Chris Tosolini

I dont think so, I think the warm up for 200 gas tc in Brazil is at the same time..

Hey Chris,
I have an SSG SD that I am planning to run at the Snowbird Nationals in a few weeks, do you have any setup tips I should take into consideration? I'm planning on using Associated purple springs and dual rear shock towers and 50 wt oil. Also TRC plaid fronts and Purple rears for tires. Unfortunately there aren't any carpet tracks around here so any help would be appreciated. Also, how should I expect the car to handle carpet?
Thanks,
Shane

I dont have a set up for that chassie,but you could start with my Novak set up..

@chris
what is the difference between running, light shock oil with small pistons, and running heavy shock oil with big pistons ?
i am running rubber tires on carpet.
thx

Chris Tosolini

the first bod with the cool front end was painted on by my painter Frank hes goooooooddddd, and the second bod was the parma alfa and those are the decals that come with it..

Chris Tosolini

did you ask this to Josh earler??

Chris- Congrats on the Novak!

Hope to see you back in Tulsa this spring.

yes i did, but i am not sure wether he understood what i wanted to know.
his answer was:
...Bigger pistions - more roll...

that is what bigger pistons in general affect. but i want to know what is the difference between bigger pistons combined with heavy oil compared to small pistons with light oil.....

that is like a big pinon with a big spur compared to a small spur + small pinon, the ratio stays the same.
did u get it?

sry for my bad english

trf racer

bigger pistons will give more roll and more grip like springs
little pistons will give less roll and less grip like springs.
thinner oil only controls the rate the shocks comprress.
thinner = quicker rate
thiker=slower rate.
these are more of a fine tune and the piston number/size depends on the thickness of the oil.
oooopppps wrong thread.
over to you chris.

@ chris

Chris,

I know you use the black chassis for carper with foam, which chassis do you use for carpet with rubber tyres? for asphalt (outdoor) with rubber tyres?

Thanks
