Yes exactly the same as the rear

A little while back I was thinking of changing to yoke but I have waaaay to many spare parts to change brands. Raceberry is best of both worlds

Dont you mean Tamiya and Yokomo and Serpent lol

I saw a few running yesterday (UK) the feeling about the conversion is very mixed! some were even changing back to their original V5 chassis and noticing an improvement (low grip outdoor asphalt). Only testing and more time will tell if its any good.

If you are referring to the Brca Clubmans yesterday then yes. I think i will be changing back to the V5 chassis, was a little disappointed to be honest. Been reading about the raceberry and heard a lot of good things, but my trouble was corner speed, what ever I tried just couldn't get more corner speed out of it. Has anyone else had troubles with the cornering speed ?

With my raceberry it have me sooooooooooo much push into corners had to nearly stop car to get it in.
Changed back to kit chassis got steering back and 8 seconds faster in Bach to back runs.
But then looking at viktors car at ets it looked like it pushes into corners.
Was expecting good things but was disappointed to say the least!!

how often does tamiya update their 417 versions? are they due for a newer version than the v5?

Qatmix

Usually about one a year (dec time) but the V5 looks like a good base to start as it has the latest DCJ's diffs and spool.

Also are people running the aerated shocks indoors? How are you finding them?

What setups did you run?

timmay langdell

Started with viktors ets set up

C van der Hagen

The Gran Canaria racetrack with the Ride 34 tire was extreme low grip.

Do you run also the Ride 34 tire on a low grip surface?

timmay langdell

No we use the sorex 32 brca control tyre. Wlrc was low grip aswell.

C van der Hagen

The raceberry chassis generates more rear grip compared to the V5 chassis.
Try to use less toe-in (2.0-2.5), a thicker (1.2mm) rear swaybar and harder springs (HPI silver) when using the sorex tyre.

Do you use a setscrew or a countersunkscrew at the lower side of the centerpost?

I tested the raceberry set last weekend at the Apeldoorn track both with the ride 34 and the sorex tyre. Both tires require a complete different set-up.

timmay langdell

Not tried it on ride tyres, but did do the changes you mentioned.

Thing is any of the so called low grip tracks are much higher than anything in the uk. They are also flat which I don't think any track really is over here.
