Does anybody have a basic setup for the outdoors for the SP-2 buggy? Shocks, diff, arm & shock positions.... etc.....
Thanks Joey

thenewguy821 Wrote:As for diff oils, the most common setups are either 5000/5000/1000, F/C/R, or 5k/7k/1k. Brake bias is best tuned to your driving style. some like the front to grab more, some like the rear to grab a little more. The rear should be toe-in slightly, 1-2*, and the front should be toe-out 1-2*. front arms should be parallel to the ground, and the rear dogbone should be parallel..
These are all basic starting points, and you can tune from there. need more rear traction? soften the rear or stiffen the front springs. More steering? firmer rear or softer front springs.
Keeping in mind, I am fairly new to Buggy racing also, but these are starting points that were sugested to me.

Slim, do u use the same setup for indoors at LH? Does anybody else have SP2 setup's for the indoor/outdoor track? Also, any indoor/outdoor tire recommendations. Thanks

Im not sure on his setup but im 100% sure his indoor(smooth high traction tight track)setup cant be the same as outdoor (rough med-low traction fast wide open)

Tires-
Outdoor; Komodo 2's, MS compound, stock foams
Indoor; Switch 2's, C compound, foam of your choice, prefferably molded.

What if, by changing tires, you got a faster lap than sonny o's best?
If you want next time we're both at the track you can try mine for a tank.

Not even at club races?
setup ?'s - Mr. Tune - 08-30-2006
What would be the point of racing a tire at a club race? All you'd be doing is wasting valuable practice time on a tire you can't run at the bigger events.

Matt, Mike is sponsored by proline, put it together.
