Yep, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pace was really fast, but it wasn't a simple track, some tricky bits like the sweeper at the end of the straight with the chicane, and the chicanes after the first table top. Was excellent for picking racing lines. If only I picked the right ones!

Yellow Full spikes felt good.

My car went better this week but it's still tricky to drive back end is to loose !
I have ordered blue front and silver rear springs as everyone is advising and I have some lead for under the bat and some little lead weights for the front.
I also heard people saying they are turning down the steering rate ? Will this help ? Mine is 100%

Kash did you have mini pins or spikes ?

Kash yet help is always welcome ! When you say worn do you mean yellow mini spikes ? Just some use mini pins ! I tried yellow full spikes on the back and it was terrible.

Yes

turned mine down for 4wd from 85% to something around 50/55%

make sure you have left and right turning circles the same also using the EPA on your transmitter before adjusting the steering rate

cheers will turn the steering down for next week ! Along with my new springs , lead , slipper clutch loosened ! It's getting there ! What rate oil is best ? I have 35 weight in front and back

Gaz I noticed that your cars not handling that good ! Didn't see it in the final. I think I am getting there with my settup maybe you should try what I am doing as it's just what experienced poeple are telling me ?

Really enjoyed last night, Track was great, however Pack took me out AGAIN. And as i was trying to push harder to keep up with james so i made a couple of mistakes. Should be a good regional in 3 weeks...

Tim you want 20 or 25 weight in the rear. 35 is crazy. Ok for the front though.

front blue/silver, oil 30/35
rear silver/green, oil 20/25

lead, sometimes placed in the space between the gearbox and rear shocktower, battery bulkhead

have a look through o0ple setups, maybe even ask in that section

and try here, look under Traction at the clay, slippy setups but use UK spec tyres

tim my b4 was horrible in the heats - new mini spike tyres werent worn in in first round and left everything else same as last week (it handled ok with old mini pins on then) and then my servo went to pot in 2nd heat. i think the servos been playing up a while as i put a borrowed standard servo in and the handling was loads better - the old one was juttering and going mental! anyway in the final it was a million times better - maybe due to reducing weight on front end and the tyres bedding in. want to try to get the car going as well as possible with minimum setup changes tbh (as i'll just get lost in a mine field!) but i'll try new springs and oil just to see the difference
