I'm using a brand new 009 set up as per manual, i race on a dusty concrete track. Im using cs22 and tried sorex 20, the motor is a Novak 13.5. The car is very fast compared to my old FK05 (might be some of the problem) Whats happening is when i exit a tight corner the back end just lets go under acceleration it goes into the corner fine. I had a similar problem on the FK05 and loosening the rear diff solved that. Anyone got a tips to try as a starting point. Its so bad i was only getting 14 laps when i can get 20 with the old car but the 009 is a lot faster on the straight.
The 009 is a great car! The rear end is a little looser than the 007 but it is fast. What I did was run a 1 mil shim on the rear hubs. I run the camber links long and low. Also you can run 5 dropp in the front and 4 in the rear. A little droop in the rear will help keep it down. I also run 2.4 springs all around and that gives me good traction. When the traction goes up I run 2.6 springs all around. I also run no sway bars on low traction and run sway bars when there's high traction. We do a lot of low traction asphalt racing here in So Cal and this car is dialed. It's all set-up and when you find it, you'll win a lot of races. Check this site for set-up help:

If you search my name you can try a fast So Cal stock or 19 turn set-up.

Hi All,
I'm thinking of getting a set of alloy shocks for the 009. At the moment i'm tossing up between
308306-O XRAY T2'009 Alu Shock Absorber - Set - Orange (2)
or
Tamiya TRF 84008
The Xray are a bit pricey and the Tamiya ones are a lot cheaper but not sure if they fit or work on the 009. I've heard a few ppl use the Tamiya ones in their 008 and had good results.
I would appreciate your input on which one is better for the 009? or any other alternatives.
Thanks in advance
