old carpet rcr

I looked last night, there is a little notch cut out of the case for the older part no. Didn't make a difference as my inner camber links weren't touching. Thanks for enlightening me, it was driving me crazy not knowing why the two different part numbers. My OCD.

building my car finally this weekend.

for the guys/casper/ryan running shortys.

with liking the placement 1 pad back of full forward,

does that mean 1 pad in frt - shorty- 7 pads in rr?

just seems like a lot all fwd? I get that the sweet spot for a lot, but looking for clarity on best starting point.

Yes. They are the same as the 3.0 factory ones but red. At least my blue ones are.

What kind of motor and speed control and battery for IERC raceway?

I ran the converted all summer along with a few other guys before the E came out. Everybody agrees that the true E 3.0 has much more steering and more nimble. It's better in every way, but the converted is still a great car. You can always get the E chassis and parts.

For all you guys running the light set ups (T8i and shorty's) are you going to a lighter spring or sticking with stock?

I've been using the shortys for a couple of weeks. I was running them all the way back with a double foam block in front to keep them from moving around.

Had a discussion with several other drivers about how the buggy pulls a wheelie out of most every corner now, which didn't bother me, but apparently was way more visible from ground level. LOTS of weight transfer now with the motor and the battery behind the virtual center/center diff line which, again, was fine with me but seems to be of some concern to others.

The shorty pack won't slide forward very far, or very easily, because of the velcro straps - you can only move it about 3/8" forward before the + & - power output cables are under the strap. So it's either put the battery dead center in the big battery tray or all the way back.

My Viper ESC was giving me all sorts of trouble last night, so I never really got any good laps in. As always, it'll be a state of continuous trial and error. I'm still using the stock springs, just raised a bit on the shock collar to set the ride height at 29mm up front and 27 in the back.

ride height is generally always lower in the front (27mm front and 29mm rear)

I'm running the T8i setup at 3400g exactly with a light 4s. Plan on switching to SMC 4s shorties to drop another 40g. But right now, I did switch to silver all around. My local track generally has small sharp bumps (indoor high bite clay), I found with stock setup the wheels were bouncing off the track and losing grip naturally. Tried Drakes suspension setup with greens all around, obviously worse. Tried 35f and 32.5r, no change to wheels bouncing off track. Too high of spring frequency, so with silvers and no change to fluid wt. problem fixed. Over shooting jump will chassis slap naturally but hitting the jumps right is name of the game anyway.

I can say that I typically run a chassis flat to the front height higher.

Don't you find lose of on power steering with a higher front ride height? I know it'll make a calmer buggy especially in rough sections.

I'm having a little bit of an issue with consistency while running the car. I have reamed all arms slightly and have squeezed the rod ends in order to free them up.

At the beginning of a run, my car is extremely plush and smooth. By the end of the run, it seems like my car is slightly bound up and not as smooth. Once I pinch the rod ends again and clean dust/debris off, the car is smooth again. My car is still relatively new with four complete race days on it, but I assumed that it would be properly broken in by now.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix my problem, or do I just need to continue to run the car until it develops more slop?

Thanks,
Hunter

One of my buddies switched to the 8ight 2.0 camberlinks since the 3.0 are extremely tight.
