alright, thank you very much, I just ordered metal shock, various springs. that's seem to be all the necessary upgrade for the car for my level.

You may also find purchasing the optional sway bar kit + mounts will be beneficial in regards to how well the car handles through the infield. The first upgrades I purchased before running this car were the springs, sway bars, shock bodies and CVDs in the rear. It all depends on the driving surface, you might find that they don't make a difference, but it's always good to have them

is there a place to get good setups for this chassis? im new to onroad so when i was trying to dial in my car to my local track i was kind of at a loss as to what i need to change to get the results i want

Hey! We missed you at Moose Jaw!
If you run the Sakura spring set, I have had luck with 4.5 in the front, 6.5 in the back - 45 weight all around with 3 hole piston.

#4 sway bar up front, #3 in the back

TeamThibault

Hey thanks for help again Chuck and yes I'm still a sakura fan
I have some health issue's right now That doesn't allow me to race or drive .
I'm still waiting on our heath care system. Any way
my wife says I get too stressed out
So I never really got to set my cars up. Last real time I spent on it was in Saskatoon. :-(
Are you running spool? How much rebound does your shocks have? What's your thoughts on the xi basic chassis?

TeamThibault

40 wt shock oil all shocks
1 degree camber all wheels
1 degree toe out front
3 degrees toe in rear
6.5 springs rear
5.0 springs front
Lightest sway bar rear
stiffest sway bar front
front spool
80wt shock oil rear diff (I prefer the ball diff)
high roll center front
mid to low roll center rear
3mm droop rear
2.5 mm droop front
5 to 5.5 mm ride height
use sweep 32 or jaco blue for tires
full traction compound rear inner half tire on the front

this should get you started in the ball park.

TeamThibault

Yup in rear diff.
A lot of guys run 80 wgt shock oil in the dif.( even some xrays guy s) I'm no exbert and had bad luck with setting up my chassis but looking to get better . on my next race day I will post my setup and I hope you do the same. I'm going to start with vetted setup
I hope some other racers post there setups as well

Has any one change there servo position maybe with xi servo bracket?

Hpifreak make sure you ditch the stock servo saver ,I had nothing but bad luck with them.

HPIFreak

Yea I ran it once and switched to an aluminum servo arm. The stock servo saver springs are stupid and do not return the arm to the center so every time I bumped something my servos trim would get moved. As for different servo mounting, I flipped around the mounts and bolted them onto the front of the servo so the linkage wouldn't hit the upper deck. Also switched to pivot ball ends for more clearance

nibnobsam

You need to put a washer in the stock servo saver so it doesn't clamp tight on the springs. Worked for me

TeamThibault

besides tape what parts do you guys use for the battery tie downs on narrow carbon fiber chassis? i hate using tape

seems like this thread is dead or a on one uses this chassis any more?

GENERALTALKS

Hey friends

I'm building another Zero and I want to run the rear shocks behind the shock towers.
Pronoob posted the parts that I need but I can't find his post. Can someone tell me what parts I need please.

I live in Brisbane, Australia. Love the way these cars go and the X-ray guys are very nervous at our track.
Thanks.
