RB6 grass setup advise

[Chris Elworthy]

Hi lads I wonder if any of you could help me?

I've had the RB6 for around 2 months now and it's hands down the best 2wd I've ever driven, suits me perfectly in dry conditions. Due to the great weather of the past few months I've driven the car exclusively in high grip conditions until yesterday where I raced on a dry yet cut up grass track similar to the track for our North West regional next Sunday.

I found the car very loose to say the least and would have to wait til I was perfectly straight before applying the power. I tried different tyre combinations through the day BB white rear/schu green minispikes, Bb green minsipikes/schu green spikes, schu yellow minispikes/yellow LP cut staggers and didnt feel much difference...none of these tyres were brand new however.

I was wondering if people could give me a few pointers as to what I could change to suit a cut up grass track starting with tyres?

Here is a breakdown of my current setup:

Front:

Core 450 oil/Losi black spring/standard piston
Shock middle on tower/inner wishbone
30deg kickup/0deg caster
Camber link: middle on tower 1mm spacer/ 1mm spacer on C hub.

Rear:

Core 350 oil/losi yellow spring/standard piston
Shock second to inside on tower/outer on (rb6 gullwing) wishbone
2deg anti squat
Camber link: inner on tower 0mm spacer/ middle on hub 2mm spacer

Gecko RC (Carl Latham) under lipo weight kit and aluminium rear bulkhead.

The rest of the setup such as wheelbase etc is as kit.


My mate who also runs the RB6 gave up and ran his rear motored RB5 for the final yesterday with success, would it be worth considering switching my 6 to rear motor for this grass event?


All help is appriciated
