A great description of what changes do to a 1/8 off road buggy style pan chassis rc can be found in the Xray XB8 instruction manual. Pages 36-43. you can download that Right Here (Ziped PDF format)
What kind of track are you running it on? what don't you like about the handing right now?

- Start with 60wt in front and 50wt in the reaer shocks
- For the diffs go with 3k front 5k center 1k rear
-I use the stock springs... I think there fine... 13mm pre load in the rear... (I think) and 7 in the front (again not positive, ill look when i get home)
- 2 degree rear toe block
Thats should get you started... You can go to hotbodiesforum.com for a site dedicated to the LSP

lightning Pro setup ?? - snakebite46 - 10-07-2005
you run -1 toe in George ? Why ?
lightning Pro setup ?? - cemeb4dk - 10-07-2005
Because I can, It seems make it in hold a straight line better thru the track. And I get a little more turn in

I asked Mich the same question about toe-out on his Revo but didn'y see an answer if there was one.
I recall reading/hearing that toe-out helps turning but sacrificed straight line stability at speed (making it twitchy). So if you're running tight twisty tracks I could see where toe-out is the way to go.
Is this what you have found through trials, George? Have you ever run with neutral or toe-in?
lightning Pro setup ?? - cemeb4dk - 10-07-2005
I have never tried neutral. Mine is like on rails on the straights and going into aturn but its a little loose going out of a turn

dave i might suggest you read each post in a thread before saying i never responded lol. http://www.chitownrc.com/showthread.php?t=1127&page=2&pp=15 Its post number 29
lightning Pro setup ?? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-07-2005
Mich, thanks for the waypoint. With so many posts I missed your info in the thread. Thanks!
I never said you didn't reply, I said if there was an answer I didn't see it. There IS an answer and I DIDN'T see it.
Sometimes I lose track of going back into threads for answers to questions I ask. That might have been during the day of 10,000 posts!!! Sorry if I inadvertantly offended. My bad.

no biggie, this is a big site afterall.

Dave, George stated he runs toe-in in the front. You asked him if he ever tried it???? He runs it!

lightning Pro setup ?? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-07-2005
OK, so "-1*" is toe-in 1 deg. I read it to be one degree out. Sorry if I am RETARDED, but I was born that way.
GOSH, I didn't realize today was National Pick On Dave Day! So stop yelling at me or I'm going to tell MOM!
lightning Pro setup ?? - Tex - 10-07-2005
I edited my post to make it seem nicer Dave. I ripped into you the first time. Maybe it is National pick on Dave day...lol
