XRAY - Model racing cars

Hi all,
I've noticed that the general consensus with damping on the 008/9 seems to be softer than on the 007 as a starting point.

Is this because the shocks are shorter or is it some other reason ?

For example, on carpet with a 007 quite a lot of people ended up around the 40wt mark, but with the 008 people seem to be using 350cst (30wt).

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers
Chris

come on guys, even a discussion is better than nothing

Hi, I read this topic previous but I don't really have an answer but I can start a discussion on it!

I too have noticed some different/strange damping characteristics with the 008/009...

A Few guys at my local club run the Schumacher Mi3.5, they run Xray 2.6 and 2.8 Springs, with a 3 hole 1.1 piston and 50wt Shock oil (not sure what brand, maybe schumacher too?)

Anyway my shocks I run 2.6 and 2.8 also with a 3 hole 1.1 piston and I run the kit 350 xray shock oil. I have tried stiffer damping but that made the car very unresponsive through technical direction changes as typically we run a very tight touring car circuit indoors.

I hope this enlightens you on the matter but as I say, I can't really offer an answer!

im still using my orignal t2 that won me the local 07 and 08 prostock champs here in Wellington, New Zealand.

So i have no basis to comment on the new t2. I havent even seen one in the flesh, or graphite in this case
