Your giving it up Dave? Send me a PM on why you are switching.
Daryl Silva

pm sent!

TQ & WIN for the X-FACTOR this past Sunday in 19 turn!
Is there any release date for the Checkpoint 19 turn? Perhaps before the KC race at Racers Haven. Dave & I will be there for sure! Maybe you could send one motor to Jake so i can use it. LOL. I need more LEGAL horsepower to compete with the drilled & milled gang..LOL Thanks. George.

Great job George. When is the race at Racers Haven? I plan on making it if it's not this weekend. Duane and Steve are sending motors out daily. Jake should have some soon.
DS

I just gotta say I love the battery tray, my first step to a conversion!!:)

There's a local race at Haven this weekend, the KC Race is Aug 6 & 7. I hope you guys can make it. Brian Boudakian and myself have also been running the Silva car there - and running well with it!

Thanks John Card.
I will be there on the 6th and 7th without Duane. Going to bring the pony's! Let me know if Brian needs anything.
DS

thanks again for the help today daryl !

Hi Guys...I was just wondering if you could post a good starting setup for a flat carpet track (snowbird dimensions.) I will be running 19T. Just getting ready to build my X-factor and want to keep it as a carpet car. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

RYR: Send me a PM so I can get a set-up to you.
Daryl Silva

Daryl,
Could you put the setup for a flat Carpet track (snowbird dimensions) on here so everyone can see. Thank you, allot of people would probably benefit.

Bob T

Ive Got A Killer For Stock If Any One Wants It Thanks!

absolutely

So what's the scoop on the new fronts springs:
They available yet?
What are the rates?
How long and wide are they compared to a Wolfe spring?
Can you use with Assoc 9110 kingpins with them or do you need the Longer Wolfe pins?

Hi Daryl...you've got a pm.

Dave W...I would be glad to have your stock setup as well.

Thanks,
Chris

hey evceryone,
does anyone run a straight up rear pod on a banked carpet track or offset? jus was curous and figured i check on it. great looking car you guys. think i might save up the money for the conversion kit. thanks for any answers.
~Jake Feskanin~

Erock the springs from what I know are still in the testing phase. Also of note Wolfe king pins are assocated part number 6226.

Jake I would run an off set pod if I were running mod or 19t on a banked track. I feel in stock you can run either but probally be fast with stright up.

-Monti-

stock set up is coming

Erock the springs from what I know are still in the testing phase. Also of note Wolfe king pins are assocated part number 6226.

thanks Monti, I didnt know that about the Assoc 6226.

I typically use 9110's cause they are shorter and eliminates the need for all the shims.
Also for me it seemed the 9110's always held up longer than Wolfe long pins if you decide to hit the wall.

do you guys know if the pod on the new x-factor is straight up or offset? thanks for the help you guys.
~Jake Feskanin~

Jake,
Any pan car has the ability run straight up or offset.
The Silva is a conversion kit, therefore you will need to supply the rear axle and hubs.

So with that in mind:
For offset you need the longer Right Rear drive hub and a 1/2" left side claming hub.
For straight up pod you need the shorter Right rear drive hub and a 3/4" Left side clamping hub or use a 1/2" with some shims to get proper rear track width.

Some of the newer cars, HD pro 3, The Edge, Custom works, all have the ability to offset the pod and/or the whole t-plate. The RIP solid car we are working on will that ability as well.

Hope that helps

eric,
will offset still work in a stock car setup? so you do have to run different t-plates in straight up and offset?
~Jake Feskanin~

When you off set the pod on the x-factor it still uses the same standard L4 t-plate.

Erock yeah the 6226 king pins are junk. I have been useing king pins from Losi they 1.42 in length (I do not know the part number). They are stronger than 9110 and they are gold!

-Monti-

Monti then are the titanium nitride ones... Man i go down to indy a few times last year, then all of a suddon all the guys down there are using my secret kingpins... ha ha ha.. all i did was size them up with the kingpins i had... there 7 bucks a pair..

the edge is locked t plate, and locked pod.. it is only offset. no center posoition..

yep burbs is right forgot about the Edge being that way.

The part number on the Losi pins are LOSA6089

Okay guys this is for 4 cell stock

1 i use the standard assoc king pins with wolfe springs i run a white on the left front and a white on the right front on my home track i run an orange with a little preload this is a very short track 64 laps in stock 2degrees caster on right front 0 on left.

2 I run the right front .25 back of the right :wave: front

3 50 wt oil in center shock with a green associated spring addjust tension to get desired steering responce 35 wt in sides with a red wolfe on right and a gold on left stiff side to side i also use standoffs to make the shocks alittle more parellel too i think there trinity i do run offset pod


4 tires bsr green left front white with silver edge on right front

white on inside rear and gray on right out side



i run very little steering in the car also i have my electronics all up on the left front tire with the tray up 2 holes any question just ask!

Dave, thanks for posting your set-up. I will have my snowbirds set-up posted tonight. Dave you stuff is going out today. Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for our revised front end springs.

no problem soryy not the best typer in the worl trying to do this at work

What effect are you guys seeing by sliding the RF wheel back from the std position? Currently, I have mine set back about 1/8", but what will happen if I slide it more or less than that? I haven't really experimented with it yet, just copied a friends setup as a starting point.

the car will rotate in most situations better kind of like a wip effect

John, the more you pull the right front back the more the car wants to turn into the corner.

-Monti-

What is the difference between the front springs DW gave me to use & the revised springs? Thanks. GM.

Also for me it seemed the 9110's always held up longer than Wolfe long pins if you decide to hit the wall.



Decide to hit the wall??LMFAO

How many of you are using rear steer? I've been running it in the 0 position so far. What should I expect to change on the setup if I add rear steer? I'm thinking of trying the .015 slug for a small carpet track (135' run line) Thanks!

The steering trim will be your major adjustment. I would put your normal set up on the car & tune from there.

John Card: I ran the .015 at the snowbirds. It loosens the car up and gives it more initial turn in. I always run it but I like a loose car. Most people need to add left rear weight when they run it. You can also play with the front springs. Let me know if you have any more questions.

What shocks should I use on my 1/12 scale? Running 19t on flat carpet.

Thanks

JJ

JJ: You can run just our standard shock. Is it a 3 shock car?
Daryl Silva

Yes, 3 shock car.

Thanks
