Sworkz S104 Evo Thread

[hardijs]

on Sunday was my 2nd track time with my EVO...the last practice day before the first indoor race which will be after 2 weeks.

My practice time was divided in such a way, that it was track aviliable 2x10min per hour, so after 10min runtime I made next changes.
Starting setup:
Ride height: Front 16mm, Rear 17mm
Shock oils: Front 500cst, Rear 300cst,
Springs Yatabe Purple front and rear.
Plastic spacers which where intended to put between orings I put at schock a a shock limiters.
Diffs: Front 20k, Rear 15k, Center 500k
Tires: Wide stagger front and minipin 2 rear
All the rest setup- as per manual
ESC and motor from REDS 6.5t, pinion stock 19t


so following all your advices I made following changes:
1st change was:
Changed kit plastic wing to lexan wing with low cuted backside- car become much easer to drive, it kept line much better- I was surprised how big difference this change made.
Although best lap time (12.335sek) was the same as with kit wing, but medium lap times become better.
Maybe it because I used to track better (as it was a new layout for track again), but anyway with lexan wing feeling was much better.
2. Changed Yoko Purple springs to AE springs Purple Front and Yellow rear... not felt any difference...best lap time was even worse, but a little only (12.360sek), but I kept AE as I like better how car feels with those springs on table
3. Changed diff oil at center 500k to 300k.
car become a litle softer feeling, but not a huge difference again.
as best lap was almost the same (12.335sek) decided not to change oils at diff and kept this one for all rest of the day.
4. Put a long wheel base on car.
Squating reduced in the begining I even thought that this change is not good, but lap times showed that its better...best lap now was 12.264 and already several laps where around 12.40sek, so decided to keep also this mod.
5. As my cars rear was hited up after edgy ramps I decided to change shock oil at rear from 300cst to 400cst...again I not felt huge difference, but it seemed that its better now on these edgy ramps...and best lap time droped to 12.201sek.
6. Shortened rear uper link on inside hole on the hub.
WOW...this change was impresive...car allowed to push harder at the exit...Best lap time drops to 11.818sek...but as the 2nd best lap time was only 12.198sek so maybe 11.818sek lap was with some cutted corner but anyway car become much better after this change.
7. The lastly I changed tires, I was driving all the time minipin blue tires at rear and now I put a little worn mini pin 2 yellow tires - and now car was able to push even harder.
In the last two rounds I decided not to make any changes, but to enjoy the day...and help to my son with some advice, as he also drives new EVO.
The final round I ended with the best lap 11.878 as well with some other laps below12sek., so I was just a little slower than last year champ with his xb4`15, but yes, champ made those lap time more consistent, but anyway with my speed I should be able to fight for top3...after 2 weeks will see how the things will go at race.

Thank You to You all for help!
