I would try this setup first, going by your description of your track. http://www.tytessman.com/setups/pdf/...ls-D815TWE.pdf
Also look at Reno Savoya's setups, they are easier to drive than Ty's.
If you want to try something different from the stock pistons, try the VRP range. Very good on a bumpy track.

I was excited about VRP's, until I learned that they break pretty easy. I'm not willing to blow $30 on a set of pistons that break.

I dont think that is the right setup for my track unfortunately.
Had CF plates front and rear and noticed the car was more forgiving without the front CF plates. Was also a little better whitout front and rear alu chassis stiffener.
I cant explain the track better so here is a vid from it:

Checked out a couple of Reno's setups but could not find one that i felt matced our track..
You dont got any tire tips for that track also? I want to try out sweep as they are cheaper and the $ is about 30% more expensive now than it was a while ago 👎
Appreciate your respond and all the good info in this thread👍

Hi all. Im having trouble getting full steering. Im running a 2274 and im only getting about 85% steering before it sort of binds and wont go anymore, but there is still plenty left by moving the wheel. Im running ty's DNC set up but have gone to the botton hole on the shock tower on the camber link.

Also, check for binding in the king pin. When I shim mine on the tight side, it can cause binding here and not give full throw.
Also, check your servo saver - is it adjusted tightly?

Check your akerman plates. The spacer goes between the plate and the link end itself, not above it like the manual states.

I will check the king pins tomorrow. What is actually binding with the king pins?
My servo saveris good i think, but i will have someone check it tomorrow. What gap are you running on the servo saver. I guessed mine from a photo of Ty's from the DNC.

I adjusted it like Ty's, then with the radio on, I grab one front wheel, and try to turn it. I like it to deflect VERY slightly - as I know the hits it'll take are great than what my hand will give.
The binding in the kingpin is odd to me, the link pulls "up" when I turn the steering wheel, this it what causes the binding. I believe this pull upwards is caused by the akerman setting itself.
I check EPA/Throw a little differently than most. Sure, I check it on the ground, but I also like to take the wheel, turn it all the way to one side with the controller and car OFF.
Then I will switch them both on, and see how far "off" the end point is. Remember, it doesn't need to throw 100% of the throw against the front arm, but I try for about 90-95% or so.

I also checked the throw with the car of and on and its only going about %80 percent of that. Even when the car is on at full throw of the steering wheel i can still turn the wheel but hand about another %15. I will check it out tomorrow and let you know how i go.
Thanks

[QUOTE=boggiii;14329395]Thank you :-)
I dont think that is the right setup for my track unfortunately.

I think the set up for your track is going to be a compromise. It apparently has high grip astroturf and slippery loose dirt.
Did you center your trim and sub-trim before putting the servo horn on? Is it possible the servo just can't turn anymore because of that?

I use Tamiya anti-wear grease on my outdrives for the past four cars that I've owned, and all of them had minimal wear. This grease if super thick and won't fling out(none on brake disks either). I just dab a tiny bit on the contact points and clean it out after every day of running. Yes, some dirt does get on, but the grease is still there. I'm sure they will slow down the wear process. Try it out if want to

Ok so bumpy,slippery loose dirt is the correct term? (Sorry for my English, not the best ;-) )
That is what i want to setup my car for as its those areas i have least control over the car.
Thank you :-)

I've been nothing but happy with my VRP'S.
[QUOTE=boggiii;14331952]
Set up sheets are out there for that. Go to www.TyTessmann.com and look at the track condition on his set up sheets. Otherwise post what you're currently running and describe what the car is doing that you don't like.
