Hi Nick,

Yeh, I'm booked in for Chadderton. There will be an 8.5T in the RB5 by then. Just hope you guys are right, and it's going to make all the difference.

Certainly can't make me any worse LOL

Colin

It will make a big difference buddy... much easier for you to drive especially with your nitro fingers!

I wanted to watch both yours and Robs cars on sunday, but had my work cut out trying to get mine to work for me..

Nick,

Made a few changes throughout the day:-

1) Changed shock oils to 400wt Fr and 300wt Rr. (Kyosho oils)
2) Removed the spacers from the under the inner camber link , front and rear.
3) Changed the rear inner camber link to the middle position

All seemed to help the car rotate more - either that, or it was just my thumbs that were beginning to adjust to the black art of 1/10th 2wd electric

Good... at least you feel like your heading somewhere in the right direction more change at chadderton then, or shoudl we say fine tuning!!

TBH between Worksop and Chadderton i didnt change much at all..

I take it we are only talking about a completely smooth track surface? If so I'd be tempted with anti roll bars also. NEVER off road though, can make things a little unpredictable.

i beg to differ on that roger i race a bury which is very bumpy and always use a 1.1mm roll bar ive tried all the roll bars and ive found things only start getting unpredictable when you use 1.3mm and above the 1.1 roll bar makes it feel a little more stable and helps it rotate just nicely on wet astro inconjunction with the rear roll bar i use the 2 nobble spacer under law36 and 4 nobble spacer under law37 and it cruises over the bumps and it very flat and not nervous down a very bumpy straight

Roll Bars are we swaering now lol

Yeah was have been thinking of roll bars but i have never run at chadderton before. Is there much of difference in surface compared to Worksop?

Yeah Colin you will be suprised in the difference in running a 8.5t than that bloody 5.5t you was running

I know Nick will be swearing at me but also adding some more weight to car will help you aswell.

I'm running Ghea front bulkhead, 52G under the servo, 20G behind the servo & 51G under the lipo car is brilliant so easy to drive. Hell i was having more fun with the 2wd than 4wd in the one run i had at Worksop

Matt .. if ARBs work for you mate then use them to your advantage. When I first got the FS I used ARBs 95% of the time and only really started to get what I wanted from the car once I removed them.

If you think Bury is bumpy come to "Car Killer" Coventry .... Bury is like a sheet of fresh glass in comparison
