Guys, what effect would running 1B (FF)/ 1C (FR) have on the car?

Thard's site (the link I gave previously) gives a pretty good explanation of the differences between the blocks. Basically there is a 0.5 degree difference between each block. So the narrowest is XD and XC is wider by 0.5 degree (then XB is 0.5 deg wider again, then XA, X, A, B, C, D, E and F).

If you want to know what each setting change does to the car's handling, check this: http://www.thard.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32

Yeh you'd think so but it's not. In fact I'm tempted to try 1.5 deg...

Default Split Blocks

Never mind, but my anti-dive wasn't what I thought it was.

Any of you TRF gurus know where I can get a TRF511? The offroad guys aren't as used to tamiya as us - in true form, almost everywhere is sold out. I know there were some secret squirrel places we used to source 416's from but I cant remember any of them, have tried Champ (AWOL at the moment), rcmart/model/market. Tower has them but at US$100 more than the HK stores, which is already $130 more than a B44

Edit: pro-shop futaba to the rescue

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the most you would want for arm sweep is .5 mm, or one step between block letters. Any more than that and you will end up with bind issues and weird angels on other parts of the suspension and driveline. I think you are wanting the arms to sweep back, which is the norm, so you would want the wider bridge in the FF and the narrower one in the FR.

Default 416 Upgrades / Hopups

Whats next for the 416.

I see the split blocks are being used by a few over here in Australia now (with no real effect other than bling ).

What do you all think is next?

They will be stronger in a crash and also offer two settings for the price of one regular block.
