Has anyone figured out how to use the 4mm trailing without binding the bearings? I think srs has enough bite that I want the 4mm to smooth the car out.

Glue the inserts in the spindle, remove the inner spacer, use a 3x14 grub screw red loctited into the axle, use a nylock flanged nut and gently tighten until no play, no further.

You should really try supersoft (or soft even) Typos! They are awesome!
Plus side = $20 premounts at amain!

I am running on a low bite track running 8.5. I am on m3 holeshots rear and rips in front. The track is hard packed but creates alot of dust in certain areas. I am running this setup http://www.petitrc.com/setup/associa...0222/setup.jpg My issue is that I am loose at corner exit. I have tried the slipper loose and helps but not able to clear the triple at that setting. Is there anything that you can see that might help with loose off. I know you are all gonna say throttle lol. I have to 1/12 scale throttle it to make it not slip out.

Default Servo Horn Help Please

Need a 23T servo horn(with offset) that will take an associated b5m ball stud. The standard J associated horn(no offset) does not clear the servo. I have the shorter ft gold ball studs but it still hits the servo when turning. Need a horn with an offset that will take an associated ball stud. TLR horns will not take the associated ball studs. Could not find a plastic horn with an offset in my search. I assume a plastic horn will allow me to create my own threads when I screw in the b5m ball stud. Thanks

Try 3mm trail with caster centered,1mm akerman,front camber link long(inside on tower outside on caster), 1.5 camber,and run rear hubs in back position. This helped my car keep good on power steering. Also try to square up for your triple before getting on the throttle too much. Maybe a middle line instead of inside.I know this leaves the door open but so does spinning out or casing the triple.

Can you snap a picture? Something doesn't sound right there. I'm using the stock set-up and it clears perfectly.

I ran into this problem at first also the fix was to remove the spacers from the servo mount. After I removed the little black spacers between the servo and the mounts no more hitting. Try that and see if it works.

I am trying to get my car down to a race weight of 1500 grams. I am at 1640 with a shorty battery, titanium screws and turnbuckles.

Can you guys that are at 1500 grams or lower please post your parts list?
