Hi guys, today i finally managed to test the Evo 2.

Great handling but i have a problem with the clutch. Setuped not well as i need to rev the engine to much to get it ingaged.

Can you kindly give me some tips, at the back of the bell i.e. behind the bearing i have 2 bit thick shims and 1 very thin shim.

Tried removing the 1 very thin shim and obviosly placed it in the front but still it was bad.

Unscrewed a bit the spring tension by almost a 90 degree, but still way off.

Is there some sort of trick how to setup centax clutches?

Thanks

hi guys

was going to order some tyres and now i know i need some 2mm offsets, i guess ill have to get some Twister tyres.

my question is whats the deal with the kyosho rims, everyone seems to prefer them. why??

are they better in terms of less prone to cracking, or do they offer some sort of flex to benefit traction.

hope someone can help.

thanks

Hi!

Have anyone know how big are holes for engine mount screws in main chassis from SCO?

They are for M3 or for M4?

I'm looking for new chassis for my RRR


Regards!

Hey Brad I run a RRR in Brisbane and I run the Matrix tyres in a 2mm offset, There readily available in Brisbane and I would think Melbourne as well. I have been running them since last October and I find them a great wearing tyre with excellent grip. I have used them in Sydney as well and will do at the nats next month and they were good for me there as well.

hi batto

haven't even heard of those tyre so i guess that they aren't used to much down here in melbourne, not even seen anyone run matrix, maybe because the seem more expensive just looking at a few sites, that had them.

The older car used 2mm wheels, I recently tested them to figure out what I was going to take to nationals and discovered that I liked 2mm offset rears in the tighter corners but liked the 0mm evo2 type setup (not the 2mm shim style as was used on evo1) is seems more stable in higher speed corners. Possibly because of wheel flex allowing for more traction, I'm not really sure. 30mm of wheel is a lot to have on a near 0 offset from the outside edge or perhaps the change in geometry is just enough to be important.

For those of you in Australia, Twister is most likely imported as ATS. RB had a batch of tires made by ATS at one point but a rumor floated past me that they were no longer ATS. IDM tires are also ATS. Matrix is not.

ATS is the current IFMAR worlds winning tire for both 8th scale and 10th scale nitro onroad if that helps you pick a brand. The kyosho style is nice because it is very light (as light as the Twister serpent style pro-lights) and you can use 2mm or 0mm rears with the same fronts plus you can lose more weight with pro-lights over the regulars by about 12-15g for the whole car.

I think the Matrix tyre was on the TQ car at last years 1/10 worlds in Portugal and 6 or 7 cars in the final were on Matrix. At the Euros last month in Gubbio I think 44 drivers of the 111 were on Matix tyres and the next closest in drivers using a particular brand was in the teens. This info I got from Redrc. Trackside is the Australian importer for the tyre if that helps. They have a shop in Melbourne and of course do postage. Hey each to their own they work for me and other guys up here in Brisbane so it comes down to your preference and of course the costs
