I have pictures of the car in another thread so maybe you can see what I mean?

WHat is the minimum weight in the UK?

I'm asking because when I take all the weight out like you guys said I'm at 1476gr.

Cheers

Hi Dave, i've thought about spacing the shocks away from the tower as i'm not entirely happy with the "leaning" but i'm not sure whether it will make any difference at all so i've not tried it yet, i'm just using the standard TRF spacing.

On the wheelbase i've dremelled away the rear raised section of the wishbone and inserted a TRF blue 2mm spacer at the front of the wishbone to effectively lengthen the wheelbase. I also found that dremelling the hub end of the wishbone (evenly) gives enough space to insert a 1mm plastic spacer so you can space it back and forward as necessary. If this isn't clear come and have a look on Friday and it only takes a couple of minutes to sort. :thumbsup:

On the subject of weight, i'm going to try some stuff out tonight (Moto Arena) and will post on here tomorrow what the differences were :thumbsup:

Will investigate the dremelling to increase the wheelbase :thumbsup:

Where is the best place for wheel base adjustments these days, on the hubs or wishbones. I.e. inboard or out?

Just in a conversation about this at the minute and the opinion is that the shock should be at a 90 degree angle to the wishbone at all times (mine isn't). If this is the case then shimming of the the shock bottom is dependent on the amount of anti squat you run. I've never heard of this until now so it's all new to me LOL.

That reminds me can I have my X-Factory Dremel back now please? :p (could not resist)

LOL, no problem mate, i'll bring it with me to Stotfold, I forgot you'll need it soon for when your X7 arrives ;)

Nice one :D:p:p:p

DC, what do you mean when you say cut down front wheels, I've never run staggers before?? Are you glueing them??

The inside of the wheel, cut to the first inner rib, leave the rib on, you cut off 10m or so, so the tyre sits narrow on the wheel. If you don't cut the wheel it makes the profile of the stagger rib much wider, then glue the tyre with none other than Nuclear RC tyre glue, it's the BOLLOCKS:thumbsup:

we'll sort that friday if you nervous doing it mate:thumbsup:

Have you tried the cut staggered tyres yet?

I've not tried them, normal staggers work just fine.

I found that too, but more out of interest :)

Will 501 wishbones be ok on the rear as I broke the car testing :(

Mikey, 501 will fit but you'll need a dremel, as they foul on the outdrives as standard (the new dn01 wishbones don't).

Guys, setup wise, liked mine at Stot at the weekend, one thing though, feels like it could use a bit more droop, are you all using standard 201 shock shafts, standard vega tower etc, or have you tried increasing rear droop?

How were the cars at Stotfold?
