Anybody know the part number for those little hollow aluminum doodads that go on the end of the hinge pins and into the support block? I'd like to have a couple spares in case I drop one in the parking lot...

Ok here is another question, what is the effect of changing from 4*castor to a 2*castor

Thanks, Charles

My take on this is that going to 2 degrees castor will increase the turn-in of the car and reduce on-power steering.

Depends on a couple of things.
What motor? (ROAR, Quad mag, Monster, p2k2 etc)
What size is the track? (mainly straight length)

Rule of thumb is you want the motor topping out roughly 2/3rds to 3/4rs down the length of the longest straight.
Best advice is go to a local track, and ask people there what they run.
Personally I always err a little on the cautious side to begin with, so if some suggests (for example) and FDR of 7.5, i'll go around 7.8 to start, then work my way up. (remember, the lower the FDR, the higher the top speed/lower the acceleration)

Does the 415MSX2 come with a center locked pulley or with a center oneway?
