Ok thanks. Gonna get myself a set for the ol' X10.

hi again
just wondering by taking the washer off the rear drive from behind the wheel adapter, have the wheel distance closer together will that give more rear end grip or less

cheers Pete

We use metric scale Jeff :p, about 0.038" (or drill size 62).;)

Its the vertical section at the rear of the wing that you can cut to change airflow.

More gurney = less steering at speed and more stability.

oops i forgot im on the wrong side of the pond. :D only the U.S. uses the standard measurement system.. lol i wish we didnt tho.

Alfonzo 10-02-2009 10:40 PM

Nahh, we use it too for some stuff, like Aerospace & fluid fittings. But mostly metric, which I prefer TBH as is much easier to get your head around. Still, we only have ourselves to blame as we came up with the inch system wayy back in the day :lol:

Hi Nathans,

I guess that the "pushrod lenth 23mm with shockball undone 1turn + new lower mounting point" you speak about in the three above setup!

what is the benefit of having the pushrod like that? i had it like that and front suspension felt alot stiffer.

niggs98 11-02-2009 07:20 AM

its a kev lee mod that has the same effect as moving the shock in on the bottom of the wishbone.

Alfonzo 11-02-2009 07:25 AM

Where did you get your stick lipo battery strap from?

If you are looking at the lower picture thats my car. The strap is a modified B4 strap with the "wings" cut off and holes drilled at either end.

Cheers Kev.
