Hey guys....
Just back from ACT and managed to rack up another win for the scythe (scythe 1-2 for mod)... Car was very good to drive and fast with minimal effort so I thought I would post the setup for others to try....
I started the weekend with kit springs and they seemed ok so I stuck with them but I would recomend something harder (up to about 20lbs) if you run larger tyres and also remove some of the droop too. I also ran a stiffer swaybar in the rear to offset the under steer of the dodge 3, so change that too if you run something more aggresive.
If you have any questions feel free to post or pm.
Cheers

I didn't know they ran rubber tyres in Canberra? When I visited the track everyone was running foams.

I was wondering what rear (ball) diff is compatible with the Scythe?? I'm going to race this weekend and noticed the diff is shot and I need a new one!!!

Yeah, I remember the carpet. 2' squares of industrial carpet if I recall correctly. You're also not allowed traction compound too right?
I've never seen anyone run a one way with foams. In fact your whole set up is as far from anything anyone here would run which is why I thought it was a rubber set up. I'm not criticising it as it obviously worked. I understand that with the carpet not being ozite it's quite different, I just wouldn't think it would be that different.

Rocko is a little bit different to start with
I had pretty much the opposite to that setup on my TOP.
Its all in the surface, that stuff is so strange anything and nothing works.

I guess if I'm going to question your set up I should at least post my carpet foam set up. This has a lot of steering and a bit too much roll. I'll probably go to an AE yellow front spring next time I'm out (just waiting on parts). The AE springs are a bit too long so I can't get my ride height any lower. Sadly TOP springs don't go stiff enough. I'm curious to see if Losi type-R springs will fit as they're a lot shorter.
