0.5 hubs on my car, 0 deg hubs for alec.
Long wheel base.
Link, outer on hub with 3 mill under ball stud.
we played around with the inner ball stud, i ended up on the upper 2nd inner hole.
3 deg toe in brace
1 mill shim under the front brace
I have a speed passion speedo, speed passion 6.5 motor on kit spur(79) and 23 tooth pinion.
The car was very good today. It was my fourth meeting with the car, but the first time with the car right, I had the servo saver waaaaaaay to loose and the car was doing very random things, locked that up and the car was sweet!!! I ran a used set of tyres in practice and put a new set of rears on for Q-1 and kept the same set on all day, I wanted to see how the car worked at the end of the day with worn tyres. There was a big drop off in performance in my final with shagged tyres. For big meetings I will make sure a good tyre is on at all times.
I also rebuilt the diff last week with Lazy balls from R/C lazy with NUCLEAR R/C grease and the diff is probably the best diff I have ever built!
And for those of you that know me this is an amazing fact hunt haha
Both Alec and Myself will continue to develop the setup all this year and we both will regularly update our set-up in this section.
