- TeamC Racing TM2 - James Helliwell - Regionals - Robin Hood Raceway - 09.06.2013 -



At the RHR regional last weekend where I have to say the car was amazing, (1,1,1,1 & won A) my setup was the same as Dave Poulters below but with the following changes:
- Losi 35 oil front
- Losi 30 oil rear
- 40g behind low profil servo
- Gear diff 2000wt oil
- Inner hole drilled on rear wishbone and used that, 2mm restrictor inside shock
- Rear alloy bulkhead
- Front wing, mainly because the car seems to jump slightly nose up.

The car was superb everywhere but over rotated a bit on the slippier hairpins, I didn't have a ball diff at the time but i think this may alleviate some of this.


What's the thinking with the extra inner hole for the rear shocks?
The inner hole on the rear arm is something Iain Mellish did, I tried it and found it to help the car square up better coming out of tight slippier corners. It probably slightly reduces the speed at which you can take fast chicanes but the tradeoff is worth it as if the TM2 suffers with anything it seems to be putting the power down on slippy stuff and the rear stepping out. I've just got a ball diff to try this week which I tried briefly last night, first impressions are that it was a bit more fluid to drive, gear will be better on high grip though I think.

Which front wing are you using?
The front wing is just something I made from an old Losi front wing, its very basic, all it does is fill in the gap in the front shock tower, it has a slight scoop. I fastened it using the two front screws holding the front bulkhead on.
