Try running the weight i advised above. also some things i have been going well with lately are: Cutting rear arms 2mm and shortening wheelbase. running plastic rear hubs in middle hole. running inside hole on rear tower. using backward ackerman position using 25 degree caster blocks 79 spur with 24 tooth pinion run yellow springs all round and 35 front 30 rear. 1.3 piston rear and 1.4 front. i hope this helps. 8th - Unsure the best place to buy? maybe just direct from USA? unfortunately i cannot sell anything in europe.

Lee,
First of all. Thanks for offering to help us with our setups and general questions.. I don't know of any other sponsored racers who do this on open forums.. Your help is very appreciated. I've been racing Tamiya for several years now. I currently run a 501X and my friend runs a 511X. We have been having trouble with the front arms breaking too often. It mostly happens on off-road tracks with extreme jumps, but has also happened on smoother indoor clay tracks.. I tried to work around the problem by using stiffer springs in the front and slightly heavier oil.. It helped a little, but I know this is not the best way to go.. What do you do to help your car survive extreme jumps without damaging the front arms? To note: I have tried DB-01 arms, stock 501X arms, and the more recent lower profile racing arms. The lower profile arms break the easiest. Unfortunately the thicker DB-01 and 501X arms still break too - but they sure do take more of a beating before they do.. Thanks. |

I noticed that in some of your setups you run a heavier car (70g under servo + weight under the battery), is that a suggested starting point for higher grip surfaces? Where I run the 201s seem to struggle with: 1) rear grip esp out of corners to line up for the big jumps. I think adding the weight you suggested should help. 2) nose-lifting off the big jumps - in such cases even braking hard doesn't seem to do much to correct the car. I'm just worried if the rear weight will make this problem worse. Any thoughts? Thanks again for your help - and good luck for the Worlds! |

If your breaking the 501X HD arms then im unsure how you could find anything stronger... maybe after each run just check for cracks in the arms, as they could be cracking without you realizing then breaking on the next run. apart from this, there is not much you can do? continue to run the 501X HD arms and try not to get the big jump wrong and land on one side of the car, try to land flat and level. lee

the shorter wheel base and weight will help the rear. weight up front will help jumping. maybe also try a front wing? Lee
