Just posting an updated setup for
Brushless 17.5 (Stock). I picked up almost 3 tenths a lap over the
previous week and the car is definitely closer to what I've been
wanting in driving and handling. And yes, this setup TQ'd and won.
Front:
CRC Magenta Fronts with 3/4 width
soak
Springs: .45mm
CRC White cap (Heavy) lube on kingpins
Caster: 10° block, 3 shims back, 0 forward (full caster in)
Ride height: 3.5mm
Toe In/Out: 0
Mid:
Spring: Gold (Associated)
Oil: 30Wt
Battery in Rear position
Rear pod level with chassis in race trim
Rear:
CRC Pink Rears with full width soak
Side springs: Red, 2 turns preload
Damper Tubes: CRC White cap (heavy)
Ride height: 4mm
Pod droop: 2mm
3.11 rollout (43/78 with 1.80"
tires)
Parma Speed 8 Body
Dual rate was set so that the car did
circles half the width of a 6 foot lane. I did not use full lock in
the turns, and most turns are 180°'s.
Traction was about low/medium, more on
the medium side I would say. A good groove was visible but nothing
like a major event or anything. It was just a regular weekly race.
