Tip: If your blue seals of the bearing are popping out, try slightly smashing (flatning) them. They will then snap into place.

Thats a great tip but I am still needing the bearing size

SpeedFreak

The bearing you want is a 10x15 flanged bearing

I moved my batteries out in the back because thats what the other Mi2's at my track were doing. I put a large shock clip on my threaded shock coller so I could run my xray springs. When I did that it made an incredible difference. I dont really know why but the car was so much better. I also get lots of tuning options now too. Now that the car will handle, I can fine tune the set up more.

On MO's parking lot setup it says he shimmed up the suspention plates .8mm is that with the stock 2mm plate then the .8mm or plate removed and .8mm?
Thanks

Wow not much chat going on in here.

As a new owner of the schuie i am still trying to play around with things, i have taken part of Mo's setup and tried the arms in the rear position, and i can say it made a massive improvement, too much in fact, so i will now have to change some other things, but it turned the car into a steering demon, i hope i can get a balance with this setting as i think it has a lot of potential. we race on Foams outdoors on unprepared tracks, so getting a lot of smooth steering is paramount.

I was a little disapointed though with the steering rack, i brushed up against a pipe and it broke the bellcrank. is this a common occurence? the venue was extremely cold, but i would have thought being from UK cold would not affect their material much.

I would imagine that most of the guys who are helpful here are preparing for the reedy right now.

besercoe: Cool weather might have cause your bellcrank to brake or u hit hard at the corner to break. what kind of foam are u runing?

Besercoe

I use and distribute GRP Based foam, in either the Champion, Ellegi or Fast brands. (all are same, just repackaged)

RC Old Man; the .8 shims were on top of the stock riser plate.

Besercoe: the most likely reason the bellcrank broke would be that the servo saver spring may be overtightened. Try backing it off a bit. I've never heard of one of those breaking.
Where are you trying to get traction? Off power, On power or all around?

I generally find it difficult to get enough off power steering while maintaining a balanced rear end, the track we race on is low-med grip asphalt, with a mix of fast and slow tight corners. with my previous car i liked to have a very planted (firm) rear end for the high speed stuff, with a medium front end so that it can dive in hard, i was thinking that with the front arms in the rear position, i could maintain a more consistent F to R feel, yet still achieve the agressive characteristics.

At this time i am still playing with the car, as there are quite a few new adjustments that were different on the old car. But so far i am pleased with the amount of corner speed it carries, and the drivetrain is very free, but quite prone to picking up debris.

I will check the preload on the saver, how far from the top of the thread should it be wound down?

racerdx6

I had mine screwed down too far so there wasnt much movement before the spring closed completly. I drifted out wide in a sweeper and wacked the wall and even though the spring wasnt hard to compress, it just compressed all the way and broke the steering servo (bottom part, left side). So I now have mine about 1mm or less from the top. But its not so much the steering is squishy.
