Thanks for the help John...the spur I'm running actually is a Kimbrough.
Got the remaining electronics installed last night...I will follow with a pic. Using the Manutech ride height shims, and Kevlar bumper with CRC foam.
So...I am having issues getting turning radius the same R & L and noticed that my camber is a full 1+ deg more on one side (2.0 and 3.0). I dont see any other way to adjust other then shim the lower "front end riser" plate at the screws between plate and chassis...is this correct? I wonder why one side turned out steeper then the other if this is the case?
To CRC...why nothing on setup or adjustment at the end of the manual?? There's talk about later adjustment that never gets covered. Instructions are good...but a very important section to really reduce frustration and enjoy dialing is missing.

When you turn the ball counter clock wise it will decrease the camber.

New to pan cars here. I have a TC and setup station for it. How do I know how much camber & toe I have in my Gen-X10? Do I need a camber gauge like I used for offroad? How about toe? Thanks and feel free to laugh at my ignorance

I went to the track last weekend to help my dad sorte out his new CRC 10th scale car and made a few laps with it and man it seems pretty good for being right out of the box. I think I'm gonna pick one up this week also.
I was wondering does anyone have a good set up for the front end for carpet? I set his car up at like 3.5mm ride height and cut the tires down some to get rid of the traction rolls then it seemed pretty good but I'm sure there is more in it yet.
Thanks

Without spending a lot of money, just making sure your front wheels are parallel to the lines on a setup board will suffice. That will provide 0 degrees of toe...my starting point for all race cars.
And I just returned to pan cars after a long hiatus. Was totally into TC; but, the rubber tires issues have become daunting (and expensive).

Yes, a cheap camber gauge will suffice. Try -1 degree for a start. I am usually between -1 and -1.5.

I have everything on my X 10 front end set in the mid positions. Two shims behind the upper arm and one in front.
Am running the Protoform Alfa Sophia body which seems to have an advantage over the Corvette for down force in fast sweeper corners.

So you like the Alfa over the Saleen even?

2. Looks like a brushless motor from eXpress Motorsports.

In front of the ESC is a "super capacitor" for the Speed Pasion V1.1 speed control. Speed control is a bit larger then my LRP so I had to seperate the capaciror and extend the wire a bit from where I ran on my 007.
Plenty of room on this chassis to spread things out. Sitting just like it is without adding any weight, I'm within 1 oz of balance (needs 1 oz on R side). I moved the electronics around several times and this was the best scenario for adding the least weight to any one side.

The motor is the new Trinity 17.5 BL--Jim Dieter version. There a little hard to find still...Got mine here.

I'm getting into a class in my local area that runs the Orion 2400 lipo & Novak 17.5 exclusively. Just trying to get a feel for things while I build my car. Thanks

I see your running lipo, what rollout are you running and what type of track are you running it on? You say your 1oz from balance but what is the total weight right now? Have you considered adding the Losi weighted lipo tray?
