On that setup sheet it says 0.5 toe, is that toe in or toe out?

Hi, Ronald.
Which do you use hi-traction or BD5W(normal) chassis?
I think Indoor carpet tracks are almost high grip and hi-traction chassis is too much roles. How do you cope with that situation?

interesting, but I suppose if you don't crash, then the setup station is not required.

Can you tell me your procedure when building a new car?

eg. like.....do you use a tweak station, corner weights, left/right balancing....

R.Völker

I did 2 races this indoor season with the WR chassis and worked well too, but traction wasnt that high there.
I think if traction increase (races like ETS, LRP TCM etc. has always high grip due toa 3 days event with many entries), I would recommend WS chassis.
It feels easier to drive with a bit more understeering than WR, but its not that WR never works on carpet... opposite on asphalt, if WR chassis works well does not mean WS is half a second off...

R.Völker

I just make sure the car is straight after building checking this on a flat setup board,glass board or 2 flat blocks. After I finished I check left/right balance by lifting the car below the rear and front shock tower on the same time to see if it falls more into one side and then I put weights into the car were needed or move the electronics a bit. Normally I put also weight into the bumper (10-20g), car is feeling more smooth.
I think you discussed this here before with the HUDY tool? couple of pages before...


and in case I crash I also check if the car is still straight,sometimes nothing is bend but not straight because some aluminium parts just moved a bit without beeing bent...

Ronald, do you usually use the 8mm steering center link? Also I ask this on last page regarding zero rebound shock, do you drill a hole on the top shock shaft to get zero rebound. I always see your car is using the longer rear stabilizer, what difference does it make compare to the stock one?

Thanks.

According to Umino, the longer 'SD' style sway bar is a bit softer initially, and adjusts better to changes in surface condition, making it easier when setting up the car..
