Thanks. I'm almost done reading through the thread for a second time. I got through the first 3000 posts pretty quickly and added some additional things to the FAQ. I'm sure I'll add a few more things as I re-read the rest of it.

Cheers

Is this engine has not been cleaned since 3 month ago ?

Or is it after one race ?

ALG

THIS is a very good average!!!
Maybe try a different engine, NV or Picco, Picco is good for what you pay.

Have fun

For one more run, you can use a product called NEVR-DULL Wadding Polish. It should be available at an auto-parts store. It's a non-abrasive metal polish, that will clean up all that residue. You can use it on the outside of the piston sleeve, the top of the piston (try not to catch the top outer edge too much) and the inside the button head. After you're done, it will look pretty good.

Too bad about the pinch, but that's just how it goes...

Currently i used 50wt Losi Shock oil - will try the Associated and i also use the Kfactory Blue diaphrams inside shock with 2 x 1.5 holes drilled in each front and rear shock - shock length 64mm - 65mm

currently i run 0.4 to 0.5 clutch gap for a tab slip correct, thou will seek that setup as you mentioned!!! i run yellow spring, 1 weight with black shoe!

As i have mentioned before running a 52T 1st & 46T 2nd with Standard ED trans gearing and run 2mm split front and rear tires might go back to the 51T see how that goes

Expo settings i have always had at 0% - not sure what this stuff does but after what you have said it does make sense, might try it

Over the few months of racing, had good wear evenly running -3.0 camber, now i have tried -4.0 thou with the incorrect dif oil ill need to check this setting with a better diff setup inthe rear! our track is evil on the left side of our cars, as the left side works more than the right!


Maybe the Kfactory tire is not so good at our track, thou i have seen Pattojnr visit our track for the state tittles and he ran a 19.7 - keep in mind his car had more power, better modz and i think he better driver than me for sure I also tried some Nitro Shoes Jacco over the weekend, 38 front and 40 rear is all i had...!

Noticed the right rear out drive is terribly worn, the left side is like new HOW COME?

I was thinking the same when i thought 3mm is a bit much, its not that i dont have enough turn in its more to do with having that rear end planted is the major issues, some on power steer can be lost on our fast sweeper onto straight but if i take a good wide line and hit the Apex correctly it can create some awesome overtaking and fun racing!!!

Ok ill set the car for 85% settings once i have made some mods to front arms, like shorten the front arms for 197mm track width as gansei has shown

Interesting point on the Toe out on the front have had mine set at 0.5 each side to have total 1 toe out, but must try the 1.0 each side to see if this benefitts our track!

Thank you for your time and i look forward tot he next meet with a possible better handling car, even thou my engine is soon gonna die, id like that the car to be handling again!!!
