Team Driver Setups
Thad's Modified Setup (works at just about any
asphalt track with minor tweaks):
11/17/99
Front:
40 wt oil, #5 pistons, no spacers, 64mm total length
Pink Linear springs, stock shock positions (A-1)
1 degree negative camber, 8 degrees caster, 2 degrees kick-up
Toe-in: 0 degrees
Camber link in stock position (U-2)
33R tires with Yokomo Medium shaped inserts

Blue Linear springs, A-3 shock positions
1 degree negative camber, 2 degrees toe-in
Camber link in stock position (#2)
33R tires with Yokomo Medium shaped inserts
2mm roll center spacer (allows use of softer springs in rear, more rear
traction)
Ride Height:
4mm front, 4mm rear
Team Orion Chrome 9 Double motor using #41004 brushes, 122/29 gearing
HPI Dodge Stratus body
LRP V6 ESC, set to very low or no brakes, no plug
Super Front One-Way Diff and 15T Aluminum Pulley
This set-up is with saddle pack batteries. This setup works good for high- to medium-bite asphalt surfaces. Thad races mostly at SoCal R/C Raceway in Huntington Beach, CA.
The addition of the one-way diff and pulley allow you to maintain corner speed, while the gearing of the motor allows you to have good punch out of the turns. Getting used to using no brakes may take some practice, so be sure to try this out before you race!
Good luck racing!
