So the new car does actually work in low grip conditions?
here's my first run of the 16,i only ran it in the finals,i was still using my wet car for qualifying,but setting up the 16 in between rounds,im the blue car lining up at the last minute in 5th finished 2nd ,it was about 4c air temp and started raining about 30 secs in although you cant see it,its not the fastest car there but very consistent to drive,still work to do

im happy so far with it,coming from the xray t4 15 its easily on par,changes from the standard set up were 25/28 front progressives ,26 rears (xray springs) inner camber link lowered to 2mm ,1.3 top deck and disconnected the front arb,i should have done the rear as well as it was still skittish on exit,i was on some well worn wets so newer tyres should help,after id got home and pulled it apart i found the diff was too tight so i took the outer shims off and now its very free,so should have cured the exit problems,im also hoping we get a break in the weather long enough for a dry meeting to see how it handles

Have a lot of testing with FF4.9 FR4.2 (1 Piece) / FF4.2 FR3.5 (2 Piece) / FF3.9 FR3.5 (2 Piece) / FF3.9 FR3.5 (2 Piece) FR Spacer 0.5
two best was FF3.9 FR3.5 (2 Piece) FR Spacer 0.5
Anyone who has ever tried to FF4.2 and FR 4.2 (1 Piece)?

I have to say FF 4.2 and FR 4.2 (1 Piece) works best for me on carpet

It is the same as that from the BD7, but unfortunately in blue.

Hi,
Is the 2016 steering bell crank any different from the 2015? I don't see that it is included in the conversion kit, but they sure have different part numbers. I know the bridge is shorter but what about the other steering parts?
Thx for replying!

Low bite Track
Hello,
Have anyone tried the 2016 BD7 on a low bite track? I have no success with my 2016. My 2015 was way better. I change roll center shims, droop, ride height, rear toe and my car was still loose. Sorex 32 and 36 with tire warmers have the same result too. Should I buy the optional long shock tower and use my 2015 shocks? Other cars were also loose but my 2016 was the worse. I went to URC raceway in northridge, CA yesterday. The track is a parking lot and was closed for a few weeks. Traction was awfull yesterday.
The 2016 was so amazing on carpet. Best car I ever drove. I know there must be a good set up for outdoor asphalt.

more and more am seeing setups from PetitRC with wider wheelbases front and rear. Usual combos I see are 4.2 FF and RF and 2.7 FR and 6.4RR. Anyone tried it out yet?

I tried 2.7RF & 7.2RR on Carpet last Weekend & it felt pretty good, but the Car did'nt feel quite as Nimble......kit 2.0RF & 6.4RR still feels better to me!
I'm still running 4.2FF & 3.5FR on the Front at the moment & it has a nice feel, but might try going abit Narrower, for abitmore Steering!

Hi,
I have a few questions for the ones who might know or own both T4 and BD7.
Have you tried Xray's T4 short shocks on the BD7 2016?
If yes, how do they fit and handle?
If no, are the shocks volume and length different?
reason for asking: I want to buy the xray black shocks to try PSS on the yokomo.
Thx for answering.
