Thank you for the setup tips, Mike. Your support means a ton! My first race with the car is next weekend so I知 excited to give it a go. Ambient temps of 80+ for that event so I値l have to play with the setup a bit.

I switched to it for indoor black carpet. Works perfectly! Was running the stock chassis but was having a little traction roll. It fixed that..

Hey Mike:

Would you consider your "Long Track" setup the most up to dat for Camarillo? Also, What are your thoughts about using sway bars and damper tubes on a track like Camarillo?

I thought the slop is from the bearing and the post...put some threadlock on the post to fill in the gap between post and bearing

if i bought wrong, i dont know, but fit perfectly



i think they start with 600cst on asphalt.

I thought it was from there at first too, but after that was when we figured out it was the chassis itself.

My home track is Camarillo, Ca which is a large asphalt track with low-medium grip. I would like to know what people think of using the Xray Gear Diff in these conditions compared to the ball diff?

Hi, Actually, even at the a large track like Steel City (twice as large as Cam), I ended up using the Cal Raceway set up (like the one below). It's just a good balanced set up that seems to work everywhere for asphalt. From there you just tune via the front tires.
If the grip is medium low the steel axle ball diff is better. Gear diff is for medium/high grip. A few years ago we used to use the Xray gear diff at Cam but maybe the track conditions were better back then. It's an easy swap to try either though.

I race on carpet, and I really like the hard chassis. Though it didn't seem like a drastic change, the car was more predictable/consistent, and seemed to respond better to setup changes (at least at our track). Don't be afraid to try both wheelbase settings, as the car can be very fast with either one.

I noticed the hard chassis is not currently listed on the Exotek site, but still available on other stores. I don't know if it's discontinued, or if there may be a revised version coming?

How do you guys re-grease the stock ball diff thrust bearing? I'm only familiar with the exposed thust bearing with black grease?

MikeR

It's a type of bearing so just bearing oil.

Good point!

MikeR the 2.5 chassis has been discontinued? or something new are coming?
