Arrow Strickly Setup



How about a forum entry only for discussing rc Setup theory and principals?
I know all car owners discuss it in their particular make tread, but I mean discussing the theory of handeling and setup as suppose to setup for a particular car...?

Any takers

Elvo website is The reference with every bit of details about vehicle dynamics.

I use to give this reference book also as it is simplier, you can bring it with you and it is made for beginner but helpful for everyone: RC Handbook. I'm thinking about doing an update with some lines about BL and on an internal ratio chart for buggies. If so, check this page, I will delete the previous version.

Thanks for the link,

Don't know what you mean" lines about BL " ?

The thing is, sometimes all the info is just to much with all the variables, so I get lost and can't make up my mind about what adjustment would be the best option for a certain problem?

Please think about his and give me your explination:

**You are racing your 4WD buggy on astro turf and all is good. During the Qualifiers you fall behind, you sum up the problem to not keeping enough corner speed. Now, lets assume you only want to adjust your shock springs.... do you go harder or softer on the spring rate to keep more speed in the corners?***

Take into concideration all the effects you will have on the buggy as a whole by adjusting the spring rate. I know you would need more info to make an informed decision, so please humour me.

Thx
