There is a lot of information scattered across the oval racing forums on HobbyTalk. What I want to try and do is have the RC Oval racing FAQ forum a place where all of these useful bits of information is located to make it easier for visitors to find info they may need.

If you know of a post that includes information that would be useful to a wide veriaty of visitors, just post a reply here with a link to the post. If it would be a good fit here, I will make a copy of it in the RC Oval Racing FAQ.

NOTE: New threads can not be started by anyone but me. This forum is not intended to be a discussion forum, but a place to easily find tuning info, tips, FAQs, etc. so there is no need for discussion.

I think calculating roll out or finding the right gear ratio would help here is a thread I found.

Thank you Hank, I have just spent the past few weeks reading and taking notes on past threads. I think this will help reduce having the same questions asked over and over again. I found alot of useful info on the Lefthander Q&A thread and the reactive caster thread.

Outstanding idea Hank, finally we will have information without conflict.

great idea Hank!

what are the rules for Etruck

Hank,
Could you post a sticky with tire compounds, t-plate rates and fitment(what t-plate works with what car), also spring rates?
I know they are posted all over the place but not everyone knows where to find them.

Thanks!
:)
Chuck

As well as sprint charts for both front end shocks.
What the # numbers can do for you and when to use them.
