I wish everyone was that happy when they got a box, would make buying x-mas presents much easier

Default Slippy floor set-up

Hermie

I'm back in the UK now so I'll be joining the great British tradition of slippy floor racing, much mocked by our stateside pals! Could you post your set-up?

Cheers

I would post my setup but after Monday night I'm not sure if you'd want it
Will rebuild and recheck everything for next week and see if I can get back to some degree of decent handling
In general I've gone very soft on the springs, 7.0x1.4 all round at the moment and fairly normal settings elsewhere, with the kit rear hubs on to give 3.8 degrees of rear toe in. Shock positions change a lot since the dust levels are always different but I tend to favour the outer holes on the suspension arms, and middle holes on the shock towers. Although I'll try the inner holes on the rear shock towers when I get shorter shock bodies, the long ones are a pain in the back side right now, always having to limit where I place the shocks due to lack of up travel.

Can't wait to get my box. Then I can put wheels on it and race it. Poor aerodynamics though.
