Perhaps just drop the rideheight a bit thats what ive done..

1 lipo is roughly 150 - 200g lighter than a 6cell sub c pack so obviously the car would run higher...

Default Shock Length

I have noticed the overall shock length is noted on the setup sheets! How is the length adjusted? Spacers or via the shock cups?

Thanks again....

I was just wondering if anyone has any setups for indoor carpet high traction and outdoor clay tracks setups, besides the ones on the Schumacher site.

I just joined the Schumacher team and am racing out of Toronto, Canada.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks

Mossy's setups are very good, have a look for his that he used in Italy, that'll be what id start with for clay.

For carpet, try mine above, its ace.

For Carpet, use mine that is posted on the Schumacher website for the Petit RC Race as a starting point.

Thanks guys,

I tried Simon's Petit Rc setup with some Corally Tire Traction. The car was hooking up and was just great. I'll be using it more often. When the weather gets better, I'll be trying the Italy Euro setup for the clay.

Default Bury Metro

Hi, does anybody have any setup tips/sheets, from bury indoors. I struggled with the CAT SX it felt very slippy (perhaps thats the 5.5T X12?)

Any ideas for shock oils and what hole piston?

Weight or not?, I had centrally mounted 110g strip fitted from racing outdoors.

Cheers for any help

we had no weight underneath the chassis at all,a 5.5 was way to much and caused us loads of problems 6.5 or even 7.5 is fine.other than that pretty much std set up as already mentioned,and for some reason new tyres seemed better than worn this time,
