FW05RR - Loose rear
 

Hi, I drive on a fairly technical track with lots of curves and I notíced my rear was pretty loose. Steering and front traction was excellent. What should I try first changing?

thanx for any tips


PS. Any links for general setup guidelines?

I also race the Fw RR on a tight technical track but i think the only thing i have done is change to diffrent rear diff oil which helped a fair bit but i think the FW's are always a little taily.:D

What # oil?

Try adding some rear toe in and some camber.

Kyosho 4000

I race an FW05RR when is the rear loose On or off power are you running a spool, diff or one way?

Also I found that running the same tires all round, with no other changes, that 35s will oversteer 37s are very direct 40s are perfect and 42, understeer.
I also think that the kit med rear sway bar is too stiff.

I run with a spool in front. I added some camber and toe in. Lets see tomorrow what happens. Last sunday the instable rear destroyed my rear tires(chunking for the loose)

I run a spool also with 5000 wt oil in the rear
37 all round or 40 if hot
no sway bars with green spings all round
shocks in the out position 5-5.5 mm ride hight caster in the middle
and proline strates 3 body:cool:

do you have the kyosho product number for the green springs? ty

I recommend 3 degrees of toe on the rear

92491 on road spring set
you get 2 soft 2 med 2 hard
so get 2 sets so you can have the same all round.:cool:

I run the same, 2.5 to 3 deg
and about 1 deg of toe out on the front.:cool:
