View Full Version : Custom Works AGGRESSOR...
jashack79 12-05-2005, 10:57 PM Tested my new slider for the first time yesterday, I have ran a blue car on carpet since they came out, and it did everything and then some I was very pleased, ran many different setups and compared laptimes and everytime it got better. Steve Salvas' setups felt the best with and offset pod but laptimes were very close with centered pod. The car was faster when i started stiffening the side springs, just curious what people think about soft sides vs stiffer sides with this car.
Jason
Mr.fastman 12-05-2005, 11:16 PM Jason - The stiffer side springs work really well especially with the offset T-plate, as long as there is enough grip.

bluelineracer 12-06-2005, 09:47 AM i agree jason. i liked salvas' baseline setup and kept tweaking from there. i stayed on the blue/gold spring combo...but will likely go stiffer this weekend. since i built my original aggressor last year i've never had the t-plate anywhere but offset...always seemed plenty fast. this car was faster out of the box than my solid car....we'll see what else we can do. i'm trying to stay away from copying the solid car setup on this car as i'd like to give it a fair test. good luck and hope to race with ya soon.

vsp655 12-06-2005, 01:51 PM Does anyone know When the guys from C/W will be in the office. I know the holidays and the release of the slider is a busy time, but I would like to get the rest of the parts for my slider. Thanx
Al Spina Fan 12-06-2005, 01:54 PM I believe most of the team went to VA for the Open Wheel race this coming weekend.
Mr.fastman 12-06-2005, 07:45 PM VSP - The whole team is at the Open wheel race in Va. They should be in the shop/office on Monday the 12th. What parts do you need?

davepull 12-06-2005, 08:34 PM hey guys I am going to get to run my aggressors on flat carpet for the first time in awhile. I have steve's set up and was looking to see what everyone else is running.

vsp655 12-07-2005, 01:34 PM Thanks to all who replied. I forgot that was this weekend Ithought it was last weekend.
Mr.Fastman- I am ing to get the bolts,washer,and nuts to mount the slider tray to the bracket and the bracket to the chassis. Also my slider wasn't drilled with the holes countersunk.
jake86 12-07-2005, 02:43 PM hey guys I am going to get to run my aggressors on flat carpet for the first time in awhile. I have steve's set up and was looking to see what everyone else is running.
What size track will you be running on?
davepull 12-07-2005, 05:18 PM snowbirds size
Mr.fastman 12-07-2005, 08:22 PM VSP - Sorry that happened, some kits slipped out that way, I'm sure Arnie and Rob will take care of you when they return. Are you able to countersink the holes yourself?

jsrocket13 12-07-2005, 11:30 PM Hey guys what lead in and has any body ran there slider car on a flat track yet mine will be here tommarow and ill be racing it sat i need some tips please
Mr.fastman 12-07-2005, 11:53 PM jsrocket - I've run mine once on flat carpet and I lead the LF 1/16 or one hole, it seemed to give a little more turn in.
The car is stiffer than the solid chassis and very responsive to changes.
IF you need more info I can send you the setup sheet.

so far so good...
Eric team CW
erock1331 12-10-2005, 09:50 AM So when are you gonna put it on the track?
Today, gonna try some 19T at Classic.
davepull 12-10-2005, 10:09 AM no offset tplate on that ride Eric H?
erock1331 12-10-2005, 10:14 AM no offset tplate on that ride Eric H?
Not for banked racing. I always run straight up plate / straight up pod in stock on banked and straight up plate / offset pod in 19T and Mod.
Actually on flat track I tried the plate offset/pod straight up and my car was wickedly inconsistent. Could have blown something else in the setup which was probably the case but I was getting beat by a straight up/straight up car so that setup works too.
davepull 12-10-2005, 10:30 AM cool man I have always ran the car with the offset tplate. maybe I should try centering it up. I am also trying out a offset servo for the first time on this car. looks cool.

hey where id you get this pic of my left front??? LOL.. i been doin that for about 5 years.. i thought you ran a right side block on the left ?? I was almost thinking of trying something new like the right side block...
ericsalvas 12-10-2005, 03:22 PM well..its a small world...my twin bros is using a right side spindle arm on the left...i never did....always had this setup....
Eric
burbs 12-10-2005, 03:50 PM well..its a small world...my twin bros is using a right side spindle arm on the left...i never did....always had this setup....
Eric
DO you think it makes any difference between the two?? Im sure they somewhat work the same, i just havent tried the right block due to the ride height changes..
Your the first person ive seen doing the same thing with the left block so i had to make the joke>>
davepull 12-10-2005, 04:38 PM Eric S I do the same thing to my blocks on the left side. check out My gallery i posted some pics of My 19T car with the darkside offset servo kit
ericsalvas 12-10-2005, 08:53 PM your cars look great davepull...the left servo mount look tricky...

Bill Johnson 12-10-2005, 10:32 PM Eric S I do the same thing to my blocks on the left side. check out My gallery i posted some pics of My 19T car with the darkside offset servo kit
You must have been talking to Lamballs when you pulled that stunt. Who painted your bodies? They look pretty good...........
Bill Johnson
davepull 12-11-2005, 03:19 AM well it makes sense more left side weight the better. lol really I talked to Lamballs he said I must try it. Jason might not be the most like person but I respect his opinion on chassis set up. so i'll give it a try.
As for the bodies thank you very much i take alot of pride in having a sweet looking ride. I paint all my own stuff. it is all hand cut with an exacto. so when it's slow at least it looks cool. lol
jsrocket13 12-11-2005, 04:03 AM Guys love the car still need more time but not much its fast out of the box gotta try a few more things to see what happens
Jimmy
erock1331 12-11-2005, 07:53 PM davepull
how is the darkside servo kit working ?
I ran my slider for the first time at Classic in 19T. The last time I ran 19T was 2 years ago so I was a little rusty but managed to take TQ down with a pretty stout field.
I am happy with it.
davepull 12-11-2005, 08:10 PM haven't ran it yet. i'll try it out next year at minnreg on the 7th.
