This thread is for racing setups and the track conditions they are used on. I am interested to see all the different setups we come up with.

I run on a clay track with decent traction. It is inside and does not blue groove up but we still get a fair amount of traction.
Front:
35 wt. oil
outside position on arm
stock piston
2mm preload spacer
-1 degree camber
Rear:
30 wt. oil
middle hole on arm
stock piston
8mm preload spacer
-1 degree camber
#2 camber link position
I also have the newer version rims and tires
I changed my camber a little front and back to come up with this setup but this truck handles great in the spec class we run.

That's pretty much what this whole forum is for...

Thanks for that wonderful insight but I was looking for 2 things, racing setups and the conditions they are used on.

This setup is dialed ! On our clay track, it works well if the track is watered or dry and it handles the big jumps well. I am actually able to drive my slash harder into the corners than my T4.
Does anyone else have some ideas for shaving a few tenths off of lap times? The track I race at has a good slash class and gets more competitve every week.

I had to update the set up a bit. Everything stayed the same except I put 25 wt oil in the rear. It sounds opposite of what everyone else is doin but it actually traction rolls less.

This set up worked great until I put my new proline body on. The truck seemed to nose dive a little more in the corners than with the stock body. After weighing both bodies, the proline in just over 1.25 ozs heavier. Knowing this now, I think I will try to keep it the same and adapt my driving to a heavier truck instead of changing setups every 2 minutes. |

Put a Novak 13.5 in it today. What an absolute riot ! The way I had it geared, it wasn't really faster at the top end, it just got there quicker and motor was coming off the track at 100 degrees. Lap times were almost identicle to running a titan.
Gotta put the titan back in to race spec again.

100 degrees is still very cool. You could try a higher gearing ratio. It would help in runtime.

I geared it so it wouldn't blow the doors off the titans. As far as runtimes go, I'm not really concerned as long as I can make 6 minutes for the race. At 100 degrees, with the lipo I was running I could probably run over 20 minutes before the LVC kicks in anyways.
