XRAY - Model racing cars

Thank's Martin Hudy

cheers martin. this is the venue really nice size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_A4zJeo ... re=related

And as extra info, the carpet we are on is Prima GT.

nice track but the traction does not look high

I think grip is 'ok', I put it down as medium, grip roll is rare there despite the high speed corners etc.

I think a lot of that is down to using Sorex 32's with Schumacher Blue Inserts.
A lot of the carpet venues are currently running Sorex 28's with Blue inserts. I only know of one running the Ride tyres (under Moorespeed brand)

guys in bold red are the ones i know run X-ray

*correction cheers savo

hi ricky,
david bowens was driving a xray 2011 (my spare car) and nathan parker was driving a tamiya

Never mind which car Savo, what was his setup

hi skiddins,
Apart from the basic carpet setup the changes are.
1mm ackerman
1.4 rear roll bar
700 xray oil in gear diff
shock position 2 f/r
alu shocks 1.1 pistons, 400 muchmore oil f/r
camber 1.5 f/r
ride height 5.2f 5.5r
rear toe 2.5
mazda speed 6

Interesting.
2.8-2.6 springs, or kit 3.0-2.6?
Is that with the L1 &L2 roll centre's?

Surprisingly soft shocks, certainly with 1.1 pistons and only 400 oil

3.0-2.6 plus L1 L2

Cheers, been filling out a setup sheet for it to try next time.
Might try it out at Newbury next Friday

Martin,

Your advise on changes in setup on carpet tracks as above is also applicable on tarmac/asphalt tracks with low to very low grip?

If not which things would you suggest?

Thnx.

Kind Regards,

Ken Sei

Martin,

Use the shorter camber link on a low carpet track... Never try, but isn't it more difficult to drive than the stock carpet setup ( t3 2012 ) ?

Next week end i will have a practice for the first round of national french on carpet with Ride 36. With these inapropriate tyres i have to find a setup with better overal grip than the stock setup.

Is the LRP carpet 2 additive better than the cs high grip when the traction is bad ?

Thanks for tips

I have the setup for the car that won this race;

It was on Sorex 32's.
I'll try to remember to upload it later then send you a link.

Manson,

The LRP Cartpet provides more traction than CS, so I would use that one. IF the traction is really low, put the additive for 60 minutes in the rear and 30 minutes for front.

I would start with basic set up but instead of middle linkages, I would use short ones as you get more overall traction. Put the rear diff into low position, you get much more on power traction and car would be more stable. Maybe try 3.5 toe in in the rear.

Thanks, it is the answer than i expected
