BCR "Reedy Race Warm- Up"

2008 Reedy Race Warm Up

This was the first time on the Sorex
premounts for a lot of us, but my car was pretty good from the first
run on. For anyone going to the reedy race that hasn't run the tires
yet, just expect your car to push on the 2'nd run on these tires,
it's a pretty big difference between the 1'st and 2'nd run.

Anyway I changed a few small things on my setup and the car really
came in. Managed to TQ and win the race after a bumper to bumper
battle with Steve Weiss for the first 4 or so mins of the race, it
was a lot of fun!

I was just very happy with how quickly I was able to adapt the car
to the new tires.

My changes from my posted setup are:

Moved the front arms all the way
forward

Moved the ackerman to the outside holes on the bellcrank

Moved the front swaybar mounts to the inside hole on the arm

Mounted the body 4mm more forward

-5 cell chassis used, receiver
mounted in front of batteries.

-Upper deck was cut to allow more flex. (see pictures)

-Used 2 gears in rear diff.

-TRF shocks with stock Tamiya bladders with nothingabove.

-Tamiya pistons used.

-AE lower spring retainers, and shock ends with 2mm cut.

-.5mm anti-squat.

-Front pivots raised .5mm + .5mm anti-dive.

-Steering limited 1mm with spacer glued to knuckle.
