2008 Reedy Race Warm Up

This was the first time on the Sorex premounts for a lot of us, but my car was pretty good from the first run on. For anyone going to the reedy race that hasn't run the tires yet, just expect your car to push on the 2'nd run on these tires, it's a pretty big difference between the 1'st and 2'nd run.

Anyway I changed a few small things on my setup and the car really came in. Managed to TQ and win the race after a bumper to bumper battle with Steve Weiss for the first 4 or so mins of the race, it was a lot of fun!

I was just very happy with how quickly I was able to adapt the car to the new tires.

My changes from my posted setup are:

Moved the front arms all the way forward
Moved the ackerman to the outside holes on the bellcrank
Moved the front swaybar mounts to the inside hole on the arm
Mounted the body 4mm more forward

Notes:

-5 cell chassis used, receiver mounted in front of batteries.
-Upper deck was cut to allow more flex. (see pictures)
-Used 2 gears in rear diff.
-TRF shocks with stock Tamiya bladders with nothingabove.
-Tamiya pistons used.
-AE lower spring retainers, and shock ends with 2mm cut.
-.5mm anti-squat.
-Front pivots raised .5mm + .5mm anti-dive.
-Steering limited 1mm with spacer glued to knuckle.
