Antisquat?

[Windy]

hi guys

have been building my x6 squared and are now at the stage to set the antisquat. Whilst building the car and following the Big E's oz set up have come to the stage where as using the shims supplied in the kit to get the rear wishbones in the right location i think i have none to move the antisquat up or down. Have i done something really blond whilst building the rear of the car or just bolting the the toe in plate to the chassis give the correct anti squat?

Car will be bit of mongral on the shocks as will be using losi pistons inside them doe sthat make them any better than keeping the ae pistions in or buying complete losi shocks as the team in the UK seem to use them only???

Apart from that the car seems to go together very well and cannot wait to try it out once back in the UK and can get to race it. Also is there a better way of securing the battery brace down than the 4x1" long screws provided.

Many thanks

I think Chazz had a press release a while back when he realised that some kits had the shims missing, though you can space it with anything you like. That said if you're in the UK we usually run it with zero washers anyway so not a massive problem.

No problem running Losi pistons in the AE shocks, if you've not got Losi shocks that's the next best option.

DMS makes those very nice antisquat shimz. They are easy to remove and install.

Oh yes I really should have mentioned that, it's common for people to change out to those anyway as much easier to install and you can see which one is which from the number of notches on it.

With the DMS shimz, all you have to do is back out the two screws and the shim is slotted to wrap around the screw. Much easier and faster to change. As said above, they have holes drilled in them so you know how much antisquat you are adding.
