Cub86 posted the question: Hi. I'm struggling to understand the lay down situation. I run on high bite damp smooth clay and think the conversation would help on my surface but from what I'm reading I need to buy the lay down kit tlr338004. And the dirt gear case tlr332063. But do I really need both from what I've read the dirt case is 1-2mm higher anyway and u don't use the +3mm hubs or the front pivot hrc or Hrc mod. So is the dirt lay down kit tlr332063 is all that's needed to get me a lay down set up that's suited for clay With the components and car I already have. And if I only get the dirt case is there any problems that will need to be addressed IE.. bone plunge . I do know I'll need 1mm spacers on the waterfall to clear the battery. Thanks guys really trying to get my head around this.
Franks response: Laydown Conversion will work great by itself. You run the aluminum +3mm hubs, the diff is +3.5mm, and you run the HRC front setup. Just follow a setup sheet from tlracing.com (Frank Root). Dirt Tranny has the diff at the same height as the standard tranny case, and works with the standard plastic hubs. Both are +/- 0mm from stock. When you run this, no need to run the HRC front mod either. I've found the stock laydown conversion parts to work great for most tracks. The dirt tranny is a great tuning option, but definitely not 'required'. K.King Something I made, pretty basic. Just to give people an idea.

Hey guys. Really struggling with getting the buggy to steer at the moment. I'm struggling with both off power steering and on power steering. I'm running kit setup with my battery spaced 10mm of the waterfall. We run on medium grip clay.
Iv got a front and rear low frequency spring set on the way to help tune with.
Any suggestions in how to get more steering.
Would be greatly appreciated.

Also I found moving battery forward second foam thickness in TLR Kit helped and didn't hurt bite off.

Thanks frank. I'll definitely give that setup a try when my springs arrive.
I haven't tested the long Arm, but I will this week.
The car still generates a ton of rear grip so I could probably still go further forward with the battery.

Let us know how you like it.
The Losi LF set is also great to have for the rear. I like having the Losi Pink, White and Yellow handy for medium grip like clay.
Kyosho Gold are also in that area. I ended up with one setup that was very similar to what Frank posted but with Kyosho Gold all the way around 1.6x2 piston front, 1.7x2 rear; 32.5 front, 35 rear.
I'd start with Frank's setup though if you're on clay and then start playing with springs, etc. That's why it's nice having the Losi LF set around to fine tune.

The chassis are made by RC10nick and he sells them from his facebook page. It uses an exotek kickup plate from the old exo22 conversion on the 2.0

It's been a while since I have been able to get to the track. I know there's a lot of locals on here. What's the hot setup for OCRC 17.5?

I've observed several variations:
Some people are running AE White Spring front, AE Green Spring rear (maybe that's what Frank's setup shows per spring weight; not sure, but you can check spring rates on the wall at OCRC in the shop).
I know someone running Kyosho Gold F/R; 1.6x2 F/R, and 32.5, 30 F/R. She looks very fast.
I am running Kyosho Gold F/R; 1.6x2 F, 1.7x2 R, 30 F, 32.5 R. Very easy to drive.
Frank, ever try anything similar to the above and any thoughts?
Anyway, there are several people running this car at OCRC and most if not all will be glad to help you setup your car or give you their thoughts but start with what Frank posted so you'll have a good starting point when you arrive.
