XRAY - Model racing cars

Heres mine




I just need a new RB C6BBL2G to replace the old WS7III.

Note the top of the shocks, they have been revsered so the nut is on the back of the tower for easy changes.

I have a question concerning the assembly of the shocks to the arms. In the manual it states that the front right arm and the rear left arm uses a silver m3X18 screws (left thread). What is the concept behind this? I do not have the buggy yet, but I am making sure this build will go smoothly.

stops the screw backing out. being left hand tread it will do its self up instead.

Thanks rallyraid! That is a good idea and wish I done this on the TQ. I occasionally find those screw a little loose.

Also notice the upper shock screws on GregM's car. This way you can switch shock positions and take them off much quicker. (Edit: Ah you already mentioned it, didn't see that)

You can also do this to the inner camber links which makes roll center adjustments quicker.

Now that's a really good tip. Roll centers and shock angles are what I change the most. Keep em coming guys!

Funny how people change set-ups before they have driven the car. Team drivers and engineers have been testing the car for months yet people say its different than my normal set-up so I won't use the included set-up sheet.

I agree. It's a completely different car with a completely different weight bias and suspension. The setups you used to run won't compare. I would suggest anyone building it follow the instructions and set it up according to the standard setup sheets and then only after running it to get a feel for it you can change to suit your particular driving style and conditions. That's probably the fastest and easiest way to do it.

From what I understand, the team put a lot of work this time into finding a setup that will work for most people and make the car fast but still easy to drive.

Mike, what is that avatar? Thats funny!
