Hi yah
I would be starting with the following Front 40w Oil Losi Piston 3A - Silver Spring - It will feel stiff Shock mounted outside hole on wishbone and middle on the tower On your front link have 2 mm washer under the inner side and mount on middle hole and the outer link on long position Kick up - 30 degree Rear 30w Losi Piston 3a with a Cobalt Spring Inside hole on wishbone and outside hole on tower. Long wheelbase is normal for me but if twisty then short. Put your camber link inner on the lower outer hole of the tower with it at the longest on the hub - go upper row of holes on tower if you need more side bite 0 deg rear habs Under speedo weight - 92g and this never comes out of mine! Under Lipo weight should be adjusted subject to what type of track. If there are little jumps, rumble strips etc that upset a normal car then run under lipo 74g Schumacher Staggers up front - old type with no foam Schumacher pins on the rear Good luck and let us know how you got on. If you are same venue as me then come to see me.

Updated Set Up includes Big Bores
Hi yah all
I run Big Bore shocks on my 2wd for the first time yesterday indoors on carpet with jumps and slippery sections. With a variation of different pistons on the way for testing I run very close to my normal set up as listed below but with this combination of oils and pistons. The result was really good but unfortunately got beat by Darren Bloomfield in the final (he is good though!!) LOL Front - Big Bore Piston standard 5 hole - New Super Hard Orange 40w Oil Losi Shock mounted outside hole on wishbone and middle on the tower 3 mm washer under the inner side of link - middle hole Outerr link on long position Kick up - 30 degree Rear - Big Bore Piston 5 hole drilled to 1.4 with a Yellow Spring 30w Losi Drilled additional very inside hole on wishbone and one in from the outside on the tower. Short wheelbase Camber link inner on the lower outer hole of the tower with it at the longest on the hub 0 deg rear habs Under speedo weight - 92g and this never comes out of mine! Under Lipo weight should be adjusted subject to what type of track. If there are little jumps, rumble strips etc that upset a normal car then run under lipo 74g Ride height at 20mm Schumacher Staggers up front - old type with no foam Schumacher pins on the rear

The front orange springs are definitely option springs. Not sure what rear spring come with the kit. We'll find out next week I suppose!

Hi yah Andy, Kevin is correct the front springs are the NEW ones, part no. K.XGS006,
The rears did came with the shocks if I recal but unforunately there is no way we can know what the new kits come with. I have emails Japan but not even sure they will give us an accurate answer - sorry we will have to wait like Kevin said - not long now

I use it if there are jumps that I want the nose to come down quicker or if the car pushes out of the corner. On some tracks where tracks are really high and the nose comes up it is helpful then too. Hope this helps you

You could have asked me tuesday if you wanted, but you could try these changes
0 or 0.5 deg rear hubs, no need for that much toe in on high grip carpet Take the under lipo weight out Move the rear shocks to the middle hole on the wishbone Maybe try minipins on the front with the outer rows cut off

Cheers James,
Had bigger problems on Tuesday. (transponder wasn't counting) Have tried 0, but just freed the rear a bit, but didnt change the steering.. The pins only lasted one clubby at the new silverstone track and were completely bald! Thought I would try and make the staggers work cos I'm cheap..

Agree with chalkie, I use 0 degrees most of the time. Also agree with the lipo weight as it tends to slow the reaction down. It's good for bumpy tracks though.
Moving the shocks out on the rear wishbone will help keep the car flatter but you will lose turn-in. Other things to try are: Raising the inner front ballstud. I tend to run 3 or 4mm on high grip. This will gives more mid and exit, and will chill the car out a little going in. Try long wheelbase... Short is great for low grip, but I find the rear gets locked in too much on high grip. Remove some anti squat, I'm currently running a 1mm Spacer under the rear pivot brace. Make sure you're not running the car too low. I tend to run at driveshafts level (or just under), even indoors. Also try, short neck ballstuds on your steering Ackerman link. It helps get more lock. I noticed the WC kit comes with them now. And.... try without the under steering weight as that will slow the reaction down too. Most of the time I run with either 45 or 90 under the speedo. Quite often just 45g Hope that helps

Yeah it's pretty hard on tyres and cells, i managed to take 2400mah out of a set of cells in one round.
Two other things worth trying are 25 deg caster and as a last resort narrow front track width.

what does the kickup do and when should you run 25 and when should you run 30 degree?

Just to check another thing Adam. You say you are in the shortest link on the hub. Do you have any spacers under there?
