Petit set up

[Bagman]

Hi there, any idea is Craig is going to put up his (very successful) set up from the Ardent race. I'm going to a very similar track next month and would like to give it a test run at my club race this weekend.

Also if anyone wants to sell their DEX410 please PM me.

This may be a silly question especially since I am having troubles with my Rango, but why would you not want to run a sway bar on high grip carpet?

I reckon the extra help is the glue on the tyre.....off to buy some tyre glue :lol:

Hi mate,

roll bars are about personal preference, and on this track i didnt feel they were necessary. My car was planted all day and didnt for a minute feel like it was on edge or prone to grip rolling.

I did try a front roll bar in practice but didnt like the way the car felt when turning. My car felt more consistent without the roll bar, but i did cut two rows off the outer tread, one off the inner and a thin layer of glue on the outside tyre wall. This made the car handle more like a touring car, which was perfect on such high grip carpet.

Most of the TD drivers were using roll bars so guess it just depends on how you like your car to handle depending on your driving style.

Hope this helps

Oh yeah home trick :lol:

Great thanks! So how do you apply the tire glue to outside of tire. Do you do it directly or sorta wipe it with sponge. Seems it could get messy in a hurry?

[stegger]

Use a cotton bud. This is an old trick 1/12th,mardave and foam saloon racers have used for years to help the outside edge of the tyre firm up and takes away the grip off the outside of the tyre.;)

Oh yeah home trick :lol:

Haha!

Best way to glue the outer tyre wall is as Fabs did on mine. Get a flat headed screw driver, dip it in your tyre glue then spread it around the outer tyre wall. Fabs did mine so the glue went over the chopped off outer tread.

Never done this before but it really transformed the way my car handled!

Cheers fabs! :thumbsup:
