1) Motor seems to be getting a bit hot does this mean i need a fan or some holes in the shell if so where so water does not get in

2) Went to formby indoor today - high grip track with an Ellis setup and at first the front wheel was lifting under power - any pointers would be greatfully received

i bet you ran 4 degrees anti-squat. that'll be why it was trying to wheelie Jamie

What anti squat do you run stan

[Kopite]

it fully depends on the setup of other parts on the car mate. But if you run loads of anti-squat, then instead of the rear of the car squatting on acceleration, it'll want to wheelie. I'd use 4 degrees of anti-squat if the rear dampers were set really soft, and the anti-roll bar was used.

If you were to run a stiffer rear end, you might want to get rid of some of the anti-squat to balance it out again

it's all about testing mate, getting the setup right for you, not copying other people's setup all the time

ps - the above is only my view, it may or may not work for you. test test test

Cheers mate I'll take it on board at the moment I have just put everything together and now need to tweak for my style of driving - got so much to test and so little time

I use Losi shocks, but some of the guys at my local club have been testing with associated shocks with losi pistons and they seem to work very well indeed.

I have not found the need to alter the squat on mine, if the clutch is working properly it wont wheelie anyway, unless you really unsettle the car.

As Stan says tho, it's a preference thing, I like to be able to loosen the rear end by letting off the gas although it can be a little un-nerving as the rear end can feel like it is moving sideways with more anti squat. If you prefer the rear end to feel locked in and carry more speed through the corner less anti squat may work for you.

What bits/parts do you need to fit an Anti-Roll bar to an X6?

[_sleigh_]

Mark, I'm using most of the hardware from the XXX rear roll-bar with a custom wire. Thinkness varies a little between each racer, but you want go far wrong with a selection between 0.9mm and 1.4mm. It'll mainly depend on the piano wire you can get locally.
