Hey there guys, I am looking to try the new linear side springs on my CRC. What spring would I use that would be compreable to the white CRC medium side spring? Thanks a lot!!

Donny Lia

Hey,
Im pretty sure that would be a .20 side spring. Lately the hot setup are the .18's though.

In your opinion would the .18 have the proper stiffness to transition on the crc? Thanks for the info!!

Donny Lia

They should but its just something you have to try. The cars are similar but different so no way to know other than trying them.

Donny- What are your current setups for World GT 13.5 and 12th scale 17.5 on a tight, high grip track?

Thanks,
James

Damn i was building my car and saw you post and thought i was an idiot because i put them in the gap on the rod end.. Now i know they were in the right place. I read the manual like 10 times and didnt see any mention of them. Being that FJ built like 50 of these i believed what he said.

Hey James
I posted a setup a few pages back. I'd run the same thing in the WGT car with maybe a lil less camber up front, no pod droop and 4mm ride height all around. That would be a good starting point. Might need .20 side springs too but would have to try it first and see. Haven't run the car since Vegas had .20's in it there. Hope this helps.

do the new edition SM front end conversion kits for the other manufacturer's cars use the older graphite cross piece with pressed in teflon Orings? Or do they now come with the new grapite crossbar that has the retainer rings to hold the Orings in place?

What would you change for low to medium grip. Our track doesn't get used a lot so it's very green.

we have the option to, but the cars always seem to work great box stock middle/middle and it's what we always work back to.
