I race on a 1:10-1:8 track, which is Roar-legal, so I have a lot of room. I need to keep as much speed as I can through mostly very wide easy turns (for a 1:16 AWD buggy that is!)
The surface is hard-packed clay on top of dirt, and the track is regularly maintained. It is always blown before races. Very sticky!
I run stock kyosho wheels currently, but plan on using kyosho block pins, or proline crime fighters when they arrive.
I use mostly ronny's setup for shocks and such, and various other things have been borrowed through out the board.
Setup:
Mamba 25 ESC w/ Hyperion YC22 6000kv motor (11.T pinion)
Novak XXL AM 27mhz reciever
Hitec HS85mg servo (I would recommend the HS81MG instead!)
8 Cell United RC Xtreme packs (x42s?)
Hop Ups:
*) 3racing Alloy:front tower, rear tower, wing mount, upper suspension mount, 20 degree hubs, kingpins, steering knuckles, turnbuckle wrench, chassis brace, 1:10 wheel adaptors & standard adapters (w/ pins), 3Racing driveshafts (dogbones, cvds, whatever), full bearing set (me wants boca!), rear hubs, front and rear anti-roll bars, motor mount,
*) also, 3Racing titanium diff joints (waiting on ST diffs), turnbuckles & torque bars, hinge pins, ball set w/ ball end set, slipper shaft
*) GPM: HD titanium center shafts
*) Proline Crowd Pleazer body
*) bad horsie shock covers (what a pain, but great once installed!), I also use bad horsie's holm wrecker diff lube which is super smoothe!
Planning: 3Racing graphite suspension holders, servo plate, top plate, steering plate, alloy servo saver w/ titanium posts, carbon fiber chassis (if one comes out that doesn't suck), Crime Fighters, ST diffs (3Racing center?), 3x alloy rear blocks, boca bearings, aon 4900, United RC 11.1 1660 Apogee pack, Hitec HS81MG,
front suspension:
kyosho oil shocks w/ red springs & 40wt oil, top-inner hole on tower, no spacers
rear suspension:
kyosho oil shocks w/ red springs & 35wt oil, top inner hole on tower, 2mm spacer
3 degree rear toe-in, stock camber positions, about 1 degree camber on front, 2 on rear. hard front and rear anti-roll bars (keeps it flat, although I slide a lot. Let's see what it's like when we have the track blown off next week. right now it is a little dusty. Sliding isn't an issue because I just pre-emtively turn, and over-throttle to keep it aimed. Really impressed some monster truck guys, but I'm waiting on the buggy driver reactions.
