Adjustable damping on 380

[rafphillips]

Taken front access panel off my 380 for the first time.

Noticed these are they standard?

Nope, looks like you have the 2 way nitrons (track pack) check inside engine bay and also anti roll bars.

 

cheers

Does yours have them Dan? I am sure you said that it was fully loaded. If so, how do you rate them ?

Nope, clearly I was talking s***, I'm on bilstiens, it's the only thing I dont have, I have the TI exhaust and all the carbon but standard suspension and yep the understeer is terrible.

But I'm going to try flicking in more and maybe some trail braking at some point

Well give me a shout if you want to offload your titanium exhaust! Would consider allowing you my standard exhaust plus cash my way 😂🤪😉

Haha, fyi the answer ends with 'off' lol

But I reckon you get could get a deal on those 2 ways, as they didn't exist 2 weeks ago, hey @rafphillips

😂 

So Dan mines fully loaded bar the TI Exhaust now.... I won’t remind you again what I paid 🤫 and as an added bonus big shit in the morning and I save the extra 10kg before a drive.

Lotus are fecktards though, legend correct gotta be a touch of inbreeding in that neck of the woods 😜 

So they gave the first owner a Li-on charger but standard battery. I started using it and took to the garage saying battery or charger is fucked and the looked at me like was  mad. They said uh you may want to try a standard charger you have a standard (but smaller lightweight one).

He didn’t order a track pack but gave him one! 1st owner didn’t have a clue on either front.

I thought it was proper firm and sketchy over even the slightest bumps at pace .... it was set in track attack mode firmness wise.

And I was told if you cut a slot in the centre (where the steel is) you have instant 3 way nitrons. Can’t say who told me (but someone who knows his stuff), it just blew me away. There are however some differences. So when they need and overhaul just ask Nitron to return them to proper 3 way hobbies.
