Default Setups:

Time for a more structured setups page on the TeamC forum I think.


There has been an ongoing setup thread from Iain Mellish for the TM2 here:
http://oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119861


At the RHR regional last weekend (TM2) where I have to say the car was amazing, (1,1,1,1 & won A) my setup was the same as Dave Poulters here http://www.petitrc.com/setup/teamc/s...ceway20130525/) but with the following changes:
Losi 35 oil front
Losi 30 oil rear
40g behind servo
gear diff 2000wt oil
Inner hole drilled on rear wishbone and used that, 2mm restrictor inside shock
Rear alloy bulkhead

The car was superb everywhere but over rotated a bit on the slippier hairpins, I didn't have a ball diff at the time but i think this may alleviate some of this, i will be trying it this weekend and will report back.

Good to see you are getting on well with the car, i have to say it is the easiest car ive driven for a while.

I see you are running weight behind the servo but what servo are you running? Standard or Low-Profile?



Thanks

David

It's a low profile. I also forgot to say I am running a front wing, mainly because the car seems to jump slightly nose up..

Hi James, thanks for posting this.

What's the thinking with the extra inner hole for the rear shocks?

Which front wing are you using?

The inner hole on the rear arm is something Iain Mellish did, I tried it and found it to help the car square up better coming out of tight slippier corners. It probably slightly reduces the speed at which you can take fast chicanes but the tradeoff is worth it as if the TM2 suffers with anything it seems to be putting the power down on slippy stuff and the rear stepping out. I've just got a ball diff to try this week which I tried briefly last night, first impressions are that it was a bit more fluid to drive, gear will be better on high grip though I think.

The front wing is just something I made from an old Losi front wing, its very basic, all it does is fill in the gap in the front shock tower, it has a slight scoop. I fastened it using the two front screws holding the front bulkhead on.

How did you find the ball diff? From Iain's latest setup it looks like he's on the gear diff.
