Alex Racing Barracuda R2 & R3
Hi all
Im having problems getting front and rear knuckles (UK importer is waiting for a delivery and speedtech are showing out of stock)
Are there any others that might fit?
Thanks
Tim

hmmmm... I'd swear there weren't any spacers in them, but I wasn't specifically looking for them either... I'll redo them and see...
Thanks!

I actually bought all of my Alex cars and parts from a guy in Atlanta, so the shocks were already built, I just dumped the oil, put the bleeder caps on, and then refilled them...didn't notice if there were spacers in there or not... I've got some rocket parts I need to machine up now, when I'm done I'll pull the shocks apart again and take a look at them a little closer...
Thanks for the input...

Just got back from the carpet track... car is WAY better than last time... I converted it to the R3, wound up going to 60wt in the front, White springs on front and Red on rear. I'm running CRC orange/red's up front, and Jaco Purples in the rear.
I found I couldn't get more than about 3.5mm in ride height in the front... droop screws were worthless... I wound up moving the shock mounting point on the bottom to the inside hole, and Man, after all those changes, it's really come around... now if I can drive it to it's potential, I should do well... Only broke one steering arm today...

My car is a missile currently, just need the setup taming so i can lay the power down even more.

Hey Guys... are the steering arms on these things notoriously brittle, or am I just that big of a hack....actually, I think it's both... I'm very new to TC's, and road course in general, being maily an oval guy (did myself a diservice by sticking to oval)
I clip the corners quite a bit, but it seems like just tagging the corner lightly and the steering arm breaks! I broke 2 of them last weekend, and 4 tonight...

The hard material arms are more brittle compared to the
regular material especially in colder weather. I would try
switching to the regular arms.

Compared to my xray i prefer it, i think i had more transmission loss on the xray though, but it was easy to drive.
The thing with the xray is the easy to change differential tensions that i like.
On the barracuda i would redesign the E-Clips holding the outer hinge pins on.
