- Team Associated RC10B4 - Good Starting Point for Carpet Track -

 

Front:

Piston: 2
Oil: 35
Spring: silver
Limiter: 0
Tower: middle
Wishbones: inside
Linkage Tower: inner/ 1 washer
Linkage steering block: inner
Steering block: middle
Bump Steer: 1 washer
Caster: 25°
Camber: -1°
Axles: trailing
Toe: 0
Tires: Schumacher Stagger yellow (without inserts)
Ride Height: arms lower than level

Rear:

Piston: 2
Oil: 35
Spring: silver
Limiter: 1
Tower: inner
Wishbones: outside
Camber: -1°
Linkage brace: Inner/ no washer
Linkage hub: Inner
Tires: Schumacher Minipin yellow (normal to medium inserts)
Ride Height: low (collars almost completely up), but slightly higher than front
Antisquat: 2°
Wheelbase: middle

Battery: front
Wing: low
Chassis etc.: plastic
Pinion: Small (motor more to the front)
Weight: ~ 40gr under rear brace, 20gr in the front, 10gr each in the "triangles"

If you run Lipos, get some weight under them to bring the car up to "old" weight, otherwise itīs not stable enough. Place it as far to the front, too.

With this setup the car is easy to drive and has a lot of steering. We race a lot on carpet during the winter, so this should work. Tires first, so get this combination, Stagger/ Minipin, both yellow, drives very well. As they come without inserts, get some for the Minipins, but mount the Staggers without. If you mount the Staggers on B4 rims you have to leave the inner bed free, as they are made for thinner rims. Just glue them on the outside and just leave them as they are on the inner part. Or take B2/ B3 rims.
As a UK guy you probably know you have to cut the edge that goes onto the rim slightly on Schumacher tires before mounting them on AE rims...

If you need more steering:

- drive the Minipins a few rounds on concrete to tame their grip. Only them, not the Staggers!
- cut outer outer and maybe inner outer row of Minipins. Makes the car go much "rounder" around the corners

Less steering:

- raise front end slightly
- raise rear brace linkage
- take middle hole on rear hub
- change to 30wt oil in the rear

Less aggressive acceleration:

- wear down rear tires slightly
- less antisquat

If the track has big jumps or rutty parts, change to middle hole at rear tower.

One change in a row to be able to see what it does and not to change things too drastically! Some other things can be done, but try this setup as it is first and maybe post your experience with it.
