Rudebits C4.1 carbon chassis

[julianb]

Hey chaps,

Anyone else using one of these. Tried mine for the first time at Arena X on Sunday, and after a play with setup, achieved possibly my best results ever with a 2WD buggy.

Really looking forward to some Mid East Regionals now!!!!

Cheers

What set up were you using out of interest?

Hi,

setup as follows for a wood and carpet track:-

Ride Height: 22mm

Springs: Green front and rear, (tried brown on front but a little too much steering).

Shock positions: Front, inner hole top. Rear, inner hole top, inner hole bottom.

Rear roll centre, second hole from top.

Oil: 35 front 27.5 rear

Pistons: can't remember!!!!

Tyres: Rear - DBoots ,Schumacher medium insert. Front - Schumacher Cut Stagger rib, no insert.

Caster: 30 degree.

Weights: 60g under lipo, 62g under servo. Under steering weight, brass front bulkhead, Ghea front weight.

Camber: Two degrees rear, one degree front.

Toe: Zero degree front. Three degree rear.

Motor SP 7.5, Nosram Pearl ESC, KO 2343 servo, KO 2.4 radio.

Shell: Standard C4.1 Centro

Rear wing: Standard, no Gurney flap.

This is by no means definitive, just where I arrived at after finding a setup that gave me a nice amount of grip and steering. The track was relatively flat, so a circuit with larger jumps and less grip (Worksop for instance), may well mean a rethink... Have to say that the improvement in consistency was a marked improvement over my previous chassis...

Was this the 3.2 chassis or the one with the weights???
Sounds like the weights one...
How's it performing now?

Sorry to change the subject slightly chaps but if you run the 3.2 chassis, do you still have to use the brace that goes from gearbox housing to battery holder?
