Question Xray T2009 Setup for low traction polished wood floor?

Anyone got a good setup for Xray T2009:

- polished wood floors low traction
- indoor track small mixed and leaning toward technical
- using control tyres: 20mm schumacher yellow mini pins on 20mm wheels
- shock spring seem too loose when lowering for a 5mm ride height, can I just change shock position?
- should the diff be looser? When I hold one wheel and the spur should the opposite turn or be very hard to turn?
- I've got a 24 pinion on an 84 spur for a 13.5 LRP eraser giving about 5:95. LRP recommend 6:00
- Oh and I'm running ball diffs front and back.
- Setup for LRP SXX TC Spec, my settings: 1,4,1,1.
- back end fish tails on corner exit too.... (is this called oversteer?)

any thoughts and advice?

Try a spool in the front and are you running the R9 body in the pic.
I had over steer problems with that body, my driving style did not get on with it. now race using dodge status and mazda 6 and getting on well.

Oh, I've been told by numerous people to use a front ball diff as it's more forgiving when learning how to drive. Minimise problems during an impact etc...

Default t2 handling

front diff on a small technical carpet circuit at DMS is better for me. Ive been using the new black roll centre holders at the back which lowers the rear roll centre calming the rear end which tends to be a bit frisky. Ive got thin roll bars too , perhaps you could try taking them off. HPI springs work better for me too ( silver/ gold). r9 shell is a complete no,no! mazda speed 6 is best for balance no doubt .hope this helps, Phil.

I have the R9-R and yes I have heard bad things about them, I'm too new to work out why, so any illumination would be great>>> on the other hand: Which is best from below?

- Dodge Stratus 3.0 All-Purpose Clear Body for 190mm
- DNA² Clear Body for 190mm

Default mini pins

Have to say not run with mini pins for years, do you cut outside row off the front ? in my experience it pays to follow the pace setters set ups re tyres even if they are running different chassis. r9 might be ok given a balanced tyre set up.

we run indoors on a polished wooden floor over the winter,ive found the best and most consistent to be the stratus 3 all-purpose,i have tried the mazda 6 and its not bad just found it could be a bit twitchy.have seen others use the dna2 and it looked good,but have no personnel experience of it.hope this helps
