I need help finding a good starting point for our local track. Now that the TCS Race is over, I'm looking to race my IFS-R in the 17.5 stock class at our track. Our track is an indoor asphalt, high traction smooth and flat.
The setup I used for the TCS race (GT3) felt spot on for my driving style. I installed the 17.5 setup in the car and something happened.
What felt like a perfectly balanced, easy to control car during TCS became just the opposite with the brushless setup.
My current setup is:
- No sway bars
- short white (hard) springs (f/r)
- 1.5 degree camber (f/r)
- 50wt oil w/3 hole pistons
- 6 mm droop (f/r)
- I ran B-type tires for the TCS
The other weekend racers run Xrays for the most part. The tire of choice is the Jaco Prism Rubber blue w/ no smell traction compound.
There is only one other guy racing a Tamiya chassis in this class at our track. He has a TB03, and he's having difficulty finding a setup he is happy with.
I'm open for any and all comments and suggestions.
