Hi all I have been testing a new rear camber link plate for the last month or so along with a couple of other people. We have found it to give a lot better balance to the car on high grip tracks in the mid motored configuration! Helps the rear end not to collapse in the corner as much due to being able to run a shorter link! You do have to Dremel the old mount off the gearbox but the new plate has the standard hole in as well. It should also fit the rear motored setup but I have not had time to try this yet but will over the weekend. I will be making a batch next week and want to gauge some interested in the part. They will be £7.50 posted if you are interested in one could you Pm me

i saw a guy using a schumacher one so this should be a good job?

hope you can confirm if this will fit for RM configuration and also pics.. then it'll be great.

thanks.

Hi i am going to try it tonight so will let you know tomorrow

Hi Nick,

hope you can share some pics for this product in Rear Motor Config, (will combine mine with the rear tower) :D

i have a picture of eugene gallys with what looks like a schumacher part on, did not know till i read this..

From Amain , i thought so too when i was browsing Amain.

get any testing done?

Rear link
 

Just tried this rear link last night and it really locked in the rear of the car and made it much more consistent to drive (and faster), don`t get the rear grip roll that was there and can push the car much more.
Excellent upgrade.
Used 2nd hole out on hub & 2nd hole in on plate.(from centre of link).:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hi Nick,

will these work for RM configuration? any pics?

thanks,

Jun.

Hi yes it fits the rear motor but i forgot to take a pic will try and do it this weekend



Nick

when will we see pictures when running this fantastic piece RM config ?

Sorry for delay i will try and find time to change to rear motor in after i have ran the car on Sunday

i have received mine and trying to work out how to fit it in RM config.
Do i need to shave off the ears on the diff casing?

yeah you have to remove the old camber mounts all the way back to the diff bearing mounts if that make sense

Hi Jarred,

Can you post some pics after installing? would be nice for us planning to get one also..

thanks,:thumbsup:

Nick, what size screws are in the chassis to replace the one going through tthe roll bar?

not got my car here at the moment but im guessing around 16mm but will check and Pm you tomorrow

Great, just fitted the plate. Now, because the plate provides different hole settings to the standard, it's no longer possible to do a direct comparison to the set-up sheets where the drivers are using the standard gear cover position. So, I was wondering what hub/plate positions people are using for different conditions, in particular:

1. Carpet mid traction?
2. Astro wet low traction?
3. Astro dry high traction?

In general, am I right in assuming that you use a shorter link to get more lateral grip, e.g. in lower traction situations? looking at other posts and links some seem to suggest this, but then some suggest you get sudden break away's which are more difficult to control.

Also looking at AE's RC cheat sheets it suggests short links for medium grip and long for high grip situations, but then goes on to say 'The longer the link, the less camber change, and the more traction. The shorter the link, the more camber change, and the less traction'. Confused - don't we need more traction in low traction situations?

Now, adding removing washers under the plate ball. Is this doing exactly the same as shortening/lengthening the link, or is there a subtle difference in the effect because of the change in the link angle?

Finally, if I maintain the same length of link but move it in/out on both the hub and plate to keep the same camber setting, is there any difference in the effect?

You can tell I'm totally messed up on this one.

From what I have read when you raise the ball stud height you are lowering the roll centre and when lowering the ball stud you end up with a higher roll centre. The camber link plate allows you to do this as I did read somewhere alot of people wanted to lower the ball stud and were taking plastic off of the gearbox to accomodate this but it is a weak area even before you take any plastic off.

Just to say many thanks for all the orders and they have all been posted today :thumbsup:

You could go for the tresrey option which is very similar if not slightly nicer.
