Cub86 posted the question: Hi. I'm struggling to understand the lay down situation. I run on high bite damp smooth clay and think the conversation would help on my surface but from what I'm reading I need to buy the lay down kit tlr338004. And the dirt gear case tlr332063. But do I really need both from what I've read the dirt case is 1-2mm higher anyway and u don't use the +3mm hubs or the front pivot hrc or Hrc mod. So is the dirt lay down kit tlr332063 is all that's needed to get me a lay down set up that's suited for clay With the components and car I already have. And if I only get the dirt case is there any problems that will need to be addressed IE.. bone plunge . I do know I'll need 1mm spacers on the waterfall to clear the battery. Thanks guys really trying to get my head around this.
Franks response: Laydown Conversion will work great by itself. You run the aluminum +3mm hubs, the diff is +3.5mm, and you run the HRC front setup. Just follow a setup sheet from tlracing.com (Frank Root). Dirt Tranny has the diff at the same height as the standard tranny case, and works with the standard plastic hubs. Both are +/- 0mm from stock. When you run this, no need to run the HRC front mod either. I've found the stock laydown conversion parts to work great for most tracks. The dirt tranny is a great tuning option, but definitely not 'required'. K.King Something I made, pretty basic. Just to give people an idea.

The downers are it moves the motor so far forward and winds up being a heavier gear combo to spin. Though you may want the weight forward depending on your track surface. Lots of combos will get you the same effective ratio.

I'd wager spur gears differ in weight less than pinions, and they do spin at a reduced speed.

Side note: why don't 1/10 scale kits have droop screws like 1/8 scale and even touring cars?
Thanks as always, Frank.

It might add some weight to the car, but currently droop is a set-it-and-forget-it setting for me because I can't easily switch back and forth. It would be awesome to have though; use it all the time as a tuning aid on my SCTE.

With the old XXX shocks, I used plastic washers with a small section cut out so that I could remove the cartridge and clip/remove spacers to make the adjustment. Was faster than disassembling everything.

Okay, I started getting confused earlier between more droop and more limiters. I'm totally straight now. So the problem is that the rear is rolling more than the front? Would decreasing rear droop (by adding limiters in the shocks) accomplish the same thing. I am on super high-bite carpet and have excess traction.

The rear isn't rolling more. The weight is trying to roll over the outside front, and it is coming from the inside front and inside rear. When the inside front stops rolling because it runs out of [down] travel, then the only way to roll over the outside front is the inside rear... which helps lift that tire.

Seems as though the easiest way to play with droop with the lack of droop screws is to add the limiters to limit the droop then if more droop is needed, unscrew the shock ends up to a couple/few turns.
I'd like to see droop screws on 1/10 buggies too and also don't know why they don't exist.
As mentioned, 1/10 touring cars have em.

That may be a limiting factor to the sedan style droop screws on dirt tracks.

Because when you limit droop, you compromise landing and bump handling.

When the inside front stops rolling because it runs out of [down] travel, then the only way to roll over the outside front is the inside rear... which helps lift that tire.

Would doing other things to combat roll be effective as well? As we have way too much traction, I don't need weight transfer to get bite on my outside corner. So perhaps lowering the inside of the front camber links?
I think I also need to smooth my driving style through the sharp corners. I seem to be doing more of a hard braking, turn, punch it out type of driving. It's the way I drive a rear motor on a really loose surface... which is exactly the opposite of my setup and surface now.

TLR 22 3.0 Chassis
Do you know if everything from the 2.0 will bolt onto the 3.0 chassis? I'm fairly certain the front bulkheads are the same, just not sure about the rear.
