Hi all, I'm after a setup for loose dirt, small track, slightly rutted with only 1 jump to speak of. Can anyone either point me in the direction of a good setup or give me any advice to go on. I've got a double header weekend of nationals and this could be my chance to move up the old rankings a bit.

Hi mate,

ive never raced on dirt but would imagine a good set up would be similar to what we use at Worksop which is quite slippy.

Some good sets ups can be found here:

I would say you want to be using thinner diff oils on loose dirt as this will help gain side bite and generate more grip.

Maybe try 3k in the rear ah 5k in the front.

Hope this helps a little.

In OZ on low traction tracks, fast guys are running heavy difs. 50k front and 20k back. I'm at 20k front and 2k back.

A big event last weekend, the TQ and second on the grid were both running these oils, 50/20. It allows you to drive the car very very hard.

Be aware that when the 410 is over rotating on loose surface, you have to punch more trigger to keep it on line, then you're laughing.
