do yourself a big favour. Go to www.rcdocuments.com and grab the manual for the xray xb8. in the back is a setup section that is the most informative piece of material I have ever read. it has nice cad drawings with flow charts. every adjustment you can make on the car has an explanation... more angle here makes the rc do this in this situation etc. you'll be able to drive your rc, decide what you want it to do differently and look and see what changes you can make to achieve that. I like a fairly forgiving setup in all my rc's. my driving style is slow and smooth. I like to jump low and keep my wheels close to the ground at all times, so jumping suspension means little to me. I want the suspension softer to soak up terrain. so I can keep the wheels planted and be able to be on throttle. this also breaks less parts so I finish races. I am not the fastest guy out there by any means, but I almost always make the podium when I race. I've been told I look slow on the track by the race director but looking at my lap times I am not usually far off the leader. and my laps are all within a couple seconds of each other, unless I bobble trying to be too aggressive. so it depends on how you drive, what the driving conditions are. a good thing to do is time your practice laps.... keep a sheet going... run say 10-15 laps with a setup, make ONE change and run again and compare. after you have done this after EACH change (you have to check after changing one thing so you know how that one change afftected the ride, too many changes you won't know what did what) you can tailor things to improve your overall lap times |
