Just came back from the Players where I've done a lot of setting up on the FS
and finally got the car about where I want it to be. Here's my final setup which
was giving me laptimes similar to the guys i'd normally be racing:
Front
Shocks : 3B pistons, 40W oil, inside on tower, middle on wishbone, cap unscrewed
3 turns
Turnbuckles : inside on hub with 3mm spacers, outside on gearbox with -1mm
spacers (lower ball stud)
Hubs : 7°, spacer at the bottom, 3mm bump steer with normal ball studs (actually
tamiya ball nuts with a screw coming from under the knuckle so it doesn't strip),
1.5mm for ackermann
2mm under front suspension block
Front diff
Rear
Shocks piston 2 holes drilled at 1.5mm, silver springs, out on tower in on
wishbone
turnbuckles : outside on hub with 2mm, middle on gearbox with -1mm (same as
front), UM519 hubs (or actually std suspension graphite hubs on top hinge pin
hole, which is exatly the same).
1mm anti squat, short wheelbase, 3° toe in, silver driveshafts, rear 1.2mm ARB.
No dam on wing, 4° angle, mid position on the tower.
That's about it, car was getting good finally, was an absolute dream to fly it,
it'd take the mega jump and land it spot on (unless i'd overcooked it and
overshot the down ramp but that was the same for everyone) every time.
