Piston: 2
Oil: 35
Spring: silver
Limiter: 1
Tower: inner
Wishbones: outside
Camber: -1°
Linkage brace: Inner/ no washer

Tires: Schumacher Minipin yellow (normal to medium inserts)
Ride Height: low (collars almost completely up), but slightly higher
than front

Weight: ~ 40gr under rear brace, 20gr in the front, 10gr each in the
"triangles"
If you run Lipos, get some weight
under them to bring the car up to "old" weight, otherwise itīs
not stable enough. Place it as far to the front, too.
With this setup the car is easy to
drive and has a lot of steering. We race a lot on carpet during the
winter, so this should work. Tires first, so get this combination,
Stagger/ Minipin, both yellow, drives very well. As they come without
inserts, get some for the Minipins, but mount the Staggers without. If
you mount the Staggers on B4 rims you have to leave the inner bed
free, as they are made for thinner rims. Just glue them on the outside
and just leave them as they are on the inner part. Or take B2/ B3
rims.
As a UK guy you probably know you have to cut the edge that goes onto
the rim slightly on Schumacher tires before mounting them on AE
rims...
If you need more steering:
- drive the Minipins a few rounds
on concrete to tame their grip. Only them, not the Staggers!
- cut outer outer and maybe inner outer row of Minipins. Makes the
car go much "rounder" around the corners
Less steering:
- raise front end slightly
- raise rear brace linkage
- take middle hole on rear hub
- change to 30wt oil in the rear
Less aggressive acceleration:
- wear down rear tires slightly
- less antisquat
If the track has big jumps or rutty
parts, change to middle hole at rear tower.
One change in a row to be able to
see what it does and not to change things too drastically! Some other
things can be done, but try this setup as it is first and maybe post
your experience with it.
