Clay setup
Miles, So Dialed's RC setup AI
For the XRAY XT2 ’24 on clay, start with -2° camber front and rear, 1° front toe-out, 3° rear toe-in, and 2° anti-squat. There isn’t a clay-specific XT2 setup in the available setup information; the listed XT2 kit setup is for carpet, so these are general 1/10 2WD truck baseline settings, not a confirmed XT2 clay sheet.
Rear toe-in helps the truck stay planted and drive forward, while the small amount of front toe-out helps it turn in. The 2° anti-squat is a starting point for traction and acceleration. Keep the rest of your setup unchanged for the first test, then adjust one setting at a time.
- For a smooth, hard clay surface, try slick or mostly shaved rear tires; for damp or loose clay, use a tread that can bite.
- For steering or rear grip, choose compound based on grip, temperature, and wear. Clay tire guidance lists Gold-05 or Silver-06 for JConcepts clay compounds.
Watch for excess rear grip causing traction roll, or too little rear grip making the truck spin under power. What kind of clay is it: smooth and grooved, dusty, or loose and damp?
