Is it a really slippy floor?

[bigrab]

not really......we clean the floor with wipes every time before we race so that it is qiute grippy....

ahh. right im not too sure if I can help you as at my club the surface changes from a slippy wooden floor to grippy carpet every 3 weeks. the slippy wooden floor we race on is not too dependant on a great set up but more on a good driving style. On the wooden floor I use gold springs on the front and silver on the rear, I run 1-0.5 degrees camber and about 1 degree toe in.

cheers.....i will give it a try and see what it goes like

thanks again

Silver springs
40w AE oil

Kit limiters (4 thin, dunno what this would be on the newer droop guage widget)
Middle hole on (front) tower
Standard wishbone position (inner on V2 wishbones)

Rear shocks
Green springs
30w AE oil
No2 pistons
Kit limiters (2 thin)
Inner hole on tower
Standard wishbone position (outer on V2 wishbones)

Front geometry
0deg kickup, 4deg caster blocks
1deg camber, 0deg toe (parallel)
Lowest, shortest top link

Rear geometry
2deg antisquat, long wheelbase
1deg camber, 2deg toe-in
Lowest, longest top link

Cells to the front, Paradox 27t gear'd 27/72, ride height as low as the carpet joints allow 8)

What tyres were you using on carpet?

[Richard Lowe]

Wide (25mm) yellow minipins all round :D

[Colin Barclay]

Ok thanks for your help. I used o run narrow minipins on carpet but now I use foams. I'll try your set up. thanks again.
