Will the people that have requested to be put on the list for the slider be notified that they are on the list or will they be notified when the chassis is available. Just wondering as my email request has not been confirmed.

Three: Everyone who orders a car either thru us or thru their Local Hobby Shop will be notified by the arrival of the kit! Shipping date of the 15th is looking really good.

JsRocket: There are no plans or anything in the works for a 1/12th scale car, sorry.

Any help from you CW drivers out there. The car is awsome! But i would like to have a little more control of the car out of off camber corner. The car does't break loose it just has a little wiggle as you exit ( if you dive under somebody for a pass) and it sometimes will make the car square off the corners. What can I adjust to help this out without hurting the other corner? Our track is 115 berber carpet with 10ft lanes and a 4 ft infield. It is a paper clip track with lots of bite. I am running white rears, purple RF green LF, springs white LF, red RF, center shock is silver spring 50wt oil and is in the top hole, side shocks are 50wt oil, beige LR spring silver RR spring both are mounted on the bottom hole. Offset tplate (stock) pod offset to left and rear width is 8 1/4 (no spacers on RR axle). Rear pod is long and front is short wheel base. RF is 1 hole from the widest spot, and the LF is 1 hole from narrowest spot. LF are is 1 hole down on castor block and RF is 2 holes down from top. We are running 4 cell brushless 5800.

davepull
11-10-2005, 05:54 PM
i would try to take some of the camber gain out of the RF.

KenBajdek
11-10-2005, 06:59 PM
I thought about reducing the camber gain on RF but what about increasing castor on the LF so it will slide more on exit? I have 1 deg castor lf 2 deg on RF.

davepull
11-10-2005, 07:03 PM
i would try lowering the LF A arm before the castor. that will add camber gain and it won't turn as hard off.

Thanks, I will try that Friday night. It is nice to have a car that responds to small changes. The car is close but it can always be a little better.

11-12-2005, 10:45 AM
to me the most important thing that makes CW a great car for me personally, is when I make a change, even slight... i can feel/see the difference on the track. I've had cars in the past that were'nt that responsive.

Hello...
I'm in the process of building my first Aggressor and was wondering if anyone has any setups for Manatee Thunder Raceway. I will be starting off in stock. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. :rolleyes:

davepull
11-14-2005, 08:43 PM
ok first run the long wheelbase and long pod. to do this you run the middle holes on the frontend. white front springs , green associated center spring silver lr and green rr. run the offset fiberglass t plate with a off set pod. on the frontend and shock positions run them in the kit location

shock oils 30wt side 50 center

tire 3 pinks and purple.

doug I have ran there before is is super bumpy with no grip. i tryed red springs first and you actually see the frontend hoping. went to the white spring and more droop in the frontend and that solved it.

I would like to say thanks to Steve and Arnie for your setup sheets. I have run my new Aggressor 3 weekends now and picked up 3 laps.
I have to say that this car is the best car that I have ever had.
I have never had a car corner like this car.
If I hadn't wrecked with my teamate. I would of qualified 4th in the A main in brushless at the fall oval shootout at Hobbyplex in Omaha NE this past weekend.

Thanks Again.

Davepull: Is that you and Skip are talking about track concrete or at least cap tires?

Speedpunk: Thanks for the words, we are all here on hobbytalk to help.

BTW: Erock, Mr Fastman, Jake Flurer, Phil Marabella, myself and a bunch of others will all be at Sandhills, NC this weekend for the Oval Masters race. Come say hi, we'll either be pitting on the backstraight by turn #3 and/or in the "back room".

Mrfastman I sent you an email last Thursday.

Davepull, thanks for the setup help!! Dropping the LF camber gain mount helped the car so much that I was so much better off of that corner #2 that I was able to pass cars instead of waiting until turn 3 or 4. The car TQ'd and was just off of the track record set last week by another Aggressor.

Got the car together and mounted Jaco Tires on it. I have tightened the lock nut on the fronts as far as it goes and the wheels still aren't tight. There is a lot of play left. Am I missing a spacer somewhere??? :freak:

Depending on how you look at it the Jaco wheels are narrower, or provide track width adjustment. Add shims as necessary.

I've got one of the original kits from the beginning of last year. The car isn't as good as it used to be. I've tried a lot of different things, and have inspected the graphite extensively. Has anyone experienced this????? Is it possible the graphite is just tired? I always have thought there's nothing like a new chassis. Thinking about converting the car to a slider.

Arnie Fie

Kits are shipping now as they were ordered.
