i was wondering if anyone has messed around with the track width of the car i.e. adding or removing shims on the axle between the wheel hex and the wheel..... does a wider car equal more stability? does a wider rear end relitive to the front yeild more overall steering? thanks........

Here is Dan Gomez's base set-up for carpet that a few asked for.....

Those that are running Mod, with foam tires on carpet, give Andy Moore's Cleveland setup a try that was posted last week. I ran it last Saturday and the car AWESOME. The setup I was running was real close except the roll center settings. Those made a big difference as my car had TONS of corner speed.
The only problem I had was all the other cars in the track had to slow down for some corners and I kept rear ending them when I was lapping. Even a sweeper at the end of the straight that everyone else was slowing for I was taking at full tilt

take care

Wider rear: usually more steering, more reactive.

I tend to think making the car wider all around frees it up, but I can't confirm that for sure.

Just out of curiosity...why such a high roll center? Isn't 5mm just a bit too much?

Yes I have a little. I even stopped using the stock clamp on hex and just use a Associated hex. They are thicker and don't require any shims to make it wide. I does seem to free it up a little. Good for carpet.

How much do you want for the Team Bomber Shaft?

5mm would be too high. The roll center is actually .5mm or 1/2 mm using the thick chassis. So if you have the stock chassis use 1mm to make op for the chassis thickness difference. I thought I wrote .5 on the sheet, maybe when tres retyped it he forgot the decimal point.
On the subject of wider, you'll notice my setup says Gas hubs. I use the gas hubs because they are wider than the Aluminum ones and allow more contact with the rim. I also use 1 thick shim athe the wheel to add even more width.
