Does anybody have a carpet rubber/carpet set-up they can give me as a starting point for my S400? Also, Whats the best traction compound for rubber on carpet?

I'm still running mine as per kit settings except but with 1mm kick up on the front. It's absolutely planted.

May I suggest you start there.

The other guy who has one changes setups as much as the UK weather system but he always comes back to the base settings.
Meanwhile I just amble along waiting for him to find something better and copy him when he does so.... hee hee.

Oh and he always TQ's, which is good but my; is it annoying.

Hey guys..Racer Z setup looks really good. Felt even better for the 4-5 laps that I drove it. The car had a lot of corner speed but felt extremely stable. If I had better access to parts I would buy one ASAP. I would try his setup before trying anything else. He has put a lot of testing and tuning into that setup. Try it out.......

Which hardcased Lipos are you guys getting in your cars ? I have an Orion 3200, that fits ( with a little modifcation).

Orion 3200 is what I run as well. I can't seem to find a hardcase lipo that will fit so I went withthe advice of someone on the forum and bought a maxxamps 5000 pack. It is a great pack and is only 18mm tall. If you find something that else that fits, please post.

PS. Has anybody got a 3600 Orion to fit yet?

Racer Z

I heard that with some Dremel work you can get it to fit. I think the orion 3600 pack is black in color right? Does it look like carbon fiber?

Congrats Ike... one more person i wont be able to keep up with.

I was looking for hardcase Lipo's... I did a little dremel work, and the 3600 went in like it was made for it.
