Hello, I'm running a RC10B6.1 Factory Lite on carpet. I'm using a Reedy S+ 17.5T motor with a HobbyWing XR10 Justock ESC. All of my shocks have 30 WT oil inside them.
I have a result from my last race (first time racing for me):
(I came 6th out of 7, and that was because one guy crashed)- I did 14 laps in 5:11.913
- The dude in 5th did 15 laps in 5:04.437
- 4th = 17 laps in 5:13.891
- 3rd = 19 laps, 5:11.344
- 2nd = 19 laps, 5:01.992
- 1st = 20 laps, 5:12.333
I noticed that I'm the only Reedy guy, and I pass all the other buggies on the single straight at the track. I get passed fast on the curves, however. I know more practice is an essential element, but I also know my set up is an issue.
Carpet track, medium size, high to very high grip.
One person recommended using 32.5 WT to 35 WT shock oil in my front shocks to corner better. Would 50WT help me more?
Also, would I need a stiffer spring? I'm currently using the stock AE springs that came in my kit (white).
Another thing: Would positive camber help me out? My camber on the front and rear are neutral. My rear is toe-in, though.
Positive camber is /---\ if you look at the buggy from the front, correct? Positive camber gives you more turn in? I think I need more turn in if I'm not mistaken.
I have a 10cm wide custom front wing mounted behind my shock tower on my buggy. I haven't raced with it yet. It's basically a slightly angled, flat piece of leftover lexan.
Any information is appreciated!
