supastox sidepod links

[shaun m]

On the rear motor pod / carbon plate , there are 2 holes for mounting the links onto , can anyone exsplain what difference it would make , or which hole ( inner or outer ) its suited to ?? , or fitting /removing shims etc etc .


I ran it tonight at a little indoor carpet meeting , and for the final i changed them to the outer holes , it felt better , but maybe a bit looser exiting the corner , but was definatly quicker , just wondering what grip levels / track layouts / circuit - oval etc its normaly used on ..

Outer holes are for the 2S chassis. The links are wider on that. Using them on a 1S chassis puts the links at a slight angle, which i guess will bring the lower part of the rear pod in a touch. I was trying to visualise the effect of this; the wheelbase will be a touch shorter and it may alter the antisquat, is what I think will be the result.

Never run it myself.

yeah it did change the angle a little , as i said it felt a bit looser exiting the corner, but had nothing to loose , and it was only a little fun meeting etc

but just wondering what they are designed for . will ask the same question on the fb page

doing what u have done in moving links out to the outter holes will alloy the rear of car to in effect body roll, hence why u feel u lost grip off corners hope this helps

I told you what they were designed for. The 2S chassis. its slightly wider and the outer pod holes are so the links are parallel using it.

yes , but i didn't know if there was any other advantage in changing it , and you said , and i quote "is what I think will be the result" soo was just wondering if there was any other thoughts about it , and could'nt find anything in the manual about it .
