Big E's set up mate. Its the shit. I ran mine on that but with stick lipo and its awesome. PM him if your unsure.

That would be perfect :)

Anyone know where i could find it :eh?:

I'm not 100%, but I believe the set-up you're looking for is here: http://www.oople.com/forums/showpost...9&postcount=56

Its the first file, "X-5 End Set-Up"

That's the bad boy, and I have replied to your PM as well Kecky :)

Hey i dont want to hijack the thread but im looking at setups for my thing too, i saw Paul sinclair's setup for the worlds in 05, which i think was the worls in italy, with a bumpy, somewhat rutted track with not whole lot of grip, ive been doing some in-depth reading regarding setup and how to go about working setups, generally, im lazy with my setups and the tracks here in australia on the xx4, the steenari setup (kit setup for the worlds edition) works most places and i havnt had to stray far from that setup. Anyway i was looking at the worlds setup (which i now cant find the link for but i had saved it) and i noticesd a couple of things, the rear bottom shock mount is 0, which im assuming is the additional hole drilled on the arm, and pink spring which makes sense running such an inner mount, but the oil/piston combo is interesting, i dont know anything more about the track, but the aim of the 22.5 oil and 56 piston is to create pack which is better for big jumps etc, the track im racing this car on at a big meeting coming up has a fair few big jumps, and some straights with 90 deg corners, lol, i found a pic of the track, so u can see it for yourselves, heres a link to the page with a better size image http://www.rctech.net/forum/australi...f-road-14.html

Oh my god that track looks ACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats that just above the green bit at the back havent seen anything like that in this country for years, it does look good.

sunshine and blue sky's :thumbsup: would be ace to be over in australia or the states racing on tracks like that. :drool:

Has the X5 Squared got the same internal gear ratio as the X5.

I'm just trying to work out gearing for the weekend, but can only find a manual for the X5 and not the X5 Squared :o

It's the same ratio.

Thanks very much

Am i correct in thinking we want to get as close to the 9.66:1 final drive as we can?

In which case you would use a 19t or 20t pinion with a 106t spur when using a 7.5 (12turn equivalent) motor?

Or am i way off the mark :lol:

Hehe, do u mean the trees or the grass or that wonderful blue sky, heheheh, it was a nice day those photos were taken, yeah its a good track, its actually more sized for 1/8 scale, so the 1/10th run a slightly shorter version of the track and the surface is rolled nice and smooth when there is a 1/10 event run, i think 4wd mod are doing 27 sec laps, anyone have any tips on a base setup to go from?

thanks
