PHI/BMI racer

Try the set-up out the manual. Just change the camber as needed, set front toe to about 0.5 deg. out. This would be a good starting point. All I have changed in m set-up is to put spacers under A-arms to get a good roll-center. I also reduced rear toe-in.

Great car, good luck...

I experienced the same issue with the wheel rubbing on the lower shock eyelet. I simply had too much lock and reduced the end point until it no longer rubbed, still have the same amount of steering on the track.

So have you put the spacers only in the rear and is it under the front and back arm mounts in the rear.

I have heard of a few people changing the anti squat by only putting them under 2 blocks instead of the 4 rear blocks.

Hi Robert,

Check with S. Nicholson on the Australian Phi 2 thread for his outdoor setup. Simon has had the car for several months and is a pro at setups.

Cheers!

I have posted this question in another PHI tread,but i post it here also.



I think i will move the shock at the rear of the shock tower on my PHI09.

But it seem's i must use tamiya wishbone too do that well?

Which type of tamiya wishbone do you use? Short or long type?

And if i use Tamiya arm's,can i still use PHI09 driveshaft's?

Hi all,

An important improvement point is the pivot ball (m3x2.5 mm) attached in the steering lever.

For modified, the one (pivot ball ) that came with the kit is realy short.

Attached a video, Campeonato Paulista (São Paulo) first round in Brasil last weekend, I was in the second place, when…..tan tan tan…..”I flied in the tree”.

By the way, happens with more one friend in the same round.

That sucks, are you just suggesting a longer pivot ball?

robertjunior

Yes, the “solution” is really easy; I only post all the history here because the “impact” of a small pivot ball was really high for me.

In fact I only change the pivot ball and use thread lock.

Do you have the alu steering lever? or did this happen withe original plastic one?

robertjunior

Original one, but the problem is the pivot ball, really short, with alu steering lever the risk will be mainly reduced.

This “small issue” only happens in high speed, that's “THE PROBLEM” 

Hey Guys, having trouble fittng a body (Proline R9R) to my 09, can't seems to get it low enough, do you use the bottom body post screws or something else ?

I have converted mine to the 07-08 PHI rear body post plate and posts, I did it though due to lazyness I didnt want to redo all my bodies with new holes.

You can use Tamiya pt# 51297, which are the long version and soft. The 51104 are the long/hard version and the 54083 kit is the 415 short arm kit. The PHI09 cvd's will still work.

Depending on which rear uprights you use you will have to fit them to get the proper clearance to make them work properly.The other factor is the Tamiya outer pins are 2.6mm and the PHI are 2.5.
