By my calculations, you need the 1mm spacer on the block to get the standard position.

Default Camber link mount on 3-4 caster blocks

sosidge, newracer;

Thanks guys,

I still havent broken anything on my car yet. That's after 6 months of racing ALMOST every weekend.

I would like to run with the 2 deg kick-up and still have 5-6 degs of total caster, so the 3-4 deg blocks sound just right. Any advantages/Disadv. to using the Graphite blocks instead of the plastic ones.

Thanks again,

go for the graphite composite C hub. i got the pastic version when it was released and somehow, the figure C opens up over time so the front knuckles would have an up-down slop, affecting your ride height. i switched to the graphite version and problem solved. the graphite also further reduces front end flex and lessens the chance of stripping the grab screw for the hinge pin.

Yep, it does happen. My suggestion, get the spur gear/pulley combo made by Cross Racing!! No problems!!

There is a hole on the spur gear nut...place your 2mm hex wrench in it and use it to tighten the nut.

Even the the Cross spur gear adapter is easy to use..it is also twice as heavy as the HPI spur gear adapter. Which will slow down your acceleration slightly.

Put a Allen wrench in the hole on the nut and crank that sucker down tight. NEVER not once had mine come loose. Use the biggest allen that will fit in the hole so you don't bend it when tightening/loosening.

Thanks
YES! This is a great Stock setup. Stock motors don't really push the chassis to the limit so it would be really easy to drive. Try a 36t pinion and a 100T spur to start. I use a Fantom P2K. Good motor. Already tuned and stuff. I haven't seen a Trinity Monster Stock go yet. I buy most of my esc's of the net. I alway get novak though. They have an awesome support system. If it blows up in 120 days or something liek that they replace it. I just send my old Cyclone back once a year to get refurbished with new fets and all that good stuff. It's like a tune up. I heard the New Novak GT7 was a great ESC. Very smooth. Have fun man. If ya wanted to look at fantom Stock Motors just check out this website. You can buy the motors from them too. www.fantom-motors.com

I like my roll centers as they are now and would like to duplicate the position if I go to the 3 & 4 deg caster blocks.

Thanks,
I used 2 degrees of kickup. If it seems a bit touchy just go back to the 6 degree blocks. I did this every once in a while. I think I put one spacer under the camber link. I haven't really looked at my car for a long time. Been running my XXX-S. I think you can just try and get it to be around the same height as the reg. caster blocks. That's kind of what I did. You just have to play with it a bit.

Gotta agree there, just crank it! I've used mine since they were first released and never had it come loose...

Cheers
