xxx-cr ... racing off road for the first time this weekend

[Alan Reeves]

Hi, thanks for looking

I intend on taking my losi xxx to bury metro this sunday. (indoor)

I have never raced off road before!

Some questions about setting the car for racing... (I will also post some of this bit in the Bury metro forum so beware of repeated info)

How should I set my car? Its in pieces at the minute!

I have all available shock springs, orange,red,black pistons, few different size spurs and pinions from 14t to 30t,

Tyres... some rear spike, soft pin and some softer "fuzzies" (square profile with loads of treads) and front ribbed or spike or soft (red?) compound mini pin type.

Also I have a gear diff and tranny case off a truck which is supposed to fit, is it worth building this up over the ball diff? and what oil should I use in it?

Cheers
Alan
