- Team Xtreme Predator X11 - Kevin Lee - Base Setup - 2008 -

 

This is my setup at the moment and one that i have changed very little over the last few weeks... its been a great setup at Eden Park, Stotfold, Kidderminster, wet or dry.

The only mods i have done are to stand the servo up and finding some slightly longer shafts on the rear shocks (this can be achieved by undoing the joint slightly but with the risk of it stripping off). I've also dremelled a little away from the rear of the front upper wishbones to let the suspension droop more and taken a little bit off the rear hubs that catch the wishbones. Getting more droop front and rear has made a huge difference.

Front
  • Spring - Yellow
  • Additional 57 hole in piston
  • Oil 30-35wt
  • ball joint done up on shock just showing thread
  • push rod turnbuckle - 34mm - mounted on top of yoke
  • top wishbone fully back (max caster)
  • ride height 19mm
  • max droop (measure with shuey mini spikes) - 40mm
  • Roll bar in short link (front hole in wishbone)
  • camber 1 deg
  • Slight toe out

Rear

  • Red spring with compensator spring
  • middle hole on wishbone (thats with the longer shaft, may need lower hole)
  • Additional 57 hole in piston (standard one is about 57 also)
  • 25-30wt oil depending on temp
  • Hubs high
  • Roll bar in short link (rear hole in wishbone)
  • wing forward no gurney- see picture
  • toe-in 3 degs
  • 1 deg camber
  • ride height - 21mm (which is wishbone just below level)
  • max droop (measure with shuey mini spikes) - 45mm

Extras

  • Motor Tekin Redline 5.5 geared on 18/72
  • One-way shaft
  • Bumper cut down to improve ground clearance on landing jumps - see picture
  • Cone washers used on front hub ball joints to prevent them popping out of position
