Is the white edition going to use same overdrive gears the yellow edition used ? Just trying to see what else I have to order outside the box . Thanks

I just built a brand new White Edition, out of the box, put it on the track, and it was immediately dialed!
So far all our cars have taken some time to break in in my opinion, and I have never been a fan of new cars. But looks like we have done something right this time! :nod: When you build yours, just be sure to check the arms are free, and the hubs are free in the arms, swaybars are set right, and all links are set to standard setup lengths. Cars should be with you before Christmas, so take your time over the holidays ;) Will have a lot of set up guides etc during next year. Also included a bunch in the manual. I am confident you will all be stoked with the new car! Just think that just over 3 years ago all we had was stickers and T shirts. Imagine how much we can improve the white edition over the next year with everyone running it. Our basic set up will surely improve a lot! |
I just need a good Astro setup as that's just about the only surface we got here in the U.K

mikewild74, I have a question for you. I have never ran on an an Astro track. If the track is out doors and it is rainy/damp what does that do for traction on the astro surface?

Makes it very VERY slippy . Traction gets a bit better if the track sees a lot of rain ,once the oil from the tuned pipes has a chance to soak through the astro and not make the surface as slick. Traction is still very low though . Traction is so high in the dry that most people that run Schumacher mini pins have 5 or7 rows trimmed off the front tyres (3or4 outside rows and 2or3 inside rows ) to try to avoid grip roll |

The weather in the UK is wet a lot of the time. With as much rain as they get the astro turf surface makes it possible to race every weekend and not have to cancel races because the track does not have time to dry in cool weather.

In Scotland , the dryest areas still see an average if 150 days of rain per year . I like racing on astro . Car stays clean for easier maintenance lol and our track is 4 years old now and all we need to do to it is repair piping
