I tried Simon's setup on this weekend's club meeting on our dirt track (I placed the Italy setup on). The car felt better than setup I came up with myself but still not as stable as I'd like it to.
There are a few things I like about it: 1) Turn in steering 2) No bottoming out after jumps I'm having difficulties with: 1) Getting the power to the surface (it feels a bit like a 2WD when going on the throttle). The car is not easy to drift on higher speeds. 2) Hooking rear end which makes the car feel unpredictable because of which I felt I could not attack turns. This sometimes happens when approaching the apex. To improve thing I tried different tyres which made it a bit better. Secondly I tried more toe-in at the rear which made it feel a lot better on throttle but I'm still not there yet. Last change I made were diferent front tyres (Blockheads) which gave me an awful lot of understeering with my D4 but the CAT is still oversteered with these as well. Besides these things (which I think can be solved) the car feels great and with a lot of potential. Thanks in advance, Michael

been lurking awhile, just reading and working on my setup, but this post got my attention. I've been through three rear hub carriers in the last three packs. Granted I cartwheeled a few times, but nothing else has broken on the car. It does seem the rear hub carriers are a bit fragile relative to the rest of the car. I'd buy some alu ones if there were any.

Any good setup for bumpy track and loose surface (hard clay with layer of dust over it)? Bit rutted after practices of 1:8ths.
Carpets on jumps and also in some corners.

Oswetsry Nationalm Potental starting set-up
Hi guys - without trawling through all the set-ups posted here I am posting my set-up for dry grass.
I raced at Oswestry BCL today and qualified 4th and finished 6th (2nd in the last 2nd leg and 9th in the 1st leg after breaking from 3rd on the last lap!) The track was 100% grass with the exception of a large table-top in front of the rostrum. The track itself was quite large and we were completing 14 laps at around 21-22 second laps. It is also the same grass that will be used for the National later on this season Front suspension - Track Washers - 1mm front and back Roll Bar - No Shock Position Mount - Middle Shock Position Wishbone - Middle Front Rake - 10 Degrees Front Link Bracket - 44mm Ditto Washers - 0mm Washers on Hub - 0 Rear suspension - Wheel Base - Short Toe In - 3mm Rear, 1mm front = 2.6 degrees Anti Squat Washers - 2mm Rear, 1mm Front = 1.3 degrees Rear Link Bracket - 37.5mm Washers - 4mm Hub Position - Outer Shock Position Mount - Middle Shock Position Wishbone - Inside Roll Bar - No Shocks Front - 30wt on 2 Holes Schumacher Blue Springs (old ones) Diaphragm - Centre cut out and removed Ride Height – Wishbones level Rear - 25wt on 2 Holes Schumacher Grey Springs (old ones) Diaphragm - Centre cut out and removed Ride Height – Wishbones level Transmission- Rear Diff Height - Low Front Diff Height - Low Layshaft Pulley - Pin Through Front Drive – One way Gearing – 23 x 83 on Speed Passion 5.5 Internal Ratio – 33/23 Tooth Pulleys (kit standard) We initially started out with 25wt oil in the front but went up 5wt after Round 1 to try to give the car a bit more stability as the track was drying. We also started off with the Standard Diff and changed to a one-way after Round 3 and to be fair never looked back. Please note the changes noted below from original e-mail Last edited by Jonesy; 29-04-2009 at 08:14 PM. Reason: Changed - Front Link Bracket from 43mm to 44mm and Rear Toe-In from 15mm to 1mm
