CAT SX setup discussion
 
Hey guys - this is a new car and I'm sure it'll be a massively popular one which is new to everyone, so feel free to use this sticky for setup discussion. :)

According the online instruction manual, page 36, I think there's something wrong with first table:

Shock diaphrams?
 
Hi. Just been reading Mr Moss's worksop set up. It says diaphram centres cut out and removed. How,what and why is what I was wondering? Thanks for all the advise. It is invaluable with such a new car. Cant wait to run mine. :thumbsup:

oliv : give us a clue what you think is wrong i'm clearly missing something

the shocks have bladders fitted as standard like most tourers and 1/8th rallycross, cut means the top of the bladder has been removed making the shock more tike the associated 1/10th buggy style, its just another tuning option.

Think he might be thinking that it means the minimum teeth is 99 yet it goes down to 80 on the chart.

But if you look oliv, the total minimum 'combination' of spur+pinion is 99 total, 83 spur + 16 pinion = 99total.
And max combination is 80 spur + 28 pinion = 108 total.

I know it has 80 spur and 16 pinion on the chart, but I'm assuming that this combination can't be used.

So therefor it all looks correct to me.
:thumbsup:

Pretty much spot on. While i have been testing the car all year Ive have tried shocks with full diaphrams and the cut diaphrams. All i do is cut the complete centre out so you are left with the outer ring. You need this so the oil doesnt leak out of the bleed hole at the side. Personally, ive found the shocks with cut diaprams feel better as opposed to the others, they feel more fluid and give less inital pack in my opinion.

Assuming following data:
Diff pulley: 36T
Pulley just before diff: 20T

For the first cell (pinion 16T, spur gear 83T and 34/22 combination) it would be:
(83/16)*(34/22)*(36/20) = 14.43 instead of 14.37 :eh?:

The two others tables are correct ;)

looks like somebody incorrectly calculated the internal ratio to be 2.77.

if i'm honest i hadn't looked that deeply into it as all the numbers appear sensible at first glance.

3 Questions.....

What pinion size should i be looking at for a kit set-up 33/23/83 using an LRP Sphere TC Speedo, and LRP Vector X11 5.5 with a sintered rotor?

What is the rule of thumb when you change a bonded rotor for a sintered rotor with regard to pinion size?

Is Worksop clased as high or low traction?

Cheers in advance.

Will you be using Lipo or NiCad ryan ?:lol::lol::lol:

Seriously though Lipo or Nimh ?

Kecky 21-09-2008 07:23 PM

3600 Duracel Bunnies going like the clappers :lol:

But if i can't find that many, i'll put the Lipo in :thumbsup:

stegger 22-09-2008 07:46 AM

You might need to put a 6.5 in ryan if your using Lipo it will be rapid;)

Kecky 22-09-2008 07:55 AM

Especially with my all or nothing thumbs :lol:





*Note to self: 2 packs of front wishbones just incase* :lol:

Kecky i've heard they are bringing out a maintenance pack for £90 with a load of stuff in it like WISHBONES:woot: etc. If you buy the same parts on there own it would cost you more:)

Due to a change in motor, can anyone help me with the gearing.

I will now be running a Novak Velocity 7.5L Motor, and Trakpower 3600 Lipo cells, with the kit set-up 33/23 & 83 Spur.

The instructions with the motor state you should gear 2 teeth lower than you would use for a 12 or 13 turn brushed motor.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm guessing here and going from other setups but i'd start on a 21t and go from there ryan. Better to gear low and be safe mate.:)

Kecky 24-09-2008 01:23 PM

Cheers Stegger

The motor info sheet says 2 teeth lower than a 12t or 13t brushed motor and 1 tooth lower than the 7.5R motor.

I'll start off with a 21 and take it from there :)

MattW 24-09-2008 04:24 PM

I run Speed Passion 5.5 on 21 pinion, so i'd go up at least a couple if it were me.
