Here’s my set up from this last weekend car was really well but wouldn’t suggest for mod!! If you would like to use this in mod or if you use this set up and its too loose you might want to try:
-Take the shims out from under the toe blocks
-Take 1mm out from under the inner camber links
-Add more toe in the rear like 2.0* or stock 3.0*
-If you try this set up it should be really good for either 19 or stock but if you have to use the break at all reduce the droop a lot like only 7.0mm over ride height in the front and 2.0mm-2.5mm over ride height in the rear HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!

Any one know if the HB Cyclone suspension brackets work on the S400...I'd like to try using 2 to 2.5 rear toe, but the parts have to come in yet to try different brackets...It seems like the HPI Pro4 or Cyclone will work...if any one has them please try them and let us know if they work or not...thx

IIRC, the 3.0 is very similar to a Tamiya 1D, and the 2.0 close to the 1B, and the 0.0 is the same as the 1XB. As a 1.0 bracket use the 1X.
This means you can use the brackets to vary toe, and track width....
the whole range of blocks go (widest to narrowest)
1E, 1D, 1C, 1B, 1A, 1X, 1XA, 1XB, 1XC, 1XD
with 0.5deg toe between each block.
In response to the previous question, for 2.5deg try 1C/0.0 or 3.0/1XA, and for 2deg try 1B/0.0 or 3.0/1X for 2deg.
N.B. Changing the rear block will narrow the rear of the car, changing the front will widen it.

Tamiya ones for the 415 do.. Nathan Parker shoudl be able to confirm this (I believe the screw hole spacing is the same). Nathan asked me the other week about them, and I mentioned the brackets look very similar to the 415 ones... guess what, they are
