Default Batlet setup

Has anyone got a decent setup for Batley that they could share?
...for the X6

From me, the short answer is no, as last year I ran 4wd at batley (and 2wd at Worksop). Usual kind of setup should be fine though. The hall floor can vary somewhat so there can be quite a difference between the carpet and polished floor. Fortunatly a good balance on different surfaces is one of the plus points of an X6 so you should be fine.

The usual Green/blue/black front spring ~ 30wt oil and a red piston and 25wt in the rear with a red piston (i am running a 3200 lipo) pink rear spring. Anti squat is personal preference. E speed hangers. A rear bar for me but again personal preference

You should be pretty close with that. the rest is just standard.

Dan's winning set-up from yesterday looked good.

He was giving it full beans, looked every inch a winner to me.

It just makes no difference which one you use Stu.

We actually went from a black to a green during the 24hr race whilst doughty was doing a stint and he didn't notice, he was more concerned about the yellow wheels on the new front end

Dan was like a man on the edge, that was a true display of driving excellence I have to say.

Why thank you Jimothy,

Attached setups from X6 and also X5 which I ran a couple of times to get a setup ahead of the supercup. My X6 was particularly good though, only suffering from a lack of drive on the tight section coming onto the straight, I think that was fubar tyres though which have since been retired to a bed of acetone.

Shame I can't do the regional next week.

This chart is good for comparing the pistons
