I spoke to Dave earlier this week. He thought he might make it up to Ft. Wayne this weekend. With the BRL, I'm guessing he will be there next too.

i am not dave but from what he told me he will be jumping out of a birthday cake tomorow for his wife so probly no racing for him this weekend.if he can race he is coming to ft wayne with us.next weekend he better be at FT wayne regaining his points led.

Too much info Yokman!!! :)

I'm so far from the points lead I can't even see it. And with my glasses I see people waving when I look at a road map.

Yea but as long as you can still see them, then you have a chance to regain the lead.
Tell your wife we all said HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

boy's boy's boy's
dave never had the lead......in points

his 13th best driver had the lead and is looking at the lead from 11 pts behind


as for the B- Day cake.....
she asked me first
but i'm going racing
so she said i guess i'll have to have Dave do it .........he he h e

Time to go to Indiana in a week. Watch out world. LE is on the way.

Jamie

you said it wrong

it should say

watch out world YOKMAN (Jeremy Hofer) is on his way
followed by the LE drivers.......

see ya in a week

Well, couldn't make the trip to Ft. Wayne last night, but I debuted the Executioner last night at my home track in Cincinnati. I beat my best qualifying run there this year by over a lap. Started 3rd in the A feature, and by aroung lap 15 or 20 I passed for the lead. Unfortunately traffic issues would keep me from finishing there, but I can't tell you how impressed I am with this chassis for the very first time I set it on the track. Every little adjustment I made seemed to work, and I wasn't sitting there overwhelmed with a chassis that has WAY TOO MANY adjustments. I want to thank Dave for a great chassis and customer support! Also, props to Jamie Hansen for a great starting point on setup! :thumbsup: Hope to see you all at Ft. Wayne next weekend!

Thanks again!

Thank you for the help
Dave

contact Dave at leadingedgerccars.com

John, how was your NEW hotrod?

Beach

sweet ride very agressive hmmmm now if i can just get the car to straighten up out of the corner!!!!

John Try spacing out the LR tire, with the new pod plates you can have the LR tire in too far for some track conditions.

Dave how did things go for the Leading Edge guys at Summit???

Thanks Dave for the good information give me a call when you get a chance!!!! CMON this car is badd azzzzz fast!!!!!

The leading edge cars were awesome in 13.5 and 4300 this weekend. 5 cars in the 4300 Amain!!!

4300-
Jamie Hanson - 2nd (Executioner)
Dave Zipp ---- 4th (Executioner)
John Landers-- 5th (Lightning)
Brent Lane---- 7th (Executioner)
Racknor------- 8th (Executioner)

13.5-

??

Yeah.....What Davz said. The grid speaks for itself. In a very stout field of guys, the Executioner was quite awesome. Dave W was fast in 13.5, but had some bad luck. It was a domino effect, and some people caught the end of it.

Dave, the slider is one of the best cars yet. Keep it up buddy.

Congratulations to Leading Edge Drivers at the latest BRL race.

I've not noticed much setup info in this thread. I realize that some racers are very protective of their setups. It would be nice to see some base setups for the different classes and different chassis that LE makes. I don't think anyone needs to post their TQ setup, but more like a starting point for different sized tracks. Something like if I raced at a 100' flat carpet oval, I'd start with this setup.... I think this info might be useful if posted in this forum.

Thanks, Brian Smith

ps. I chose 100' simply because that is a nice round number and not because I want/need a setup for that sized track.

Brian, I am sure that many of the LE guys would be more than willing to help you out. But, you if ask for a basic set-up info on a hypothetical track size, I think that they might be a little puzzled about exactly what info to provide you. So if ya can, I'd start with an actual track configuration, (ie. size, runline, corners, banking, type of surface, traction compound used, etc.) and then ask for the more precise info that you would like to get; ie. front springs, , tire choice, front to back spring and shock, side springs and shocks, caster, camber, ride height, rake, king pins and lube, front wheel and axle spacing, rollout, etc. etc. If this sounds like a a little too much detail, perhaps you might talk to an LE driver at your local track who seems to have a good handle on that track that day and ask him or her what is working well. I have met and know a lot of LE drivers, I am pretty sure that most of them would not mind giving you a few on the spot ideas.

brian-i will be at the moose this weekend and we can talk set up all you want.did you finially take the plung and get ya a LE car?i have that secrect set up for that 100 foot track you speak of also.good luck with the new car,

how about them LE boys this weekend.......domination.wonder how many other chassie's will go in the trash and new LE car will be bought this week.lol

Oldguy, I think you are missing the point of my post. I think everyone has a safe setup that they fall back on. I realize that the safe setup might vary slightly from track to track. However, there are always going to be a similar starting point on a high bite flat oval when running 4300 brushless, whether it be 100' or 170'.

To be more specific, what is a good starting point for a LE Executioner running on a smooth flat carpet oval?

To be more specific, what is a good starting point for a LE Executioner running on a smooth flat carpet oval?
Here goes........

Front:
Short wheelbase, servo centered, front end brace
RF:
Red progressive spring, 2 deg camber, just a little sag, 2 deg caster
LF:
Red Std. Spring, more sag, 2 deg + camber, 0 deg caster

Batteries:
about in the middle, ESC and reciever on the tray

Rear:
Center shock 25w, silver AE spring, mounted high, .063 f-glass tbar, tbar offset to left, centered pod with short hub on right side
LR:
gold or blue side shock spring, 25 or 30 wt, 4" from center of car to outside of tire
RR:
blue side shock spring, 4 1/16 from center of car to outside of tire.

12.0 oz on LR
Proto dodge charger body
3 whites and a black RF tires (BSR)

Should be a good starting point.....
Adjust from there.

So there you go Brian; right from an A-main Leading Edge driver at this past weekend's BRL race in Fort Wayne. I know Dave, I saw how his car ran, and I know how hard he works at race set ups. Dave has owned serveral LE cars, and he is always very competitive in 4300 brushless. But again as he notes: this "Should be a good starting point and you will need to adjust from there...." to make it your car and to get the feel of the car that YOU are looking for. Now, I doubt that all other LE drivers will set their cars up exactly like Dave has, but I also feel pretty confident in saying that none of those same guys would likely tell you that Dave's set up suggestions can not work for you. If you have an LE car now, enjoy it--you have a selected a fine race car. There have been a number of LE cars in my family for some time, and the driver of those cars consistently makes his father, (the "Oldguy") very proud. LE products flat out work !! Best regards Brian, and good racin to ya.

Straight from the old thread from Dave: A good "Starting" point would be.

Tires Grey LF, double black or G6 RF,
rears, 2 G4's, white LR, grey RR. in the rear you can use a combination of whites, greys, G4 and G5's.

I like the AE T plates, start with .063, if you need to free up the rear try . 075. Always measure the T plate as they are different from run to run. I like using the offset T plate location (closest to the Battery).

I run the short wheelbase, I have seen guys run great with the long as well.

Blue side springs with 30w and the blue center with 40-50w #2 piston when using the HPI shock.

I run the HD Monte, alot of guys are going fast with the dodge as well.

The biggest change to any setup is the tires. The sizing and compound is everything. If you have the wrong size or compound on any one corner, it will wreck to entire setup and you can do very little to bring it back.
If you have any questions just Pm or give me a call.

I have a been working on what Rc4less tires seem to be working good for stock so if anybody would like to know that I can help there.
Jerry B.

I think I'm going to try BSR tires, not because they are better than anything else, but because I can buy them directly at the local Hobbytown. Thanks for the responses so far.
