ROAR Nats- Hobby Plex

The bite was about medium, so I
know these changes will be good with high bite. We'll try even
more aggressive settings next time we race on high bite.

Front

Front suspension:Corally
WC (same as Assoc. dynamic strut) with 10 degree reactive caster
blocks, 2 spacers rear and 1 front, 1 1/4 degree camber, raised
steering arm ballstuds, threaded axles from Parma

Front springs: .020

arms facing forward)

Tires: Jaco lilac front, 1.64", full front tire
sidewalls glued with CA

T-bar: Corally 2mm, with
center screw on rear pod removed and spacer cut to only have
spacers under 2 pod mounting holes, no spacer under front pivot
ball

Center shock: IRS VCS shock, front mount raised 1.5 mm
and rear mount moved back 6 mm, Silver spring and 30 wt. Assoc.
silicone shock oil. (there were no bumps on this track. If this
setup is too aggressive or doesn't handle bumps for you, go back
to the olive (green) spring, 25 wt. oil, or both)

Dampner Lube: Corally blue. Same comment as center shock,
go back to red if necessary.

Ride height: 3.5 mm, chassis level when race ready

Rear pod droop: This is checked by lifting center shock
rear mount and measuring height at rear of main chassis.
Difference between static ride height and lifted height was 1 mm

Tires: Jaco yellow rear, 1.74", 1/2 rear tire
sidewalls glued with CA

Tires: We tried 2pink front and
rear, 2pink fronts with yellow rear, and lilac fronts/yellow
rear. Lilac front/yellow rear was the best (all Jaco tires).
