1350 Set Up Tips!

[Martin Young]

Hi All.

Unfortunately over the last 5 months I've done very little racing, so last night was my first experience of running a car at 1350grams.

At 1500g my car was sorted but last night at 1350g the car was very difficult to drive a mixture of understeer into the faster corners and oversteer into some of the slower corners.

OK so here's my question, what have people changed in order to improve the cars handling at 1350g? To me the car feels 'floaty' and not planted is this some thing that can be addressed?

I ran softer Tyre's last night and softer shock oil but the car wasn't great, any ideas?

On a cyclone...

HPI Silver front/Blue rear Springs Seem to bring it back near where it needs to be..

With the weight removed i noticed the car became unforgiving on the kerbs. (I know im not supposed to hit them!)

When I went from 1500 to 1350 with the schuey, I ended up doing the following:

Keeping springs same (now slightly stiffer on front due to speeds Pink/Silver)
Softer Shock oils front and rear like 35w-30w
Raised the inner camber links by 1mm all round

these changes brought my car to almost identical setup to what was provided in the mi4lp kit setup (which was aimed at 1350).
