What shock lengths do you normally run?

I've not taken the 12.5deg blocks off since I built the car, so yes I normally run them

Front Shocks: Short Ball Cups (Standard ones) with no threads showing

Rear Shocks: Short Ball Cups (Standard ones) with 2 threads showing

Thanks Tom, I'll certainly look at these etc.

At our track 4WD people run staggered ribs on the front, but I'm finding I haven't got enough grip, so going to try heavily cut down 4WD fronts again.

Are you running the S1 chassis and top deck all the time these days?

I'm also thinking of looking at the FAB thing, as I run a one way layshaft at the mo. I'm tempted to try the car with full time 4WD again etc.

Havnt got enough grip??
Do you mean sterring as in initial turn in?
Are you sure your using a cat sx haha!

What setup you trying??
Theres loads of things to give you more!
Try some 7.5 alloy yokes!!

[mikeyscott]

Already running 7.5s

Haven't raced for weeks, I was going to soften the front and increase camber.

I think it's corner exit grip.

Going to try a S1 chassis and see what it's like.

I'll test next week and remind myself!

I found Mossy's Oswestry setup very good at ludlow which is a bumpy, high grip grass track

here.
The only difference I made was I only had 6 hole rear pistons

[gazhillAE]

AE oil on that setup also!
The 5 holes are the way to go with the 4 in front!

Hi, ran my sx2 indoors for the first time this week & it seemed to be rolling way to much on the back end, now i know my oil was to thin only 30wt with a 2.5 spring, now changed it to 40wt still with the 2.5 spring but should i be fitting an anti roll bar??
Any advise appreciated..

anyone got a setup for ardent raceway polished wood ?

[moth898]

Simon's indoor setup works great for me

Simon's Ardent set up is now on our website.

hi there,

i have just ordered a speed passion 6.5 turn motor and i need to know a good starting gear ratio. i currently have a 83 t spur and i have looked at setup sheets and alot have them geared at about 21 to 23 tooth pinions?

i have a 23t pinion would that be fine for a grass track that varies from large to a small track?

many thanks

Anybody suggest a good sx2 set up for very small twisty carpet tracks with no ramps, the main problem i'm having is the inside rear wheel lifting sometimes which makes the car feel a tad unpredictable.
Cheers Stu.

Use my Ardent setup.

Thanks i'll give that a try, ive just ordered a rear anti roll bar, ive been running 3.5 springs on the rear with no roll bar thinking the stiffer springs would stop it rolling & lifting the inside wheel but i'll try the rollbar with 2.5 springs as your set-up. Someone has suggested putting a spacer plate below the rear camber plate to lift the top links, would this be of any benefit?? Cheers Stu.
