Very strong car but always advise keeping hubs, arms and front C-hubs/knuckles as you never know what might happen (or normally who might happen!) |

Yes the bell cranks need to swap sides but there is no ill effect, the cut outs are to clear when using the longitudinal servo location so not relevant. Putting the servo that side gives near perfect balance when using a low-profile servo and all other electronics on the same side (except ESC obviously). This is of course on my scales, all Orion electronics. If using a full size servo you will most likely need 10g next to ESC but the balance will still be better than the manual setup. Hope that helps. |

Thanks for the reply.. I was wondering if there was a different handed mounting plate or if I'd gone mad.. So now I know. Cheers. My car is currently configured this way incidentally. I omitted the mounting plate as I couldn't really see it's purpose..

The mounting plate is there to provide stability to the servo as the chassis flexes especially when you remove / loosen the side guard screws.
Works like the floating mounts on some other cars but simpler and lighter ... the Kyosho way |

I'm interested in hearing how the Zx6 drives on astro compared to the TLR 22-4.
You can get the kit in the US for a nice £360. Cheers Simon |

Well it's all a bit quiet on the ZX6 front... Nobody got a good indoor carpet setup?
Has everybody put them on a shelf for the winter months? |

They are a few high grip astro setups on petit rc.... Somewhere to start

I've used this setup, recommended by Mr Evdoka since I have had the car. It has worked perfectly at:
Stotfold National; Robin Hood National; F2 finals at Boughon. Silverstone Winter Series Rd1 (only change was to move the front shocks to the outside hole on the wishbones). http://www.tonyevdoka.com/set-ups/zx-6-setups/ |

No Ackerman spacer A bit less anti squat at the rear (3mm front 2 mm rear spacers) Inner pure rear camber link (so longer rear links) And finally medium tight front and rear diff |

The setups are great, but I was kind of looking for just general feedback regarding the car. Does it perform out of the box?
Cheers Simon |

A front set of springs (the kit ones are ok, just a touch soft for high grip surfaces) The rudebits spine weight (though that is more for bumpy/ripply tracks) So yes it's good out of the box and doesn't need much at all to get you to a decent pace. |

I have also used Associated springs on the car as they go up in steps of 0.1lb so allow for fine adjustments. Nothing wrong with the Kyosho springs of course (before Roger says anything ) Scott |

Nothing wrong with the AE springs at all, I use them myself sometimes.
As far as general feedback is concerned for me it is a little early to tell as I've barely raced it yet, done quite a few hours track work for practice / setup etc but only actually raced her twice. One of those was my best 4wd regional result for several years, the other the car was good but I wasn't (trying to switch between 2wd & 4wd on the same day .... not something I'm good at). Hopefully will have more feedback son |

has anyone used gear diffs yet?
im more used to them from ball diffs, i plan to order my car soon with the gear diffs to go init anymore updates on carpet set ups? we run on carpet at swansea. my plan was to run kit set up but with gear diffs, what oils do you guys suggest im that close that my shell is on the way to kifo paint as we speak all help is greatly appreciated |

Kifo painting again ?
I miss his work, a lot. Gear diffs are great, tried 10k/5k, a bit more drive than ball diffs but a bit more violent as well. This car is just pur bliss, out of the box, especially the way it handles bumps and jumps, so far my best 4wd experience. Elliot/Tony setup is great, to adjust to taste (I did lower the anti squat and put harder rear springs instead but I feel the car is already at ease, just a couple of things to better suit each driver). 550/350 for oil if I remember it right. |

what servo arms are you guys using?
i got the kit plastic one on but have any of you come across a alloy one? |
#59
|

|

here is mine,
nice build but its a pain in the butt cutting the parts off the tree's and trimming all the excess plastic from the parts the shocks are AWSOME never seen shocks like these before my shell is at the painters so i did this 1 quickly so i can run it sunday |

Have a look at LAW42 for an alloy servo arm. No real need for it as I've never had a problem with the kit plastic version.
Be interested to see how you get on with the esc at rear of motor, most would run it to the front. What surface are you racing on with the ZX6. I race on grass and was considering trying the esc to the rear, but being honest the car is so balanced with it to the front I really need to convince myself first.
