some 2wd questions

[losidan]

hi guys,

i hve had a look through the threads looking for set up information and i wanted to ask a couple of questions if i may regards xxx cr. .

when I ran my car last indoors the other evening i found it very very difficult to get turn in on corners...of any kind. I used to have a xxx before and it wasnt like this.

I was running on a carpet track.

Can I please ask the following;

1. Do you really run worn minispike tyres indoors or is that a myth and really you need fresh minispikes....Also, what sort of insert?

2. I had 25 wt oil with red springs....I have seen in other threads 40 wt and black springs..is that a better starting point?

3. is it worth doing the chassis mod i have read about and cut the bulkhead so the batteries butt up to the servo?

4. I have seen the chassis should be set with level wishbones at the front and the chassis level. What sort of ride height should I be looking to have?


thanks ahead and any advice is mucho appreciated


PS, on a seperate note, the transmission sounded well noisy, how can I quieten it down?
