo car similar to what you have. I gave mine a try at Worksop and was useless. I'm pretty sure you will struggle to get a front motor 2wd to work on that surface.

On high grip I'd imagine it would be awesome.

I would try the following:

1mm spacer on top of front hinge pin holder,
Silver front springs,
32.5 front oil

Rear 27.5 oil
remove outer 2mm spacer

What spacers are you using on front camber link?
