ZX5-SP damp astro / multi surface base set-up
Here is what I am (at least for now) going to use as my base damp astro / multi surface set-up.
Front
Shocks;
2C pistons 30wt (AE)
Losi silver springs
mid mount on wishbone
mid mount on tower
Ride height arms just below level
Camber link mid on bulkhead, outer on upright .. no washers @ either end
-1deg camber
10deg castor blocks, #2 above front arm mount (LAW31)
1mm spacer under ballstud on steering arm to limit bump steer with the 10deg blocks
0deg toe
Kit ackerman
Rear
Shocks;
2B pistons 25wt (AE)
Losi pink springs
mid mount on wishbone
mid mount on tower
Ride height arms level
Camber link inner on bulkhead, outer on upright .. no washers inner, kit 2mm outer.
-1deg camber
#2 under front arm mount
kit 0 deg uprights
2.5deg toe (A25 block)
Cells forward
Novak 5.5R geared 19/78 Sphere setting 2-2-0-0
shaft one-way, diffs just tight enough not to slip both front and rear ... slipper set so as to just give on highest grip section of track.
Ballistic Pink Mini spike, not cut, with DC Racing light blue foams (JC Losi fitting wheels front and rear .... Poline axles for rear and machined front hexs to allow fitment)
The car was easy to drive but maybe a little nervious for some tastes (in which case 35wt oil in the front would help calm it down a bit). Can be thrown around and will not bite.
If dry try Ballistic buggy green mini spikes and if then becomes twitchy then go to 35wt front oil (40wt if too nervious). If grip is higher consider Losi Green front springs and Losi Red rear springs.
