sx3 questions

[leeboy44]

hi guys
ive made the move from a durango to the sx3, its all ready to go for its first outing and i cant wait.

just a few questions,

im running indoors on a small ish carpet track ive set my duffs low would you say this is the best setting?

i been told have the rear diff high?
also running 32.5 losi shock oil in rear and 40 in the front using springs the car come with, is this ok?

ive never run big bores before and before the durango i had a 10 year brake so a lot has changed.

all help will be great thanks lee

run both diffs low

[leeboy44]

thanks jim, then would i be right in saying both diffs high for outdoors?

[bigred5765]

you only run the diffs high in very very low grip conditions, ie hard packed dirt or slippy polished floor,

No like the post above said keep them low, I have run sx2 and now sx3 and have always ran them low I would run the rest of ur set up as per the book, are u running all the spacers under the belt tensioner if so u may have to take some out after 2/3 meeting hope this helps
Jim :thumbsup:

yeah running all the spacers that the book says, im the belts will need adjusting after a few runs.


there is some talk of belts braking this dont sound good so early in the sx3 life :o
