You could try to apply the same philosophy as with a road car i.e. start with a spring weight that's double the corner weight - just a suggestion. Check out the web, there must some RC nuts around.regardsTerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ben Sent: Sunday, 5 May 2002 2:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: question   heh sorry, i forgot that RC also means rally car........radio-controlled car i was talking about :) just trying to set it up for road use....has fully adjustable wishbone suspension...just need to know where to start with settings ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 7:06 AM Subject: RE: question  Ben,It depends on the car i.e. IRS etc? On a 1600 most of the good handling dirt versions have slightly softer springs in the rear. When you look at the poundage rates on a 1600 allow for the spring to corner ratio on the rears which as around .26:1 and on the front with stock struts the rate is 1:1. i.e. 200# front springs are the same as ~800# rear springs. On a 1600 RC a good starting rate is 175# front and 600# rear.regardsTerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ben Sent: Friday, 3 May 2002 12:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: question   bit of a strange question. my brother has sent me his RC car to rebuild for him. im just setting up all the suspension at the moment. just wondering, with a normal car setup, are the rear springs stiffer than the front, or is it the other way round?? --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
