I wouldn't worry about the wear on those gears. Unless your stuck on the boards alot or hold the wheels on one side of the car when running, they should hardly spin at all. The way its designed they probably don't even spin two revolutions per corner.

I ran mine with both on the rear, L at the RF an H at the RR, never had an issue with rear end grip (apart from having too much)

I actually took out my RR on the track yesterday and it was really dusty....... now what i noticed was, apart from a lot of sand on the track ....... was while entering corners...... i had to really slow down.

I had installed the 92491 springs orange in rear - soft and Yellow in front - Hard. ride height at rear was 7 and front was 6 or so.. to give more grip at turn in. but...... while the car is entering the turn its sort of slipping from the front and not enough turn in ---- though when its slowddown and i hit a little accelerator it turns...which is quite slow.

How do i get the car to have more grip in the frontt...... atleast now the car is not spinning out...... should i use the medium springs ? in front may be its too hard n not too much wieght is trasferinggg....... ?

any suggestionsss ?

Try ackerman A. silver spings in front with 40wt - #2 shock tower hole / black springs in rear with 50wt - shocks standing up with black or gold swaybar. Ride height at 5 in front and 6 in back. 2mm of droop over ride height. You can also try black rear springs in front and stand the shocks up more.

Kiddynamite......

Thanks for the info.....wouldnt this be the hard setup.. I mean dont we have to put in soft setup when its a dusty / sandy track . aka low traction.

have you tried this on a dusty track. ?

thanks heaps...

It actually is a soft set-up. I'm using the 1.0mm x 2 pistons in front. Laying down the shocks in front also softens it up and helps with turn in. My track was the same way the first few weeks of the season. I also used 37 shore all around. The silver springs are pretty light and if you want even lighter, use the black rear springs in front. The stand up shocks in back help to get more steering, same with the thicker rear swaybar. One of the fastest 710 guys at my track wanted to try out my car for kicks and he said it was more dialed than his. He's even thinking of trying to go Kyosho. I'm still experimenting with getting a little more on-power steering, but seeing a sponsored guy drive my car really helped me to dial in my driving style. It's different in the turns than the RRR. But I'm hoping to find a great set-up and this one may be a good starting point for you too. If you come up with something, do share please.
