I've seen no gain by trying to center the servo or move the location, just made for more headaches.. lol.. I just kept it simple

No I mean, Du-bro offers this center point linkage kit used normally for planes. That puts the linkages right on the same plane on the servo saver. Used to use in 1/12th, just retapped the holes. Supposed to give better ackerman than having offset linkages from one another.

Raptor setup
Sounds like a good first outing!!!
I use the Assoc. 12L4 stearing blocks. You can cut the tires down to 1.100" then. In the rear, we have been testing pod plates with another set of bushing holes. They are .08" lower. So far great results! You can cut the rears to 1.200". The pod plates end up looking like a figure "8" with the "stock" hole and the new hole. You can run iether location. Body wise, you can get the Parma body to fit. You have to make sure all the electronics are postioned to clear, but it fits. I ran it with the servo upfront and it worked well. BRP also has a GTP body that fits very well. You can add the big wing to that also. Tire wise, BRP now has new rear rims that are wider and completely support the foam. A big improvement! I run 2xpink rears and "soft" blue fronts. That combo has LOTS of stearing! You can order them through BRP. I also added a .005" stainless shim under the outside 1/2 of the kingpin nut to add camber to the front. I have approx. 1 1/2* per side. If you have anyother questions feel free to ask.

I used some stainless steel shim stock. You can also cut up feeler guages.

Looks great. It's no biggie but if you flip the front suspension plate over you can use the front c'sunk holes for your front body mounts and the other ones to mount a Futaba S9650 servo.

Looking GOOD! That is correct on the front servo plate...the countersunk holes should be on the bottom...

With all the mini races coming up, I thought I'd bring this thread back up!!
I'll post a few pics of some new tweeks and set ups we've been testing for the up coming events

Tip:
"B-Fast" has a diff kit that works really well They're known for "off-road" diff kits, but the rings we use of the BRP is the same as a few off-road cars. So I talked with Fred and he came up with a nice kit.

castor
The front plate was machined and the servo sits on the main chassis. The front plate was then shimmed to give the front 4* of castor for better turn in.

Pics of ECC car :)
Hey guys,
To answere all the PM's about set ups, I decided to post a few pics to make it easier!
I ran a Parma mini speed 8 body with a BRP "BFW" attached
With the Robotronics motor I ran a 17-49 with 1.27" rear tires.
4* castor and 1/2* camber with .018" springs.
25wt. oil with an olive center spring.
20,000 wt. lube in the dampner tube.
red side springs, approx. .02" play (springs off of bottom plate).
2.5mm ride height front and rear with .03" droop in the rear and .01" in the front.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
