Hi Daan,
Thanks for your setup sheets. I have been trying to figure out what the advantage is of shimming the wheelhubs outside; instead of adjusting the pivot balls, and we never use shims there since we don't know. Is it just to enable quick changes to the trackwidth without having to re-adjust other settings, or is it something else?

Kindest regards,
Lars.

How many of you guys have tried running with the spool? ..... any good?

Back in office, I'm replying to my emails and messages right now.

I run the spool quite often, for me it works on big open tracks as well on some tight, technical tracks. I especially like the amount of acceleration a spool gives out of the slower corners.

Offset is quite difficult to explain how it works, it's not for changing track width though!.
Offsetting the wheel changes the 'scrub radius' of a tire.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

In Rc cars offset also has quite a big influence on the jacking forces in the front suspension. Because of the big caster angles used more offset will put more pressure on the inside tyre. Also the wheelbase difference between left and right is increased when you run more offset.
Because of this in general more front offset will give you more steering at corner entry and mid corner.

I found less off set all round will give the car faster weight transfer and makes it better through chicanes.
On the C01 I always used 0 offset all around (all shims on the inside). WIth the C02 I ended up with the stock settings, the thin hex up front and the medium one in the rear.
For a tight, technical track you might try it the other way around.

Many thanks for that Daan, I've learnt a lot from it. Scrub ratio was something that I'd heard of, but never bothered to find out more about. It explains why the CO2 comes with different thickness hex hubs, which I've never come across before. Patrizio is just brilliant, and this forum is the best ever knowledge base thanks to guys like you.

Kindest regards,
Lars.

Tried the short wheel base setup and it did improve the car through the chicanes but still have big push going out of certain chicanes. Any recommendations?

Hi

Just wondered if the two speed is spose to have grub screws in it? The manual doesn't show this? And does any one put screws into the roll centre inserts to stop pins from coming out after you have drilled them to 3mm?

Hey Andrew,
If its just at the corner exits...... try reducing the rear toe-in a little. See if that helps.
