The belts will stay white as they are already available. I've been using them for a while and they are much softer than the black belts, hence "low friction".

Whats the part numbers for the low friction belts.

Has anyone tried Hagberg's ETS Gran Canaria setup on a US parking lot track? It uses kit springs so I was thinking of trying it. The big differences from kit asphalt seem to be -.75 front roll center, .5mm of arm sweep, shocks one hole down, middle front camber link, camber link shimming, and a low rear diff.

Last weekend turned out to be a practice day. The car seems to work well with the kit asphalt setup. I couldn't spot any particularly bad behavior, but I'm still getting used to mod. If anything, calming the car down a bit so I can be more aggressive with the throttle would be the most help, I think. Maybe a bit more steering while braking, but that may really just be a track layout thing. More overall grip in the corners would be nice, as always.

After all that effort I put into balancing the car, when I got the car home and put it back on the scales, the left side was reading 15g heavy. No idea how that happened. So I leveled my pit board on the workbench and dove back into it. I moved the arms forward 1mm (added 1mm ackerman shims to compensate), and put 4x 7g on the right rear next to the layshaft bulkhead. The car is back to 50/50 left/right, and about 51.7% rear. I'm hoping the extra rear weight will calm down the corner exit steering a bit. I also had very small tweaks in the swaybars that I got rid of. Xray could stand to go to an endlink more like HB/TOP for easier/finer adjustment of the endlinks.

I also went to AE 35wt (425cst according to bottle) all around, in hopes of just making the car easier to drive, and maybe keeping the tires a bit cooler.

While I can't comment on a lot of his setup, I have tried the anti-dive at the front. But I found it reduced the steering slightly.

i also tried the anti dive but got better results from using the stock arm mounts and putting a 1mm shim under the fr,initial turn in is better but mid corner suffers a small amount and no arm sweep just the 1.5 shims,exit is better too as forward traction and on power steering in increased

Received the new Low Friction Blets from RCAmerca, took about 3 days. Can't wait to see how well they work.

Which RSD springs are equivalent to Xray 2.3 and 2.5?

CristianTabush

There is no "equivalent" springs. Our black are like 2.4 and our blue are like 2.55. While our pink would be a 2.65. They behave differently though. A blue front/black rear feels similar to 2.5f and 2.3r.

Personally, I like Blue or pink front with a yellow progressive rear on carpet and silver f yellow progressive rear on asphalt.

Do have a pic of where u put the shims by chance ?

Thanks

chasingthepack

no pic,but if you look at the front of the car where the arms attach to the mount the shims go between the chassis and the front rear mount,some people are using split mounts in this position,if you look in the t4 manual it says its a tuning tip and what its for

Maybe that's why yodace wanted a picture. In your previous statement you stated you didn't like anti-dive, but what you describe here *is* anti-dive.
