The car handled as if it was possessed today. The car was better than me finally. I raced in 21.5T with HPI D-compound 1450g min. class and it was amazing. No rear sway bar and the rear shock bottom ends mounted on inner holes really helped with the rear grip and the car did not have any looseness while having very neutral feel overall.
If I could use any spur, I would like this car 2X more.

I am running 450 cst all round, check ride height, it might be that the motor is catching.
I have just changed from Thunder Power to Tekin Gen 2 and the motor is wearing a bit where it is catching the ground, I know another fellow Xray driver with this motor has the same problem of it grinding away, his a T3 '12 though.

thanks damian,saves me a lot of hassle

at the track in question it has a banked sweeper so ride height has to be 6.5 r 6 f and i still wear out the chassis and motor,today i made an improvement to how it feels mid corner but i was at a different track,i lowered the rear inner link and then front and got a bit faster every round but my consistency isnt good enough yet,more track time there and itll all fall into place,thanks for your input

Another option, from setup, is to maybe check your drag brake. Too little and you might miss corners, too much and it can really kill corner speed.

i dont use drag brake,i cant get on with it

Barry_Hughes

neither do I

chasingthepack

i lowered the roll center and that partially cured the stopping in the corners so i still have 1mm to go so might just cure it altogether hopefully,but need to change settings for a different track next weekend so im going to write up a set up sheet as itll give me a better startng point next time im there

Halifax??? If so... I'm so jealous...

Nathan Wilson

Thinking of changing to 64dp, what make gears do people use? and what is the best size spur gear to use 13.5 boosted btw

Thanks

chasingthepack

no need to be jealous,it wasnt halifax,its aldershot,the sweeper can be tricky as you need to stay as low as possible,if it was steeper it would be better as it chews up the front left in 3 rounds and grinds the motor

i use the white non offset rw lightweight,they do an offset in black which are the ones for the t4,only i use 48,im sure they still do them in 64 though
when usingthe non offset there a little wider so when you go to put the pin back in its a little tight,but still works ok

I'm still an old school racer tbh, have never used a gear diff before in any of my cars.

What benefits are there of using thinner/thicker cSt?

(Bearing in mind I will have a front and rear diff to build up....)

I am guessing thicker (is that higher or lower cSt?) will give a slower rotation on that end of the car?

To give you an overview of my current cars setup....

(On my 415msxx) As for springs, I use serpent pink 28lb (I believe?) and red 18lb.

60w front, 55wt oil rear, 3 hole pistons, 0 degree front toe, 3deg rear toe in, so you can see that the suspension is set much harder up front to allow faster cornering speed.

Steering repsonse is immense Although I will probably be looking at turning that down.

Am I reading too much into this, or is differential cSt critical to the setup too, or not so important?

Is there anything to change that would Hlp prevent the front tires from overheating when using the front - .75 roll centers? I developed a foward push also at the end of the 8min race anything I could change to prevent that?
