You would want sprint dash motor instead of power dash, or else those MS chassis with mach dash pro and tayar sotong would easily tapau your car.
Some weight reduction would help too, like using polycarbonate cover and skip the reinforcing plate on the liberty emperor.

An easy recipe for S2 for speed ....

- 830 front
- 830 rear top, 620 rear bottom
- 620 wheel bearings all around
- sprint dash
- 3.5:1 gear ratio
- reinforce front bumper by using Super X rear FRP plate as underguard

For HG plates, use at least the 2mm ones (HG Carbon for AR chassis front and rear set). Remove the stock plastic rear stay. 1.5mm HG could break or bend at high speeds especially when approaching corners.
For the front make sure you have at least 2 degrees angle adjustment or else your car will fly at high speed corners.
All bearings must be as smooth as f**k and able to spin freely without hesitant. Make sure the rear rollers are straight, parallel to ground surface and does not tilt backward, not even a little bit.

The rest is up to your skill in tuning the motor.

* tilt backward = recipe for disaster

Is AO 620 bearing similar to round hole bearing set?

I find 1999 hobby search item pricing on the high side and even the shipping fees is expensive.

MA is quite popular in Borneo for technical race... so we over here also wonder why West Malaysia racers rarely use MA. LOL.

Lets say.... MA chassis is a b****! Is hard to setup for Semi Speed.... But I'm seeing the good side of the MA chassis...

My setup of MA chassis is almost the finishing setup of able to run semi speed.

MA Chassis is stronger than MS chassis and easy to maintain (gearing).

MA chassis is heavier than MS Chassis does.

In Bintulu the most popular chassis are MS and AR (this is based on statistic during funraces and tournaments. Super II not so much.

Super 2 chassis is great for lightness but sucks on crash!

first time masuk fun race at tropicana. track gile lompat tak ingat. Manage to clock 22 seconds but cannot qualified due to other cars can get 17 seconds. oh my... maybe my car too berat.

Btw, i saw most of them using Super II rarther than AR, MA and MS chasis.
Learn a lot from most of the racers yesterday. Not kedekut ilmu for noobies like me.

First and foremost Super 2 chassis is famous being lightweight and easy setup and maintain.

If your car setup is good enough for semi speed track. And of the day it boils down the right gear ratio to complete the late. Don't think that 3.5:1 gear is the answer. There are times 4:1 gear ratio comes in handy.

HG = High Grade

And usually when there is HG means carbon not FRP.

HG Carbon = high grade carbon plate

FRP = Fiber Reinforced Polycarbonate similar those material made our motherboard aka PCB.

the setting soulfly is referring to is , the rear rollers top is using 830 and bottom is using the 620 ,front 830  , if i remember something to do with cornering or something which i forgot .

yeah 830 and 620 spacers the same
*
Is to counter cornering speed drop. Every corner you take reduce speed due to friction and drag.

Not suitable even it fits into the 830 bearing hole. It leaves around 1 to 2 mm of gap which is not good.

The only way to use 830 bearing is that you have to buy that bearing spacer packet.

Need one packet? I have ready stock. PM me. biggrin.gif

semi speed - sprint dash?
*
Semi speed can be sprint dash if straightway more than corners. But power dash after break in, is better than sprint due to high torque. During corner, power dash is faster than sprint.

Do some experiment. Setup sprint dash and power dash super 2 for semi speed. That way you can learn which is more suitable.
