Thanks for the input.
I've firstly bought a set of carbons and 1.0mm springs. I'll do a few tests to see what the other ones feel like but for now the 1.0 springs should definitely help, id rather make one change at a time, instead of a few all at once & not know what individual influence each had.
Also- I know there are a fair few tires on the market and a few that are mentioned here & there, but anything that seems to stand out above the rest? I'm currently running sweeps.

I run Novarossi here in the UK as well as a few of my buddies. We tried the 2-Alu setup but it just backs up inside and destroys the end bell. For us at least with our Novarossi Mitos and relatively low traction conditions the Yellows with 1mm springs and the standard steel bell was FAR superior. At the end of the day different conditions call for different setups. 2x Alu with 2x Carbon works ok but for us Yellow was definately the way to go.
Yea i think with Nova thats a great combo. crazy how much of a difference setups are across the pond!

You can pretty much run it stock setup which will make the car fairly neutral and easy to drive. I’m assuming there will be multiple drivers on this car during the event.
Short headers are better for GT Racing. With the favourite being the conical NR 41032 header.
For endurance racing I would personally run the standard carbon black shoes with the 1mm springs and standard steel clutch bell.
Tires, I would recommend Sweep 50’s as these are really long wear and still give good traction throughout the life of the tire. I personally don’t like GRP but that maybe just me.

Thank you Dan.
My son is racing the 3.0 spec along with 2 other drivers in the team. For a 3 hr enduro, wont the all carbon shoes be too soft? Will we have to change out during race? Would a 2 aluminium and 2 carbon with medium springs work?. Is the 1mm the hard spring?

You won’t need to change anything during the race. Depending how abrasive the track is I wouldn’t be surprised is Sweep 50’s will do most if not all the race. Maybe 1 change.

Don’t use medium springs in GT. 1.0mm are X-Hard springs. The carbon shoes last long enough for the enduro but sure 2 carbon and 2 Alu will also work. You can try 0.95 hard springs on the Alu shoes and 1mm X-hard on the carbon shoes.

Yes fine. The metal pro brakes set was discontinued. Replaced with the disk and pads from the SRX8 buggy which are really good and less 'grabby' when hot.

They are V2 parts. Remember the original 1.0 cobra didn’t have those parts. Trust me the P/Ns are correct. I mean just look in the cobra 3.0 manual and you’ll see these parts are new.
