XRAY - Model racing cars

HI , friend of mine just bought a used xb8.
he si coming from a 777.

I didn't have much time to check it out but I put mike dana's set up on it. ( I didn't check the shocks or difs)

his comment was it had a "ton of steering" but it is twichy coming out of turns.he said the rear end wasn't locked down to the track like his 777.

I thought in his race he must of been hungry cause he kept doing doughnuts coming out of the turns:-)

so which set up should i start him out with?
med semi bumpy track with either hard dusty or just watered good bite

id say start with the diffs, get 555 in there so you know whats going on...

i can tell when my rear gets low on fluid, the rear isnt stuck on power.

rear camber links inside top hole, good rear side bite.

OK his links were inside bottom hole if I remember.
this is good cause I can put the same set up on both cars and only change one thing and then drive both cars back to back and maybe learn something >LOL!

after taking this poor buggy apart it has clearly been on the no maintenance plan!
rear dif empty with dif cups seized in the housings.
too be continued tomorrow....

buggy seems to handle jumps less good

just
went from 1000 in the rear to 2500
longer rear upperlink rod
and from 13T to 14T ??

is this possible ??

HEy Slim the outdoor track is kind of similar to the one I have been running lately. Its maybe a little bigger (mine). But I just love those indoor tracks. They stay so well groomed from avoiding weather. We have a similar one on Long Island but they wont let 8th scale run on it. Afraid we'll tear it up. Pussys!

really? we never tear it up.

I know, it makes no sense. They only let stadiom trucks run on it. Notro and electric. Wierd right?
