any thoughts???? two other guys at my club, are having the same problem so, its just no me
any help appreciated

My only solution (from other pro 4 racers)....BMP or PRP 3mm chassis and 2.5 upper deck. $125 total......
I ran mine with the front tweak...it is not too horrible at all, just dialed the front shock coil a little to readjust the tweak.

I am Thinking about Buying a Pro-4, Can anybody Explain The Tweak problem Everyone Keeps Talking About? I have heard there is an easy Fix. Some kind Of Modification to The screw Holes In the Top Deck to Eliminate the Problem. I Can't Seem to Find any Information Back on Page 120 or anywhere else.

If your looking for a kick ass setup lets get Eli's aka 1fastdude on here to post his full setup. He helped RobK and I a ton this weekend and both of our cars made vast improvements with his help. His setup works great with foam tires.

Eli said that he needs to find a way to get it posted on here. I think RobK has the full sheet maybe he can post it I just put the parts on and changed things like he suggested to me so i have to go over what I have to get the setup that I ended up with but Eli's car was awesome all weekend just wish I would have talked to him sooner.

Here is what all he gave me:
Set-up : 2mm roll center - .5mm anti squat - 1.5 camber - double pink rear, double pink/orange front - 2.5 arm sweep front - 2.0 rear toe-in - 50 wt. kit shock oil (#3) pistons - pepto front white rear springs (x-ray) 2.5mm chassis BMI.
It's missing a few things, I'll try and get all the info for the sheet.

more....
anymore to that ummmmm..set-up? i don't have a front diff yet so i epoxied the front one-way. so now i got a spool. tried racing with stock one-way on a tight ,bumpy, carpet track. no dice. i TQ'd tho and finished second first time out.
and how do we keep the rear diff tight? it keeps coming loose and unloading.
i also checked out the cool chassis braces. i'm getting some high strength epoxy to lay my own graphite sheets, then CNC them out. what have in mind is a little off-the-wall.

for those who have tweek issues on graphite plate chassis . are you useing the factory screws ? if not they might not have the proper champher. if you are do you tighten the screws in a criss cross pattern like the lug nuts on full size cars ive seen all soorts off tweek issues resolved by correcting these.
