Just finished the upgrades , love how it looks
I am using the premium power 1300 lipo as well ...u can see it in the pics... fits nicely I fitted the other part into the compartment with the micro receiver (from DX3R)
now I want to upgrade to 18T / 52T and 25T / 45T ... can someone tell me if that is OK for our Moorebank track by any chance ? I think it offers highest acceleration with best top speed with my RB V12 R3 ... thats if I understood all the ratios correctly....

The drive pin in the Hex drive?............yep, that would do it. Lol
Sometimes the simplest thing can be our biggest downfall.
Please don't take offence. I really do not mean anything by it.

British Menace-
I just bought Steve Perez's G4S. The car is totally new and box stock. He mentioned to me that you could help me with a good setup for a small track with high traction. Also, a good setup for the UFO clutch (I think thats the one that comes with the G4S).
Thanks!

Hello slokomo
Good to hear you've got a G4S ! Welcome to the family !
Say hello to Steve for me................
Small track High Traction?
On the clutch I would go with this,
Mugan silver 'Super Hard' clutch spring.
0.3mm tension on the clutch spring.
0.5mm clutch gap
0.1mm end play on the bell when assembled. (Basically as little play as poss' but must have "some" movement!!)
No weights in the 3 fly weight shoes.
I would use the red clutch shoe. (It allows a little more slip as the black can tend to be too aggressive....... almost on / off like a light switch....lol)
That should get the best out of the clutch for you.
On set up..............
Let me know, how high traction? Do people have alot of problems with grip rolling? All makes of car? Is the traction that high?
It makes a small difference.
Let me know. I really have to rush off now.......family duties...lol
Taking children to the park!!

Unless your G4 is about 4 years old you'll be ok !
The tank which comes with the S is fine. No air traps and correct size too. As with all tanks (Any make) keep a check on the o ring in the lid and change if you suspect it.
If yours is new you should be ok for at least a year.
Also, ensure the tank mount at the front of the car has a small o ring on before you install the tank and the clip.
This helps to tilt the tank backwords and be able to use all the fuel in the tank.
The K Factory tank Patto referes to is very nice!! Comes with a better lid but is slightly heavier. Also comes slightly grey tinted too......very cool !!

As Aussies1129 pointed out. The weights effect how aggressively the clutch will engage. It has a little effect on when too, but not as much as the spring tension.
With less weights in the clutch plate will "slip" slightly before it really grips and you get full, direct drive to the drive train. This slight slip is almost none existant with 2 wieghts in, and the bite you get from the clutch can cause your tires to break loose and you loose grip.
The red clutch shoes can also help with this slippage too. They let an aggressively set up cluch slip a little so it doesn't break you car loose when you hit the gas hard.
Select the spring and the tension to how high up the rev range you want the clutch to engage, set the weights, shoe colour to how aggressively you want that engagement to be, the more grip you have, the more aggressive you can afford to be
Hope this helps.

[QUOTE=Omarko;4481324]ok ... thanks for the explanation ... will set it up tonight ...
also to kfactory make a ufo shoe in white which allows for better engagement the material I think is softer I bought this not aware that this shoe is best for high traction sufaces so i went back to the red ufo shoe and also have coming the kfactory brown hard shoe so there are a few factors that you have to consider to get the right clutch setup.have fun sat! I have a intercity meet in townsville running at night so I hope I can grasp the track to make the final the rs is running well its going to be down to how well I focus and a bit of luck.
cheers
