Hello All,
problem 1:
I've been having a problem with extremely quick wear of my front tires relative to my rear tires.
For example, after two runs on asphalt or carpet the center bead on the front tires is completely gone and the tires are wrinkled while the rear tires still have the center bead and basically look like they came out of the package.
problem 2: on carpet only my rear inner tire will sometimes lift.
I run the same setup on asphalt and carpet in stock.
The car handles o.k. but any setup can be better. Below is my setup. My set up is close to Jeff Brown's 06 nats speedworld setup (with minor changes). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Front:
Spool.
Roll center blocks position 1.
Inside camber location: low, 2nd hole from outside.
75% arms.
arm shock position: most outer hole.
tower position: 3nd hole in from outside.
19lB springs.
pistion: 1.1mm.
25 wt oil.
zero toe.
droop: 4.5 on yokomo guage.
camber -1.5
Rear:
Roll Center Blocks. position 3 front, position 2 rear ( 1.6 anti-squat)
inside camber location: low, 2nd hole from outside.
75%.
arm shock position: stock extension hole.
tower position: 2nd hole in from outside.
17lB springs.
piston: 1.1mm
25 wt oil.
2 degrees toe in.
droop: 4 on yokomo guage.
camber: -1.5
stock hub, stock position.
options:
SRC offset motor mount. Chassis is balanced.
2.4mm new upper deck.
Mazda 6 body.
1.9mm sway bar (used on carpet only)

What tires are you using, what ambient air temp, what track temp, what kind of surface (sealed, new asphalt, old asphalt) etc.?

Well, being the same track, same tire, and around the same time of year (very close to the same temp), and same traction compound I would think that Jeff's setup would not eat up tires so fast. It didn't when I used it last year. The only difference is probably the sauce on the track. Maybe its just my driving..ha!

P.S. I am using Sorex 36r with Xenon Green inserts.

Spur
I am running the 13.5 bl setup with the original bonded rotor and the 78 spur gear. I am almost have the largest pinion now. My next step will be replacing the rotor with the sinster rotor. Need to know what size spur gear is recommended to use and/or FDR.

I have the same question. We run at a 112' x 76' permanent outdoor asphalt track, med to low traction, and allow foam tires. What's a good RDX set-up on foams... and which foams ? and at what height, I assume 57 (big race) to 59 (club race).
Setups for stock and 19T....
