Lyk goed en behoort goeie downforce te gee. En sideforce.

the DJ Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:32 am

I'm so glad you guys have plenty airtime, but don't wait till callmore time to use it, work is boring!!! Laughing

That sideforce is going to take it's toll round the top high speed corner!!! That fence will be getting some visitors or what?? Very Happy

My boat is ready!!

On a seriaas note though - ototw you might be thinking of riding in the rain with all your FL's and whatnot, but have you seen what THE driverstands look like that these okes are using in the rain??

On a serious note, snotspoed was asking about setup for the rubber tyres:

I will be getting a good setup from the Top Racing supplier and I will have my car available for all to copy if it works on our track. There will be a lot of small things that won't be easy to spot, roll centers being one of them. Shock oil and piston holes I will find out and we work it from there. A basic setup can always be tweaked to your taste. I will try my car as it is now. I will just change tyres and camber and see how far off I am. The rest will follow I reckon.

the DJ Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:40 am

Does the photon come in rubber spec and foam spec kits like some other brands?

Guest Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:45 am

yes they do. Doesn't matter to much I reckon. The main differences will be in the thickness of the upper deck and the "wings" which allows for more or less flex. You want more flex for rubber I reckon. Mine is one of the first ones when they had foam and rubber spec, they all the same now.

Guest Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:46 am

so if your car came with a front and rear swaybar it should be a rubber spec.

the DJ Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:48 am

The reason I asked was that if it did, download the rubber spec manual and do a rebuild, and Bobs your uncle and fannies your aunt!! Cool

Problemmo solved!! Very Happy

Snotspoed Wed Nov 23, 2011 7:51 pm

As usual I would have the foam spec's, will have to take out a personal loan to get the upgades. affraid

Ya thats it and the Photon has both setups in the manual. Like u said, thats as simple as that.

On a more serious note:
