preparing my cat?

[lewis666]

hi there,

i am going to get my car ready for the first round of my local regionals and i need a few tips on getting the car ready. i was going to rebuild diffs clean everything check shocks. what else should i do?

also my shocks seem to let alot of oil out. i have a phil booth edition and i recently rebuild the shocks with new seals and there is quite alot of oil at the shock bottom what could i do?

and lastly my car seems to struggle with turn in what could i do to improve this? i was using blue minispikes and using Grant Williams setup but could my servo not be up for the job it is a savox 1290MG with 5kg of power is it strong enough? what could i do setup wise?

many thanks

checking / replacing the belts might be something to look at doing.

Not raced mine outdoors yet, but thought yellow mini spikes were the tyres to use?

Try team associated green slime on shock orings mine were fine after i did mine

if your shocks are leaking oil then theres something wrong, check on line for a build guide from schuy, its on there site,and replace all internal shock parts,yellow tires will make a massive difference to turn in , and as already said check belts

i have recently replaced all seals and used it once and they still leak. i will order some green slime and use that to see if that helps. went to my local model shop today and got myself some green minispikes and some medium inserts is that a good tire choice?

many thanks

Depends on what surface you run on and the track conditions

i wouldnt use green slime personally where abouts is it leaking from the shocks at the top or on the cap at the bottom , but the green minispikes should really be run on wet tracks as they arnt very good on dry tracks
