Default Astro setup help! - wet & Dry

Hi There

Just wandering if anyone could help me with a setup
for kidderminser or coventry?
Its the 1st time ive used the x6 on astro and i found it undriveable.
The back end just kept kicking up and couldnt find any grip at all.
Tried so many different tyres etc.

Can anyone help?

Have a look to this thread, tons of information and setups. Ellis'setup is probably the best to begin with.

The Ellis UK setup sheet should have been included in the kit, if you follow this exactly you should be pretty much bang on, all the team guys use this setup pretty much everywhere.

One thing to pay special attention to is the weights, a big part of the X-6 squared setup is getting the weight up and getting weights in the correct area of the car to give a good balanced setup.

If you bought the car new then you should have all this info in your kit, otherwise you will find it on the 'Tech' page of the X-factory site or on Petitrc.com as Arno suggests

The Boyz will correct me if I'm wrong. First, don't ever run 6 cells across the back, you've got to run 4 + 2. Then, get the weight the same as the LiPo set-up and you should be good to go.
