take the middle brace under the driveshaft out and turn the servo horizontal take the inside shiled off the bearings and put them so the shield that is left on it is on the outside and just keeping cleaning and cleaning them out with motor spray and do not use WD40 it is to greasy and makes them stikcy once it has set use trinity royal oil or some thing light.


leave the set-up as it is and then start to change things becausse i found that the standard set-up is very good for indoor racing.

scott.

just remembered something when building the diffs leave 2 of the thrust balls out as if they are in it tends to slip and make all of the wheels turn when i tried to spin the diff and just isnt right so i left 2 out

Well said Scott, they are the main things to look at.
Have a look at this thread aswell before you start your build as you may hit some of the same issues.

Do you have a full set of Yoko springs Damian?

[nitro-head]

i run orange springs on front, green on the back, no sway bars.
45 wt oil all round, 2 centre stiffener posts out (might take the whole brace out to see)

i might try the shield thingy me bob to :D

you may find your drive train may bind a bit just after building, it wears off in your first couple of races.

not to sure about camber and toe in, will check it out this week soemtimes and tell you.

the good thing is, the ssg sd came with a set up sheet froim the reedy race of chimps from halifax and i sometimes race there :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D

hope it helps ;)

Hi friends. greetings from Malta.

If you look at set up sheets for Britains top 3 SD drivers, Grainger, Adams, Robson, you will see that they are all pretty similar.

That has got to be a good thing. Follow that.

It's the same with TC3. There seems to be one optimum set up and everybody uses it.

Go to the CML website. You will find all the set ups you need. Personally I would not bother copying them to the letter as we all have unique driving styles and what works for one may not work for you. I run mine almost as kit the major differrence being only use the front roll bar and -1 camber all round and the 2degree toe in on the rear with the 0 degree steering arms.

I have top agree Mark,
I have not yet found a "PRO" setup that I can drive.
Hmmm I wonder what that says about my driving style?? Ah well the on lookers like a good crash ;)

[Scotty]

I have to agree with that ...!

Half the fun is working on the setup of your car .... good to get ideas from others but at the end of the day copying a setup is like cheating on a test???

[lotusmark2]

Its also like cheating on a test where the answers are not the same.
Everyone drives in a different way.
Take me ....I'm aggressively bad so I need a planted rear end to stop the back wheels overtaking the front at any given moment.
Where as others drive with a featherlight rear end.
