Default Arrow: the first run

Yep
I've talked to Thijs yesterday (the guy who's driving the Arrow).
He found the car great to drive and very stable (that's the
most important thing for me, a well balanced car, great!).

I had given him the tips&tricks all of you PM'd me as starting point,
'cause I was a bit surprised to hear the rear would be tricky to get
it right.

After a few (very first) runs; this is what he came up with:

Body = Protoform Speed 12 GTP (.030)
Tires F/R = Black / Yellow
Tire additive = CorallyTC2 / F : 50% R : 100%
Springs F/R = 0.020 / CRC White
Center shock = CRC Copper / 20Wt
Front suspension = Old Skool (no xtra shims)
Rear suspension = CRC Tubes (crc red lube)

Motor = 19T
Gearing = 37 mm
Total Weight = 825 gr (without PT)

Remarks =
car handles good, very stable,
not as direct as it should be when entering corners:
maybe switch from Black to Purple ? (no Purple at
hand) / change front spring;rear traction OK - stick with Yellow.


I guess purple would do the trick in front?
I'll keep you informed about car handling on some other set-ups !
