Someone mention using gear diff are perfect for rear wheel drive car. Am I put too much AW?
soft spring in rear? I thought hard spring in rear cause of motor weight. Ive thru M06 pro manual says red spring front, yellow spring rear.
What oil should I use? I want to try TRF VG #50 damper oil. It is good?
thanks Madulla for responding
Your track is bumpy? Type B's work in the heat so this is what I would work on, use neon red spring TRF blue Oring seals, TRF 3 hole pistons with 30w for rear 4-5mm ride ht. Use blk/red (soft) or blk/yel (med) spring TRF seals TRF 3 hole piston with 50w for front with 5-6mm ride ht and front swaybar to put traction at rear wheels in corner. CVA shocks are ok, I like to put two blk Orings glued together in the shock bladders. No Orings under shock pistons, use shims.
Take your diff apart clean it and put small amount of AW on each small gear only, if your traction is low this may help you power on better out of corners.
I also found the rear inner camber link mount to be weak, get some ShoeGoo wirebrush the plastic and apply to support, this will help keep camber set. I think one degree camber gives better traction and handles traffic well for me. Where I run the car most of the equipment is spec, tires, tamiya parts only, silver can motors this make setup a most important issue 60/40 (40=driving).
The M06 will fail in traffic if your body rubs the tire when pushed by another car.
Do well Edz
