Fermoy Model Car Club ~ Munster RC Car Club

Right, I've some ideas for set-up.


First off make sure everything on the car is right, no slop but everything moves as it should. Chassis balanced left to right, no tweak etc.

Shocks 40 wt in the front with 35 in the rear.
Spring some where in the middle with a slightly heavier spring in the front.

Upright shocks will make the car change direction better, more angled shocks will slow the reaction of the car down and make it easier to drive.

Ride height 5.5 - 6.5 mm, try to keep the chassis flat, same ride height front and rear, no anti-squat or anti-drive on the rear or front of the car, so that's wish-bones horizontal.

Caster on the front 4 deg, more caster will make the car easier to drive, will track better in a straight line. Less caster will make the car turn better.

More rear traction, more toe-in -:- less rear traction less toe-in.
More rear traction, short wheel base -:- long wheel base.


Hope this helps.
