Hi all,

When I tried to mount the 'old' red and grey springs, the absorbers are completely pushed out and I have no droop; so I assume that some coils are cut off. If yes, how many coils do you cut off or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Kusal, what length are your shocks, you may have to lengthen them

Hello.

Need some help with my SX. It understeers very much. Drives very well exepts through corners.

Does anyone have a setup for carpet that makes the car quicker through corners?

Regards Thomas

Has someone experience with the FAB? See at the moment I`m racing without, but this item is a little bit too costy just to check it out....

same with the 7,5° front yokes. My general problem is, that the car "flips" on high grip carpet. Does the 7,5° yokes improve the "smoothness" in the curves? OK, I have to cut the spikes, but at turning in, I have too much grip at the front, so it flips.

Hi, can somebody explain the pro's & cons of 7.5 and 12.5 degree yokes on the sx2, basically how would the car feel different, i currently have the standard plastic 10 degree items fitted but was thinking of trying the option parts but not sure which way to go? I race on tight twisty carpet indoors?? Any advise appreciated..

Is it normal for a sx2 to wear the front tyres much quicker than the rears or is it my set up? Car handles/drives well but the fronts are well past their best when the rears have several races left in them, my previous car (losi) wore the tyres even all the way round??
