setup help?
 

hi there,

i am getting confused with my set up on my losi 8ight 1.5. my local track is very bumpy and usually dusty but last night it was damp and very sticky mud.

does anyone have a good standard set up for bumpy tracks? has anyone tried the set up's on the losi website e.g truhe set up, and which one works best on bumpy tracks?

many thanks

lewis

how does the diff react if I fill my diff up in my Losi:-

5-5-5 = ??
5-7-3 = ??
5-7-5 = ??

Similar to Lewis asking in similar condition.

has anyone got any advise for me!

and king offroad look at the thread on rc setup video guide by squirrelod

here is a link http://www.rctech.net/forum/nitro-of...quirrelod.html

What is a 1.5?

keep the right height a little higher and it might help.

A 1.5 is like a losi 1.0 with a hole bunch of 2.0 parts? Correct me if im worng.

I dont think no one is going to have a exact set up for one of these. You will have to try and play with the set up and see.

yes rcdude your right. it is all the important 2.0 parts that make a difference. e.g chassis, shock towers, hub and spindle carriers etc.

does anyone have a setup sheet or know a setup that is a good starting point on bumpy tracks?

many thanks

Try starting with the basic 2.0 set up then tune from there, go up 1mm in front and rear on ride hight and a and droop to 97 front and 108 rear. Just a thought....

i was thinking of starting with the truhe setup?

but which of these setup's would everyone recommend starting with on a bumpy track?

many thanks

when i ran my 1.0 eight last year, the mike truhe setup worked pretty good on a bumpy track the only thing.. i changed was i used 25w in the rear and used toe out on the front.

oh wait i used the his, nitro pit setup sorry but that worked good on a bumpy track.

well i am currently running 2.0 shock towers so the setup positions are the same a 2.0. so anyone who is running a 2.0 on a bumpy track can i have a link or something?

many thanks

Email Adam Drake for a setup for those type of conditions and he will send you one. I would look at Adam's setup for the Silver State race which was really loose and blown out. The only difference was adjustable pivots, #55 piston drilled out to a #54, 37.5wt in the front, and 7k in the center.

Adam Drakes Silver State Setup - that track was blow the F out.....

i wouldnt do higher than 3 in my rear diff but thats just me, when i ran losi my favored set up was 5-5-2 and shock 30wt in front ans 27.5 in rear...Losi shock oils and Mugen Seiki diff oils.

what is adam drakes email, so i can ask him?

so the adam drake silver state setup will work well on bumpy tracks?

many thanks

lewis
