Foams1

[i4n]

Hi All,

First day of racing today at my club and we are now using foams as control tyres instead of rubber.

Well it was pants! I could not get any kind of decent setup at all. I know with foam you have to stiffen to get grip but I have not idea of how much etc. The fron was gripping good but the back was just sooooooo loose it was more like driving a drift car.

I'm running a Cyclone and have had a look through the pages and can't find anything remotely like a setup. Does anyone have a foam tyre Cyclone setup they could send me, it would be highly appreciated!

My current setup up is (best I could get it):

Gecko 32 shore all round (control) trued to 58mm

Front:

50 Wt oil.
HPI Purple Spring
Second hole in from the inside on the tower and outside on the wishbone
Differential
2.5mm anti-roll bar


Rear:

40 Wt oil
HPI Purple spring
Second hole from the outside on the tower and outside on the wishbone
No anti-roll bar

I'm thinking about going back to basics (one of Andy Moore's winning setup's for rubber and adjusting everything slowly but I'm not sure of this is the correct way to go or not).


I think I might just stick to my buggy - it's more fun!

Cheers,

Ian
