Does lowering the arm mounts on the Mi3 (what I usually refer to as lowering the roll center) increase or decrease traction speaking in broad brush terms? It seems to be different for each brand.

Nice. You guys know me too well.

Yes, lowering the suspension blocks will lower the roll center and generally will give you more grip on that end.

guys, what an awesome thread you have put together here.

MASSIVE KUDOS! makes for a fascinating read. thanks.

i'm bordering on the purchas on an mi3, but am concerned
the model i'm buying might have the faulty CVD/blades.
is there a model number that shows the mi3's updated with the fix?
i know i could ring schuie guys after they are broken for a fix,
but knowing which kits have the fix would be a massive timesaver/.

cheers again for all the hard work. schumacher look like a top
company to deal with......looking forward to joining the fray.

I received a kit about 2 weks ago and I have done nearly everything one could to a car that would break the pins and haven't had one go yet. I think the only thing not fixed in the kits available now is the updated hole in the CVD for the pin at the wheel end. I wouldn't worry about it personally!

cool.
i trust you guys are "in the know" about this. mi3 here i come.


PS: AD....do you run a spool at all?

The Mi3 kit comes with a spool. You can check out the Mi3 setup sheets here http://www.racing-cars.com/usa/searc...e1=prodvalue14
Everyone seems to be running spools.

mitch-
If youre talking about ability to break cars, then yes, I am in the know.! lol
I have been running a spool since I got it without any pin problems with my "newer" kit.

However, out track is super low traction carpet (think negative traction almost!) So I have a diff on order as a couple of Shumacher's driver here have had better results with the diff on our track. BUt for the acerage track asphalt or carpet I believe the spol is the way to go.

Is there a part number for just the dogbones or do I have to get the whole assembly? The aluminum ones that is.
Also does anyone know the part # for the plastic cvd's as well as the metal ones?

Sigear....I dont think they make plastic or metal CVD's for these cars anymore.

The old plastic ones were for use with MIP axles. The pin is a slightly diffrent diameter, so not sure it would be a good idea to run them with std axles.

The alloy bone is now available as a seperate part. Not sure of the number though.

be careful. the plastic ones are quite flexible (compared to the plastic ae/irs bones for the tc3, which were pretty sweet). they are also made to the old m.i.p. specs, whereas the new ec/mi3 cvd's have stolen their geometry from the ti.racing counterparts. pm me if you need the details.
