RC Indoor

I went to the high traction indoor track last weekend and ran through another boat load of settings. I won't bore you all (this time ) with all the details, but some findings were:

• 1D/1B on the front helps to give more steering versus 1C/1B, but wants to carry on turning on exit. 0.5mm anti dive helped to stop this (and make the car better on the brakes!)

  • Played around with the steering brace again... went 0.3s a lap quicker on old boots when I took it off at the end of the day, and the car felt smooth to drive. I think it's down to now running the brace on the split front blocks (picture attached), where before without that brace, I always preferred with the steering brace..

  • Wanted to get more rotation out of the car in the middle of the corner, so I tried going to 2.5mm on the rear wheelbase.. won't be trying that again in a hurry! Might try moving all weight back a little (1.5/2.5), or just lengthen the front... but shortening the rear was scary!

  • More rear droop - More steering, and more stable on the quick left/right flicks

  • Losi 45wt all round is spot on for that track.. 0.5s quicker than 50wt

  • Front shock out one hole on the tower was better on old tyres, so will hold that in reserve for racing this weekend.

  • I wish every company would pre-glue tyres, I suck at it...
