1/8 buggy setup? - 01-23-2007, 02:33 PM

Hey guys I am going to be starting to race again soon, and am working on getting my buggy set up. What is the recomended suspension setup combo...shock oils and spring etc for LHR? Do certain tire combinations work better than others?

switch 2.0 C compound and run the werks medium molded inserts made for panther tires.

AS far as setup goes, its kinda tough on that car as I have never had seen anyone running one. 5-5-5 is usually a pretty solid diff setup. I would recommend getting a copy of the xray setup manual and hitting the track to practice, make one change at a time and go from there

Since the vehicle will only be somewhat competitive and you've not raced recently, I don't suggest getting special foams for the vehicle. The stock foams in the 2.0's are fine.

Also, 5/5/2 or 3 diff set up is a more common. Use the springs it has for now and see how they do. Maybe 35 wt shock oil all around or 40f/30r, Front axles slightly above level, rears level, then get the X-Ray manual on-line as Mike suggested to fine tune from there.

molded foams last longer and work better might as well

Mike, you're splitting hairs. Remember the vehicle we're talking about. He's not going to have it long enough to wear out the foams but good plug for Werks.

Speaking of which, where can one get them? I've seen their ad showing quite a few options but no one seems to carry all of the options. In particular the soft foams.

So what if he doesn't keep the buggy that long. Why wouldn't he be able to keep the tires and wheels if he keeps in buggy class?
