Cool ..... do you measure droop from bottom of the suspension arms, or measure lift in chassis until wheels lift off the floor ....

Everyone seems to do it different

Cheers

Its pretty much personal preference i measure by droop blocks and just under the corner of the arm so those measurements are for blocks, but i know ari measue by chassis lift so pretty much its just what you are comfortable with and used too.

Guys

What Hard Case Lipo's will fit in the PHI
only 21mm between chassis and top deck.

Hi Guys
Does anyone know what Lb the Red and yellow TRF springs are? The Reds have more coils than the yellows and feel slightly softer.
Thanks Mark M

Nah sorry mate i would not be able to tell you, I have never used TRF springs before in my life, Maybe just check out Tamiya website they might have spring listing on there.

Tried the kit set up .... awesome. Should have tried it before, instead of persiting with set up I purchased car with.

Thanks for your help.

Just a couple of questions:
- setting up for high grip tracks ... like Fairy Meadow (Illawarra). What change
would you recommend ? I was thinking shortening the camber links by one hole front & rear ?
- I have TRF shocks .. any special set up changes for those ?

Illawara you should run around 14 front 12 rear if still a little bit to grippy try standing ya shocks up a hole or two.

Whenever i go down there i start with shorter links and soft sway bars, always works for me. I still run fairly soft springs too (14poundsF/R)

...Ari

Thanks Ari

Thanks Simon, would that be same with and without sway bars ?

Though I'd try some Rayspeed springs that I had lying around, as they are progressive. 17lb (like kit PHI)

Result was great ... for me the car seems more settled & consistent. Lots of grip every where.

Cheers

Um i never really tried the car much without bars but i say it would be pretty close to that still.

Had my first race with my wifes corally at the western aus states last weekend and what can i say that are a great car easy to setup and steering couldn't say i had none, so in all the best car i've driven and between you and me she's not getting it back ethier.

Hi Simon,

In an earlier post you mentioned tha you use excel springs, are they the same length as corally springs ?

Thanks
