basic indoor 210 setup

[losichris]

hi guys, i know theres loads of setup sheets on the durango site, but they arnt working for me. Im looking for a nice and easy basic setup for indoor carpet, with fairly large jumps.

At present im running 1.3/4 32.5w dark red front 1.3/5 30w light green rear ( losi oils)

Car feels very very unsafe, have no confidence over small or large jumps, been experimenting with wings too, had one with full gurney cut ( front end lifted) and now running with full gurney on ( slightly better)

Looking at the online setup sheets, alot of drivers are running totally different setups, and i dont really know what to commit to and try out.

Just want something thats going to be balanced ever jumps, and where i dont have to brick myself everytime i run over a jump, plus its that bad, ive only finished 4 of 9 races with it so far, due to things popping off or breaking!!!

And would like to add, i dont regard myself a novice driver, im just a bit lazy when it comes to car setups.

Thanks in advance
Chris

Are your oils not alittle to thin for carpet? there maybe afew more carpet setups floating around after the weekend from drivers that are doing the mkgp. :-)

I use this one but have thickened up the oil and a little harder springs.
A little droop all round as well.

Not sure if you have already tried it but here is a link to my setup from Taplow. The track was quite small but very high grip carpet.

The car felt balanced and easy to drive plus when i added the 66g weight under the lipo it became super safe.

If you have any questions then please ask

Ran this setup today, felt very safe. However the track was 50/50 carpet and wood floor( v slippy) Added 15g to the rear tower and extended the rear links, and went down to 35w oil in the rear, as well as straightened the shock positions. Seemed to improve slightly, but not alot.
Any advice for increasing grip on polished floors?
Cheers

Try putting the full 4.5 degree of toe in on the rear wheels using the plus 1.5 tubes. Make sure you put them in the correct way!
