- Kyosho Ultima RB5 - Stu Wood - Indoor Setup - 07.12.2008 -

 

Had a great day today with the RB. Made a few changes to the rear anti squat. I turned upside down the front pivot block which will lower the front position about 2.5mm and put a 1mm washer under the rear block. Shortened the front camber link to the middle on the tower and the inner on the caster block. Went really well and TQ'd. Had a bit of a play with the front bulk head block (brass) and I have settled with it being 30'. This gave me more positive turn in and I had more confidence with the car. Even got to push it a little in the final after a bad start. Really looks like it getting there now. My next thing is to try and make a little more droop.

Setup started off at Worksop and tweeked a little then at Bury Indoors.

Worksop: rubber sports floor

Bury: indoor running track, some corners.
