I'm no setup expert, I'm sure some mixer will jump in and tell me why this is wrong. But that said, my experience is that it allows the car to roll around more and helps get some steering from the middle of the corner out. I'm trying to fight off an army of fast Awesomatix cars that are stunningly fast through the corners, so it's a constant battle trying to get out of the middle of the corner faster. I think it makes it feel a little lazy in fast transitions though, and can be prone to traction rolling depending on the grip.

I feel like my '14, much like the cars it replaced, has chronic understeer in the middle of the turns. Maybe it's okay compared to other belt drive cars out there, but in the slower classes, the shaft is destroying us.

I agreed this car suffers badly with mid corner understeer, Mine looks like it stops mid corner

It said "grippgoat" when I looked at it. I think they've got a bug.

If you open a set up on the Xray site using the left button of the two options i.e. not clicking the pdf file, it inserts your Xray forum username in the set up sheet

Is anyone running a hex through the bottom shock mounts? This is my first TC and coming from offroad, this seems weird.

If you are running a hex, what is the size/type of the hex.

Thanks

The screw size that fits into the ball is 2mm. I'm sure some people have run a screw through the bottom, but I've never had a problem with the stock setup.

Yes, sorry I mistyped

What are you going to do up top then? Longer screw with a nut?

Using the 3mm set screw style shock mounting to the arm works great, recommend using a "little" loctite for security. I too thought this was odd, coming from an offroad background, but I've never experienced it coming loose.

If you use a screw straight into the arm, sooner or later the arm will strip from regular removal of the shock.

The xray system is fantastic and like it for a reason.

Why would it strip? We run outdoor like this and don't have arms stripping.
