Went Racing (Prospec help)

[PiErow]

I had tons of fun today. Nitro-Basher and I hit up the track to practice. We went to Carolina Rc Center. Really nice track if you ask me. Anyways i had tons of things go wrong with my Prospec MSR Truggy. Just little things like screws coming out and stuff. My car was slow compared to those damn little revo's so i am going to give it a nice tune then a good bath... On to my question


Those little revos turn on a dime. I need to reduce my turning radius on my MBX Prospec, how do i go about this?

Diff weights 10/30/3, keep in mind its a truggy so i use heavier fluids...

REVOs are hard to beat when they are set up right.....there's one at mills pond that fucks w/ buggies and usually wins....course its driven by Scott Beiswinger...

 

[psunitro]

Yeah, pesky lil buggers. On the right track they can kill truggys, and buggies.What shock/ spring combo are you running? I have my Storm shocks w/45 all around, Ofna white springs. I may want to look at a stiffer spring.

Your diffs don't necessarily need to be that thick. In my LSP I'm running 3,7,1 and so far I love it! I'll find you what the pro's are running for total setup and that should give you a good idea where to start.

Is 400wt, 40 or what? Thats heavy.
How do i adjust ackerman?
Whats bones level?

I will set it up today and see how it runs.

 

[vbgagnon]

I think he is using mugen fluids, I'll get you something for that too Ackerman is the slider that controls the steering (I'm pretty sure on that one) Bones level are drive shafts level. Post the conversion thingy in a few.

 

[vbgagnon]

Didn't have what I thought should be compareable to 40wt

 

[PiErow]

I have mugen fluids so it doesn't matter. My prospec kit came with this set up sheet thing that showed you what everything was, and a place to write down what your using. I am going to spend my afternoon setting up my starter box (grounded it out the first start yesterday),cleaning, and then adjusting. I also broke an upper hinge pin so i have to order that.


Thanks for the help VB.
