Bumps & Jumps

I made a few changes to this setup
that made my car up to 8 tenths faster a lap. I went with the Wide
MLP in the front and that made a huge improvement. I used 32.5
weight Losi oil in the front. Rear I went two turns out on the shock
bottoms to get a little more travel for are double/double area and
that made it alot better thru this area and more room for era.

Tire wise I made up my own slicks
using the same compounds as listed but used ProLine Ultra Firm Foam
(full size in rear and 3/4 wide in fronts).

Car turns in well but with no
oversteer at this time and has a slight on power push which I will
mess with moreto loose some of that but overall a very easy to drive
setup on are very high bite track. I don't like oversteer when
running slicks. For traction compound everyone uses Diesel Fuel at
are track. I do the who rear tire and the whole front. Keeps the
tires cleaner and gives more traction upfront til the tires get some
clay on them We find it more consistent overall to use the Diesel
Fuel.

Well today after having the car for a
few weeks I had my car finally to where I wanted it with slicks on
are local track. Car has never been better and I ran faster than
when I had my X6. The car was finally where I knew it could be and
today was it.

I ran a lot of basic stuff guys have
been using for the most part but the final ticket was the rear
piston combination and oil for our track. Again our track is so
different than anything that I know of but today I can say the only
problem the car had was the driver because the car itself was dialed
for me.

The
track is a super hard packed all clay track that they water
heavily so traction is as high bite as one can get. Jumps are not
very high but steep and you hit them a fast rate and over jump
almost every landing ramp to go fast. If you try to hit the back of
jumps you are slow. It is very hard on parts with traction like we
have and traction rolling is a problem along with over steering at
slower speeds. From other racers that travel a lot they say only one
track in the country is like Bumps with this much traction and jumps
that throw you around so much.

CRCRC that
just raced last week used Pinks and a few of are local racers went
to this race and said traction is low compared to Bumps and Jumps.

I ended up with the following:
