Have you got the maximum 4mm ackerman setup on the car. I believe you need to get long ball studs before setting the car up with that much ackerman.

Its the part where the two ball studs sit together on the servo saver

Also have you tried playing with the anti-squat/anti-dive or whatever.... (the shims which sit under the pivot blocks)

is this the same as the much more anti wear grease?

iif you do that you have to make sure that you grind off the correct amount and make sure you sure that its even and smooth if not you will eat up the blades in a few minutes, your best bet is to get another rear aluminum diff and take the diffballs out and make it a spool.

looking good...
with the added 3mm of wheelbase... will it use the stock belts?

eta on availability?

From what I've read, the BMI asphalt chassis will have the same wheelbase as the BMI carpet chassis. The carpet version still uses both standard belts because the pulleys don't move at all, just the rear pivot block.

If you're looking for more steering try these changes:
-More Droop in the rear. I.E. smaller number on droop gauge. more off-power steering.
-Less Droop in the front. I.E. larger number on droop gauge. more on-power steering.
-If you have a sway bar on the front, remove it or try a lighter bar.
-Put the rear sway bar back on.
-Softer springs on front or harder springs on rear.
-Pro-Dive in front. F=1.5mm R=1.0mm - these are the shims under the pivot blocks.

What body are you running? Try a Mazda 6 or Speed 6 body. It'll give you more steering.

Don't try all of these at once. Try one at a time. Good luck.

try this set up !! the springs are 13 lbs if you dont have tamiya springs

2-Bad

I have the Much More stuff as well, but prefer the Tamiya as it is thicker/stickier (technical talk here ) IMO. It does attract dust/dirt to the area, but does not seem to effect the anti-wear properties of either the outdrives or the dogbone pins. Nor does it seem to affect the handling of the car either. If you keep reapplying it the wear is very, very low...

cheers, will give it a go when i get a new spool!!

Nice set-up. Thought you said you were running 10.75 FD? Is this a set-up for a shorter track?

Marcos.J

actually its a typo on the set up that FDR is with the 3.5 not the 4.5

i suggest you out try the version 3 spool : hb cyclone version 3 spool

i used to use the version of the spool that's included with the hara/surikarn editions. these can wear out quite fast (even with aw grease). after switching to the ver 3 spool, i've stuck with that. they last much longer, have replaceable outdrives that have 2 slots in them instead of 1 (meaning that they can last twice as long and is cheaper than replacing one whole spool when the slot in the outdrives wear out).
