Bumpy High Traction Carpet Track - 2007

I've been fiddling around with my SP12X
lately. My local track is a pretty bumpy, yet high traction carpet
track, so it's proven to be a little bit of a setup challenge. So
far I've come up with this:

Front:

-.018 springs

  • 5 deg reactive

  • Caster... middle (shim on each side)

  • 1.5 deg of camber

-I put a little bit of the blue Corally tube lube on the front
kingpins to help dampen it a bit since it was all I had, I'd like
to try something else though to compare.

Parma pro 38 Magenta front (Jaco double pink is good too) at 1.65
with about 1/4 sauce, sidewalls lightly glued

3.5mm ride height

Angled servo mount 8mm back with a Futaba s9650

  • HB Cyclone 12 shock with 30wt oil

    • Olive spring (with 1.6mm T-bar) or Silver (with 2mm T-bar)

    • 2 screws in T-bar... cut the T-bar spacer to 2 round spacers as
      opposed to one single bar spacer

    • about 2.5mm of pod droop (take some Hudy droop blocks on the
      main chassis ands use the droop gauge to measure how far the rear
      pod drops at the very back.)

    • 10K silicone fluid in the tubes

    • Parma pro 38 Grey tires at 1.75, sidewalls lightly glued. (Jaco
      yellow is good too) full sauce

Track width (172mm.... I think thats ROAR max)
