Hi Jilles,

Thanks for the reply, its great that a team driver can take the time to answer questions, one of the main reasons i bought the 416WE.

I spoke with a few of the other drivers from this event (Aust titles) and a couple did try your TITC Worlds set up, but most agreed that running heavier shock oils made the car worse, some have told me they ran only 2 deg rear toe and 2mm of shims under the arms (roll centre change), can you please share your experiance with these changes on a hot track, thanks for your time.

Regards

Rhys

Also track temp of over 60 degree. All guys ran 700 or even 800Wt shockoil.
The HPI springs are still the best for asphalt. More things to avoid tyre overheating.

- raise front camber link from 5 to 6mm
- wider front, from c-c to d-d
- LTR body is not so suitable for extreme heat,
I prefer regular Mazda Speed 6.

Hope this helps as normally the Tamiya is the last car who has problems with overheating tyres!

I ended up running 40 weight oil with zero rebound and soft sway bars all round at the Aust Titles. Car was very well behaved and only over heated the tyres in one heat (Shortened the rear sway bar link)

I found that u needed to soften the car up to make it bite on that surface.

Jilles,
The Australian titles track was not covered in traction compound like the 2008 worlds track was, and Sweep 40's were used. Would that make a difference?

T4m1y4niac,

It was nice to meet you in Indonesia.
The race was really cool and I enjoyed it a lot! Especially after the race when we all race together!

Hi Jilles,

On behalf of Indonesian racers, I thank you for your participation to our 2009 Year-End Race.
Many drivers learned a lot from you and we have a great time during the race with you. Please stop-by again if you have time. .

And thanks for repairing my ESC! .

Hi Jill,

Need your advice base upon experiences on stock motor 11.5 T.

Of all the brands below how they fare against each other for example
1. Speedpassion
2. Team Power
3. Orca
4. Team Orion.

To what I was told Team Power stock motor has more torque? What about the others. I do believe they have some plus points too.


Thanks,

Hi everyone.

What does installing o-rings on the shock shaft like on this picture of Victor Wilcks' car do?

I thought it was used to set rebound. They keep you pushing the shock shaft up all the way while screwing on the lid...
