Hi all,
I'm happy to report that the new big bore shocks do fit on the car even at the rear with longest wheelbase! It does come close to the springs, but the body doesn't rub on the turnbuclkes which was my main concern. This is only if you use the forward holes on the aluminium hubs and forward holes on the inner holders though. However we always use these on high grip, and on low grip there is no clearance issue with the wishbones flipped... Now for the shocks, they've managed to better the velvets! There's now an o-ring at the base of the thread for the small black cartridge cap, which means it's not going to unscrew itself anymore, and they provide X-rings as standards. Pistons are 5 x 1.2mm holes, wich big chamfers on both sides but not really tapered. X-Gear springs are very nice and have quite a bit of clearance over the bodies so they're not gonna rub either. I have already calculated the spring rates...

Hi Paul,
Im doing the Chadderton series aswell. Im also doing the Worksop series and the first round is next Sunday. Will be working on the car to try and get a base set up for this surface, so by the time Batley starts we should have a good starting point. Come over and see me on the day if you need any help. Craig

about the extra wheight: I'll post a picture of my car later on.
I used the Ghea-brass-toe and antisquat-parts. I also drilled holes behind the battery on the left and right side of the motor, beveled it and bolted some drilled weights onto the chassis. AT first I used double-sided tape to glue those weights but they kept on getting loose after hard landings (or crashes  )I tried to get a 64% weight on the rear tires and that got my car very well balanced. Some questions, Fabs: 1. I just wonder, what are the benefits of Bigbore shocks? If your shocks are tuned right, they should just do the job: dampening bumps, bigbore or not ... or am I wrong here? Is there a difference? 2. About those Bigbore shocks: what is the "wheel-rate" of a shock?? Actually, I found this document about the BB-shocks: http://www.petitrc.com/setup/kyosho/...WheelRates.pdf but I don't understand it. 3. could it be possible that you forgot my spare shocktowers?4. I would also like to buy 2 top link holders. Mine are bent in a severe crash. Frontal crash into a concrete pole after being hit by another car while I was on a long sthraight at full speed  )5. count me in for a saddle conversion-kit as well. and last question: 6. How many kits do you still have, Fabs? If I find the budget, I might buy a spare one.

Big bores handle bumpy tracks much better than the standard diameter. The downside is that they are less responsive. Basically its a trade-off manufacturers make when designing their shocks

 I'll have a look at having more made but it could be a while and not sure I can have them anodised at a decent price either.. No I ain't forgotten your towers but yeah I have Big Bores seem to handle any sort of bump better, be them small ruts or a big jump. It has to do with the amoun of pack I believe, but also the volume of oil displaced seems to have a role as otherwise you could get the same effect with smaller shocks. The wheel rates relate to the rate of the springs seen at the wheel of the car. It depends on the spring's rate of course, but also on the suspension geometry. Basically wheel rates are more important than spring rates IMHO because they show exactly what you really are doing with the setup, especially if you're playing with the different holes on the wishbones.

Alright guys,
GREAT NEWS ! The remaining gearboxes have been sent out to me so I'll be able to send the kits to everyone probably early next week. Unless you've been in touch recently (last week) could you please get in touch with me if you want a kit as I must admit I've lost track of who wants one and who doesn't anymore etc... As for spares we need to make a new mold so it'll take some time. Fabs
