XRAY - Model racing cars

i have read the hudy setup book but would like to get a better understanding of all the major settings ie droop, roll center ectt.. and what the order is to start changing things to improve setup on my car. if someone can guide me in the right direction i would be appreciated


thanx

If I am not mistaken the very last page of the HUDY setup book has a chart showing which is more important to change first. I would also imagine it would depend on what you are having a problem with in the car. For Instance, I was having a problem with rear traction and I start by changing shock springs and ended up adding some more front droop. My problem solved. I always try one change at a time and see what it does. The adjustability of the '05 is limitless and you don't want to change too much at once.

Kerry,

Unfortunately, it takes a lot of research and reading. Here are a few things that helped me:

* Read the FAQ and Tech Article threads here on the forum

* Use google and search the internet for things such as, "ackerman definition"
* Read scale chassis design books like, "Chassis Engineering" by Herb Adams & "Engineer To Win" by Carroll Smith. Although much of the content will not apply to RC, they have some great explanations and theories that do apply.
* Post specific questions here on the forum
