The only motors I've heard of not fitting are the Trinity Duo 2 and The Tekin G2 cans.

Hi all,
I have done many back to back tests between the A700L and the Evo (i have both). With exactly the same setup on rollcenters, damping etc. the Evo is harder to drive than the L, is edgy to drive and slides more.
The FFG works free, so there is no mechanical problem.
Does anybody here know what changes are to be made when switching from the L to the Evo?
I have a similar question about changing the setup when switching from tires with a bigger diameter (e.g Ride 32) to some with a smaller diameter (Ride REX34). What changes do you make in this case? Highering the Rollcenter because of the smaller diameter which also changes the angle of the lower arms maybe? I tried this and it didn't really convice me.
Cheers

So I've had my car for a week and I've noticed that the rear of the chassis drags the carpet pretty consistently on mine. I'm running Kody's setup from '14 carpet nats with a 5.5 ride height and the rub is pretty consistently showing from the motor back, the width of the chassis. Is that normal?

sweep 28's on carpet. I get major rub on the sweeper side by the front wheel that thins out to the motor. but from the motor back the whole rear is black filthy mess.

Make sure you haven't broke 1 or both of the SPR02 (shock rod guide). Otherwise your way to soft on the rear spring or your ride height is way to low. Ride height should be set around 5.5mm to accommodate the weight of your body. Also make sure the screw in the back of the dampener is tight. I like to loosen and re-tighten everyone once in a while just in case.

Salesman all the way baby....lol....ahahah...... Once you put a 2.5t boosted in there, it does not matter whether it's EVO or not....ahahah...... Ignore me later...lol....
Why is Mark Burt ahead of Hanulec ??? Is it because he runs the EVO2 ???....Maybe the EVO3....ahahah.... Just sayin guys, don't catch a heart attack reading this please.... You guys know I'll be beating Perez and Hanulec with my tc4 at Critters next year too.... So please run what you have, and Work on your driving skills first....... Peace in Ukraine...lol.......

[QUOTE=L.Fairtrace;13203943]IMO there is no other choice than the EVO. For me it was a night and day difference over the L.[/QU

I'll take a look at it when I get back to the track. I'm waiting on some other parts to come in anyway.
Thanks Brent

Setup and some info from Freddy:
" ....I tested L chassis, alloy chassis and raceberry hard chassis.
All three chassis had simliar laptimes but I felt most confident with the raceberry chassis. Second choice would be the alloy and third L.
As I ran out of time I concentrated on the Raceberry and changed the setup a lot. Best noticeable change was to go with thicker anti roll bars. I use now 1.4 in front and 1.3 in rear. This made the car more consistent...."
