SV Hop-ups / Set up

[F1END]

Just about to get an SV2 and wanted some advice as to what else I need to buy with it.

E.G. brass weights, tyres, hop-ups, pinion, shock oils, springs, etc.

Also some advice on build/set-up.

E.G. diff high/low, shocks front or back, front arms swapped?, etc.

Will be running mostly at Silverstone club night. Indoor on astroturf. Running a Novak 7.5L with saddles.

I would start with a 24 pinion, rear shocks with 35 weight oil and 4 hole pistons, 40 weight front oil with 4 hole pistons, kit springs, no rear roll bar, front arms NOT reversed, medium wheelbase.

I find the sv2 needs more steering than the sv so I tend to run more front tyre (eg front mini pins instead of staggers) or spikes if you are outdoors

Loads of steering here to.... what I have done is...

+5' front caster blocks
Removed plastic spacer from under rear camber link plate
1mm washers under anti-squat on rear
4 hole rear pistons
removed all chassis posts and gone to the old topdeck connector
40wt front, 35wt rear.

Thanks guys.

Does anyone know where sells the Trishbits weights. Do they sell direct? Can't see anything on the website.

I noticed on the team drivers sheets they go for zero spacers under the rear camber link plate, does this also mean taking the plastic bit out or do they just mean no extra spacers ???

[DCM]

Not sure, putting the plastic spacer above the plate drops the ball height and makes the car more compliant.

I would say run the car standard to start with to get a feel of it, then you will be able to see what differences the hop up's make to the car when you add some
Only things mine has on it is the trishbits nose weight, under servo weight, the 5 degree yokes & 3 hole pistons all round
I do have the alloy zero trail hub carrier U3934 on order but only because i keep breaking the plastic kit ones(bad driving)
Have seen some run with the front wishbones reversed & some without, try it & see which suits you best, i prefer it standard
