Technical F.A.Q

To work this out you need to know the pinion and spur gear sizes (in teeth) and your rear tyre size in mm,
You can then use this calculator HERE to calculate your ROLLOUT

A good base point for all the formulas is 50

From there you adjust up or down if you feel you need more acceleration or top end
This is very personal to your driving style.

A good base setup is “pink mediums” on the rear.

46 on the inside front wheel and 50 on the outside front

You can then experiment from there on what works best for you, remember the harder the tyre (higher number) the less grip that tyre has

First, check that nothing is bent, or loose.

If all looks good the car has too much grip for the speed you are going around the corner, reduce the grip on the outside front tyre by using a harder tyre, if you still have too much grip then try harder on the inside too.

Next step is to superglue the outside wall of the tyre which reduces grip further and supports the tyre from bending.     ASK FOR ADVICE
95% of times this problem is caused by either loose pivot or guide pin, OR an incorrectly setup rear suspension pod.
Loosen the 2 springs all the way off, then tighten down just enough to meet the ride height limit.

A drop of oil on the rear guide pin helps here, then loosen the nut at the front of the pod right off, and retighten until it is touching but with no pressure at all, ASK FOR ADVICE
This could be one of a number of things, check in order,

  1. Your battery has good charge
  2. The s disc is making good contact as it spins
  3. Your gearing mesh isn’t too tight,  remember to check at a few positions on the axle in case the axle is bent
  4. Gearing rollout is around the 50 mark (Calculator)
  5. Might be time for a new Motor
If you ask 50 drivers you will get 50 answers, pick shells you like and you will find one that suits you.

With a good driver all of the shells will last a night, except Ladas, Ladas are rubbish!

Core 21 vs Kamtec K21   -   I have tested both and can’t pick one, in fact, my 1300 has a core 21 and my f2 a K21.
