How serious is the durability problem with the flying wing arms? We are in the middle of converting our track to a permanent one with 2x4's as the outer boundaries - if the arms are not as tough as they are at the moment it could be a frsutrating race day.

mate the rain dance you did must of been the wrong one as we have had non stop rain with flooding and gale force winds with no sign of let up.and a low with the potential of becoming a cyclone just off shore??so no testing.

I went through the setup you gave me and found that when adjusting droop the right side does not travel down completly onto the droop setscrew there is a gap between the screw and chassis where as the other side is smooth you lift up the arm and let it go a it has full travel right down and stops when the setscrew hits the chassis,any suggestions on how to get the other side to do the same?
cheers

front or rear is doing this ?
if front, check the cam adjustment on the front swaybar, loosen the screw and move the eccentric see if the arm comes down onto the droop screw.
if its on the rear, check your shock lengths are the same. there is no tweak adjustment for the rear, but make sure your swaybar at the rear isnt doing this. just undo the bars at the top, slide them out. if still it is doing it. remove the shocks, and see if still does this.
i must have done the wrong dance. we had no rain here, as usual

Altis 2.3 Body....


anywhere now where to get one of these in the states?


also what do you guys have your rear set screw set to?

I went off my G4S specs and at 4mm they seem to be sticking out a whole lot.

well its not good for tracks where there are pipes or boards all around. i find a purpose built track (hence grass runoff areas) its not so bad. once a wall or something is hit, say goodbye to shock balls on the arms or they break.
i had quite a few impacts a couple of weekends ago. seems mostly from the front. i used Std G4S arms at the front, and flying arms on the rear. no front arms were replaced, and i have just got the car ready for next meet, but went through a set of rear arms. i have spent most of the weekend getting the old arms to fit the RS on the rear. so i am confident ill not be doing rear arms now also.

ignorance is bliss.

i have seen 3 guys tell you about the droop screws.
no setup is the same. if you download a setup sheet, and it says to run 1 or 2mm droop, then thats what you use. but dont go putting on smaller tires or larger tires than what that setup sheet said to use. tire diameter changes your droop values. i dont know anyone who measures the droop by the protruding setscrew. the manual gives you a guide to go by, while it is easy enough to actually measure the set screw. if some one says RH + 2 (darren johnson uses this method) i also use this method. it means ride hieght of say 5mm (RH = 5) droop is then + 2mm over ridehieght when the wheels just lift off the ground. so the hieght between chassis and the ground is then 7mm.
you obviously adjust the set screw to achieve this value. amount of droop also changes when you are driving on a bumpy surface, so dont be under the impression that once this screw is set, that you wont have to adjust it no more. if you are using droop blocks, then the 0 is chassis hieght. a positive value is above chassis hieght (hub returns above chassis hieght) a neg value, means the hub returns below chassis hieght. a negative value will give you more droop once wheels are on and car on the ground. hope this helps

thats Fine Mike.
just a few people are demanding the help, and forget to realise that most are just normal racers that offer the help. manners are of importance at times, or these people will just stop looking at the thread and offer help, then the thread dies off, people then dont race the car.
a simple , cheers, thanks, Ta how ever one wants to express it, its fine.
cheers

Raceday also has the Blitz Altis 2.3. I just got me two but haven't painted them yet. First impression: the body is very rigid and strong in areas that need to be.
