Yes I was using the Vega steering on the forward hole. If you are running the Ellis version I would add a 1mm washer as Ellis made his adjustable rather than Vega made it simpler to go back to standard. Both excellent so not sure which one you have. The car is for sure faster over bumpy sections. Just easier to drive for me.

Hey Tony - Weights arrived as promised
 Ta muchly!!Didn't use them this weekend as the car was nice although expect to in the coming weeks as I run more outdoors... Have you changed the amount of weight you use since going to the Big bores?

Ran mine at Kidderminster yesterday and was very pleased with her, will post up a setup when I can get to a decent PC and have a spare few minutes.
Basically though; front longest link , no washers either end shocks middle wishbone, inside on tower Gold front springs / 35wt AE oil with stock 5x1.2 pistons (I was actually running 30wt oil and 5x1.1 pistons so the 35wt/1.2 is an approximation) 2 pip spacer between trans case and LAW31 / 10deg castor blocks Steering mod (4mm forward and 7mm out from stock position) shafts just under level (front of chassis 2mm lower than rear) ONE-WAY DIFF Front tower spaced up 1mm & front shocks 1mm longer than normal (now 20mm) as this improves the car when landing with lock on. Rear link 2nd from outer on ali 0deg hubs (out on original FS hubs) / 2mm spacer link outer on bulkhead / 1mm spacer shocks in on wishbone / mid on tower white springs with 25wt AE oil with stock 5x1.2 pistons long wheelbase Antisquat = 1 pip under LAW36 / 2 pip under LAW37 = 0.75deg & hinge pin up by 0.5mm LAW36 B in LAW37 F out FS2 arms and shafts shafts level 1.0mm anti roll bar with balls right at end of bar 60g of weight in the spine, cells forward 5.5 motor geared 21/78 with 4600/35C cells The car was excellent everywhere, not saying there wasn't room for improvement (I'd start by replacing my wheel nuts more often but that is another story  )I ran a 4th & 7th (with an error sadly) in round with the likes of Mossy and Niggs there so pleased with that. One of the guys who drove my car will have his new purchase built for next weekend so it must have impressed. This will be where I start as a base on astro and grass. I have found in the past that you can swap between the one-way and the diff without any setup changes as the car is so neutral, use whichever you prefer. I still don't see the big bores as a "MUST HAVE" so they shouldn't put off those who want a Lazer but can't afford / justify the cost of the big bores and springs but I DO think that they make the car a little easier to be consistent with. Still the biggest improvement for me personally is refitting the one-way diff but that is most likely to do with my driving style and may not suit everybody (I really wish I could drive with permanent 4wd but I just can't).

LOSI 22 BIG BORE SPRINGS
Hi Does anybody know if Losi 22 springs fit the kyosho big bores. I have also seen Yokomo big bores on some set ups where can i buy these.
Cheers in advance

The Losi springs do fit ... I am in the process of compliling a list of the TRUE spring rates of all the big bore springs available. Bare with me there are some major suprises (like the Losi spring rates being NOTHING like what they say on the packs and Kyosho / Xgear springs being quite different ranges to the old springs for the standard shocks).
One thing is for certain, all the lists out there on the net are full of large errors ... I'm comparing the springs on a £50k spring test unit so am 100% confident of my results.

I've got to post mine up by have no way to do it on one of the snazzy PDF files that Nick uses ... only real PC is my work one these days.
I've probably run the FS2 4 times since your last post Toby and no matter what I do I always end up back at the same place now +/-1mm under the inner ball studs and in/out 1 hole on the shock towers. That is what I was hoping for and where I have been on the other Kyosho cars. The FS2 is a great car to drive, loving it. I will post, if somebody wants to create a sheet from it and post it up again / send it to Petit I'd be greatful.

Yes, me too - really happy with mine.
Q'd 8th at out last 4wd regional (Mid East) which I was very pleased with as we do have some very quick drivers - and it could have been better too (got a 5th and 8th in rounds 3 and 2 respectively) with a bit more luck in the final round... If I can ask a specific question to the Big Bore drivers; what springs are you running both Front and Rear? Roger - I know you said you were comparing the Losi spring with Kyosho; have you made any more progress with this? Nick - Just checked on PetitRC but it's not up there yet (will keep an eye out though)

Nick, I will send it through later mate to your normal e-mail ... thanks
 Toby, I virtually always run Losi Green fronts and Losi Pink rears now. I started with Gold and white X-gear springs but felt the car was too soft .... moved the to Losi Orange and Yellows as they were near enough identical to the X-gear gold/white combination then worked my way up from there till I got the balance of intial, later corner and bump handling I was looking for. If using the standard pistons I would recomend 35wt front and 22.5wt rear ... both Nick and I are experimenting with other pistons at the moment ... I think I can say that we both keep going back to the standard pistons on the front BUT are tending towards a larger hole in the rear (5x1.4 for Nick IIRC ... I'm currently trying 6x1.25 as that is the equivelent of the new piston from Kyosho. This is slightly less flow area than the 5x1.4s Nick is currently using and seems to be a reasonable compromise for me ATM). I am hoping to get a range of pistons with 4 & 6 holes in as for a given flow area the number of holes affects the way it "packs" ... less holes will give a more reactive car, more will give a more forgiving car. I'm thinking 4 holes indoors, 6 holes at tracks like the surface of the moon (Hinkley for example) and 5 hole as the "general" everywhere compromise. Again I will keep everybody up to date with my findings as and when I actually get them done.
