Set ups!
Seeing as i was bored of always seeing the subject (software issues) on the losi forum i thought id start this one that i'll try and keep updated.
Its basically the setup thats i have been using and the ones that i will be trying out. Im thinking to start with i'll put up my Worksop setup that has worked really well for the last 12 months. The second will be what i ran last season outside. I'd also like to see other people with losi to put up theres so we can all have a look and discuss! I think it will help us all, myself included obviously. Just copy and paste mine and fill in your bits instead. Track - Worksop Front Spring - Orange (paint removed) Oil - 35 Piston - 55 Shock Tower Position - 3 Wishbone Position - Middle VLA - Long Camber Link - 2 B Brass bulkhead (or 35g) Notes--- Rear Spring - red (paint removed) Oil - 32.5 Piston - 56 Shock Tower Position - 4 Wishbone Position - Middle VLA - SHORT Camber Link - 2 D Wheelbase - Medium Notes--- Track - Outside whereever really Front Spring - Silver Oil - 32.5 Piston - 555 Shock Tower Position - 3 Wishbone Position - Middle VLA - Long Camber Link - 2 B Brass bulkhead (or 35g) Notes--- depending front wing somtimes used.

Losi hard foams. Oh year i also played about with pro 10 tapered springs in the rear on high bite tracks Anything else you wanna know and ive missed out. Feel free to ask! I think thats about it

Danny what tyres would you run with those setups for the 2wd?
Does your motor choice and gearing vary much on the 2wd? Ride heights? I've just bought myself a CR and hit the comeback trail after a few years away from racing so I'm trying to soak up as much advice as possible for the 'new' car. The last 2wd I owned was a BK2 hybrid but I didn't run that one much. Before that I'd run every Losi 2wd since the XX was released - oh the joy of filling hydra drives with fluid |

Danny what about the weight of the 2wd?

No idea what the overall weight is. i have 30g's in the battery strap, 15 in the rear bulkhead, the brass bulkhead and then an addition 10 g's up front.
So add those all up and thats pretty much your answer. I am going to try more weight for the next nat, as it seemed to work for the x factory guys!

xx4
We are about to get the XX4 out for a try at RHR, hasn't been run for some time. What gearing for a losi 6.5 brushless with cells. I assume the set up will be as of old. I see Danny and others are using XXCR wishbones and hubs. What are the handling benefits over the XX4we ones.
