The very fastest cars are on foam however rubbers are very fast also, especially once the grip comes up.

Last race meeting I went to was an indoor carpet club meeting, I TQ'd and set the fastest laptimes with a 19T brushed motor and rubber tyres, against cars running modified motors and foams.

Now I am not going to claim that I am any good as a driver, nor am I going to claim that the opposition was world class, but these are good club drivers whom I have always been on a similar pace to, and foams were no advantage for them at all.

What do you guys do to make them fit?
Do you flip the wishbone arond and move the suspension lin 1 hole further in on the arm?

( if you flip it you will se there are 2 holes instead of one)

What to do???
And will those changes effect handling?

I only ran foams once in my life and to be honest i didn't like it. They require a totally different setup to rubber and as sosidge said, there isn't much difference in lap times, and you have to true them and they chunk etc...

My advice is, if you're a newbie, stick to rubber, pick my setup and run a reasonably slow motor to start with, if you want to run 5-cell then i suggest a 6.5T as this is equivalent in power to a good 19T.

I will be running in the superstock class with the 19T brushed or 10,5 T brushless.
Those are the options i have regarding motors but I stuck with the 10,5T brushless.
Was really going for the 4,5T but too fast for my skills.

Can't garantee that my setup will work with 6-cells but i'd still use it as a base setup.

[Fred79]

I will
Tnx again Fabs.

Hi,

Karl Marsden asked me to pop by and see if I can help on Shin setups

I have a few, but the last one seems to be working well indoors and outdoors and is for 6 cell 10.5 and 6.5. Easy to drive and a good baseline to work from.

Cheers Dave for helping out with some of the guys questions.

Dave has been running the Shin with some great results, 3rd at the KO GP, shoing that the car has potential and just needs running like most of our competitaion kits in the UK market.

Any questions, drop him a PM or post a thread and we will do our best to help you TC boys.

I guess with oople just being soooo good, you can't help but chat on here! Keep up the great work Jimmy!

Hi guys,

Here's a link to my setup from Carpet Wars round 2, which I used to qualify and finish 3rd last week end in 10.5/lipo.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Setup is the correct one now.
