XXXs on a slippery floor

[kriss]

hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone has ever raced on a slippery floor with the XXXS and I you have any setup tips. I think the car's backend seems to spin to much around the tighter corners so any cure for this would be very greatful. My setup at the moment is as follows:

Front: Purple springs and 40wt losi oil
shocks in second hole in from the outside
1 deg +camber (camber second hole from the inside)
1 deg toe-in
5mm droop(i think not sure)
Wide Schumacher yellow minipin tyres
7-8mm ride height
Rear: Silver springs and 40wt losi oil
shock in the second hole from the outside
1 deg +camber
2 deg toe-in
5mm droop( I think not sure)
Wide Schumacher yellow minipin tyres
7-8mm ride height

I am running an element 19t motor with a LRP IPC sport esc

Any setup help will be very greatful!!!!!

Hello - I race regularly my XXX-S on a slippery floor. I tend to run 30W oil and 20mm blue mini pins as I find these give a little more bite.

The handling trait you mention sounds like the behaviour of the car with an anti-rollbar fitted - is this the case?

If not I would strongly recommend turning down your endpoint on your transmitter as this has made a huge difference to my car in the past.

You can see my full setup here: http://www.rccarworld.co.uk/setup.asp?ID=8

Hope this helps!

Go down on the oils as sugested, it should get the car moving more to generate the grip.

see what that change does.

you may also want to run more droop

you running a G+ ? if so, get a set of the non offset rear hubs. the offset oues are for arpet, to make the car pivot hard mid corner.

No just the standard one. Are them hubs fitted as standard on this car.

It hasnt got a anti-roll bar, no. I cant turn the endpoint down because I only have basic radio gear :-
