- Kyosho Ultima RB5 - Tel - Loose Track Setup -

 

I race on very different track in TX. I have been fighting for rear end side bite for a long time without the car dumping the rear in high speed sections. It's hard packed but the dirt contains a lot of sand so we still end up with fluff. Due to the sand we have to run wet or we get zero traction. The layout is interesting mix of high speed sweepers (including an oval banked "bowl" turn), mid sized jumps and tight 180's. After settling on step pins as the tire after trying just about everything out there.

Here is the setup.
