thanks Steve I wish some of the other guys would be as helpful as you.

Arnie, Steve or any other CW hotshoe ....... what's a good setup for medium to high traction smooooooth asphalt?.

Where would you put the front end and side shocks ? to try and achieve maximum corner speed and forward bite off the corner ? .....and any other tips to help the car rotate thru the corner .........Thanks

Dave P and I race together about once a month ...... and we both need to know:lol:

cneyedog: I posted a set-up like that in the neighboorhood of page #4 on this thread awhile back. I'll get a set-up sheet version of it on our website next week.

ARNIE DUDE WHERE DID YOU GET TO SUNDAY I PITTED NEXT YOUR CAR BUT NOBODY WAS THERE TO DRIVE IT SOMETHING ABOUT A HANGOVER?? LATER ,, STEVE :confused:

Does anyone have a good setup for an aggressor for the Custom Works race in Deleware on June 25th.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. My email is losi_8@yahoo.com.

Joe

losi888, If you call Custom Works and talk to Arnie I'm sure he can put you in the ballpark.

JB

losi888: Going to post it on our website with other set-ups very soon.

ARNIE will Father Frank be making the trip this year ,and how has room in a trailor for an old man like me ...SRM

Thank You everyone for there help with my car. Cant wait to race it at the Seaford race.

Joe D

How has everyone been doing? With set-up, testing, racing?? It's been quiet here..

I'd Let ya know how my racing has been going, but the last 2 race weekends we've been washed out here in florida

John, I shook my CW down sunday at the Mill.......AWESOME!!!!!!

Hey all, Finally posted some set-ups and such under "tech tips" on our website. Also listed is a good starting point for the CustomWorks Race at Seaford this weekend.

CustomWorksRC.com

Thanks Arnie for the info, keep the information coming as you get it ...... there's quite a few of the Custom works pan oval cars here in central florida (and in Jax too.....your welcome Dave Pull.....lol). I'd also like to thank Custom Works for their support of the FOCAR Oval series as well.........very cool.

Cneyedog: No problem at all. Been promising getting that info up for awhile, should have been sooner.

Does anyone have any cap tire info on this car... AS far as i can see this car stinks on cap tires... I have been trying to help my buddy get hi car faster and it wont go.. there is 4 guys locally running cw's on caps.. all of them are about a lap slow...

many emails have been sent to custom works asking for any info or help... but no responce back..I would guess there is no cap tire info...

Ps if anyone is looking for a agressor . i have one my buddy wants to seelll.. 275 shipped.. car is in great shape.. a few scuffs on the chassis... id say 15 packs through the car...

Hi BURBS , Arnie did very well last year on caps ......I am sure tjhey are busy with all the new carsd they have designed as of late....I will see all the Customworks guys this weekend at SEAFORD DELAWARE and will have them get back to ya ....

ROCKET

burbs, shoot me a PM and I'll give you a hand. I'm running an Aggressor at Trax70 in NJ and having really good results, the car is always on pace with the leaders. The track is a high banked concrete tri-oval and very fast. Just let me know what type of track and what you have under the car for a setup now.

Long story short, my buddy was frustrated.. he could only do 32 laps.. on our track. www.triclone.net (http://www.triclone.net/) you need at least a 33 but if you want top 5 you need a 34... some guys have even tank the 35 lap mark...

I picked up the car on fri.. rebuilt it more less like my maverick car..i was able to get the car to do a slow 33 lap run...my maverick has been 34 laps consistently... you need around 6.8 laps up front, and finish at roughly 7.2's.. i ran 15 packs through the CW.. making many changes, and i only did two 6.9's.. the other guys with the cars have not been below 6.9 either... Im flustered with the car...

sorry if the first post seemed rude. thats not how i wqanted it to be...

thanks guys

What side shock oil and springs are u using?

Doug P

our track only olive or silver sides work,, and the occasional blue... i tried 30 wt oil.. and all three springs..setups from car to car are actually very close..

I would say every combination has been used .. the other guys have been searching for weeks..

You running the tall balls on the pod? If you are heavier springs will be needed I believe....and why set it up like a maverick, it isn't one.

Try stiffer side to side, it made a world of difference on mine.
Doug P

Burbs,
Just wondering if you tried the set-up from post #604. Curious as to the set-up you tried and worked with.

Take care,
John

i started it with the setup off my maverick because i knew the setup works... It was just a base to start.. as i said before.. most cars setups will transfer from one to the other...

also the setup on 605 is one of the local guys i run with... he has changed alot as well.. he made a few changes that i made and he got faster..

when i started with the car it was in the 8.0 sec lap time range... i got it down to basically 7.2 average. 7.7- 7.9 after. but then it wouldnt drop anymore... had a few 6.9 ect but up front.. need to be 4-5 tenths faster .. i should finish with 7.2-7.3 sec laps..


Basicaly my buddy had decide he wont be keeping the car... he had better lick with his old car.... but if you guys want to post more info i know the other guys i run with frequent this page for cw info..

Had mine on caps this weekend and last night, not off at all. Will post setup after I get home from work tonight.
