It depends if you want more inital steering or more mid corner steering.

Positive 0.5 to 1 will give more inital steering less mid corner \ /

Level,flat or | | balanced

Negative -0.5 will give more mid corner steering less inital / \

High speed track I would say try toe out (positive) first

Cyclone racers I have a quick question, I am having problems with my rear tires wearing on the outside even with a 2.5 neg camber the tires still wear faster on the outside than the inside, on most of the TC cars I have race the wear is on the inside but the Cyclone wear on the outside, is there anyone that is having this wear problem? and if so what did you do to get it wearing on the inside? thank you.

Mine in the rear seem to be doing the same thing. I'll have to keep a closer eye on it.

I'm assuming this is with foams....I've used as much as 3-3.5 negative on the camber to keep the tires square.

I was thinking the same but with all that camber what do you think will happen to the handling of the car? I am using the BMI chassis I am thinking if that has anything to do with the issue at hand because before I went to the BMI chassis I didn't have that problem.

Hi Guys
I ran the Clone for the 1st time at the weekend in the KO in the UK. What a car, it goes exactly where you want it to go. I made 7th in the A, and came 8th overall 'AWSOME CAR'. Thanks to Stew Knoble, Elliott Harper and Paul Upton for the setup.
Cheers Malc TCCFM

No it doesn't hinder the performance at all. In fact the tires coning hinders the car much more.


Uusally you get that type of wear beacuse there is some play in the bearings (Normal). When you set the car up statically the camber is 2 or 2.5...but when the car is running and the play in the bearings comes into play you can have as little as maybe 1-1.5 neg camber.

mine cone slighthy at 2.5 camber but our track is super tight and the rear is sliding around most of the corners I just retrue the tires after every 2 runs to keep them square

I thind it matters more on the track surface and layout more that anything else. because when i ran on a bigger track there was more coning but there was alot of high speed sweepers putting alot of side load on the tires and makin them roll over and compress

Big difference from our previous car eh Malc???? It's staggering how much simpler it is to our old cars and yet it performs soo much better .
