Rich Simps

Robin Hood Raceway

Grip is high.

The track is quite technical with some medium size jumps, bomb holes and a large banked corner.

The conditions were dry.

Set up wise most people are running 4 deg toe in one way or another. if you have a stock kit just put a 0.5mm thick washer between the rear block and gearbox. Most of the team guys are adding weights down the outside edge of the chassis between the end of the Lipo, or running brass plate under the shorty. They look to have around 40g at least on there.
