Jamie ORL 06/10 at Trax 70-they were running 5.9-6.0's on Sun with 4300's.They will only get faster as the temps get warmer.Are you going to make it?I believe they are running on 06/03 and 06/08(Fri night race)if you want a little practice time.

I have a very good setup for 4300 for the lightning. Gimme your email and I will try and scan the sheet and email it to you.

The car ran 5.8 sec laps for about 2 minutes and ran 50 laps.
Davz: I lost your e-mail, think you could kick that tri-clone outdoor set-up sheet my way, actually I think I’m on to something with my set-up, so I was looking for just these things to go off of

What T plate did you use?
How was it mounted Offset/centered?
Rear pod offset/centered
Front springs L & R did you have any sag in ether one?
Rear springs color, side and center
Rear axel width, how many shims did you have on the RR tire?
And last but not least the all mighty chassis rake, how much between the rear and front?
Your the only other guy I know that has ran the lightning there so any info you got would be awesome to have.

On another note:
my first time racing the 13.5 lightning on caps I finished 3rd in the A with 47 laps, my best last year with ANOTHER brand of car and a 4300 was a 47 lap something .
What can A Leading Edge do for you? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup

Thanks

A few people have asked about my setup from the Steel City Hobbies National race a month back (4300 setup). Sorry it has taken so long but here it is.

Lightning chassis with the old style rear top and bottom plates.
--RF: Red progressive spring/ 4 degrees castor / -1 degree camber / G6 tire
--LF: Red Std spring / 2 degrees castor / +1 camber / white tire
--LR: Silver spring / 50 weight / white tire
--RR silver spring / 50 weight / Gray tire

Other notes: I ran the Windtunnel front end springs in this car. Center shock was an HPI with a #2 piston and 70 weight oil. I always run the ORC Super Soft T-bar. The car had stock front castor blocks. Just enough preload in the front so there is just a touch of sag in the left. The car ran a centered t-bar with the pod offset to the felt. Left rear wheel in as far as I could get it and the wide right side hub with no axle spacing.
I ran the T-HD body.

This is the setup I run everywhere for a starting point minus the tire combo. I ran this SAME setup and Seaford, DE except for a tire change.
