I still have not find out what is the stock antisquat with the 1mm spacer as for manual,do u ?

Its carpet with a few small ply jumps, just a couple at the moment, so the emphasis would be for a smooth high grip track, so maybe, start at 0 and work my way up?

Sound that 0 would be a good start,let us know wile you going up how the car behave on the track...take some notes

[guinness]

OK I managed to find the info I was looking for ,it seams that the antisquat as per manual build is 3.5 and you can go as lower as 2

I think that your understanding that link wrong..(maybe)
They are talking about the amount of toe that you are going to get once you add or remove shims .... Basically for the deg of anti squat it's per portioned via the mm size. But the XMW has a slightly different height front XA block... It's about .25mm shorter than the standard XA block.... So stock on the XMW should be around 1.75°~2° anti squat with the 2mm shm and subtract 1° per mm shim you take out.. And also as that link shows that your toe in will be less by about .5° Per mm as well.... Well that was at least the way it was described to me before...
If the XM/XR/XMW has that amount of anti squat built into it that's just crazy compared to other buggies

[guinness]

The toe is changed by using the XA XB 3.0 block ,the spacers don't effect the toe at all .
The way I see it is

if I want to have 1 of antisquat would be like this :
J5 without spacer and J1 upside down with 1mm spacer under = 1

I've taken some (very) rough measurements. Standard build gives 3deg of anti-squat. Each mm you take away from the front block takes away 1.5deg, so for zero antisquat run no spacer.

You also have the 1mm spacer under the rear block, you could put it on top to gain another 1.5 degress of anti-squat.

So every 1mm spacer is 1.5deg.....
If tamiya was a real flesh and blood person I would want to strangle him lol

[SiR_Dave]

Good info to know..

[guinness]

From tamiya USA driver ......
Antisquat:
With the 2mm spacer the car has 3deg
Without the 2mm the car has 1deg ,the block has a 1mm build in .
That's sorted lol


Now what bodyshells options for this car ???

[SiR_Dave]

Nice so without the spacer we have 1° anti squat.. Makes seance now

Now for body options ....
Proline Phantom RB6/201
JCONCEPTS Finisher for the RB6
Sweep Muzzle for RB6
JConcepts Silencer for RB6

Steve Haskins on here and haskins2004 on Ebay has just made a new shell for the 201xmw/rb6. Picture shows fitted to 201 xmw and Ive seen this shell. Looks very nice indeed......... just as another option for you all lads.

[patez]

Looks very nice. Had to order one right away.

Well first meet with the car, its beautiful, very stable, but, sods law, my ESC is causing my servo to glitch every time i pass through the neutral gate, its not servo etc etc, all this has been replaced, its this blooming HW V2.1, so off i go to buy another speedo, dangit, again, car is awesome, even in my hands, it felt really nice.

Try a power cap before waisting money on a new ESC

[ralphee]

Tried it buddy, gotta be honest, i think power caps are complete bollocks, just ordered a blue V3.1, its all it can be, everything else has been swapped out, and my install is sound!
