Jason,
Mike I. and Mike M. will be running their cars tonight. They are very happy with the build of their cars and I'm sure they will lower the track record with them. I wish I could be there but I have to leave for a race in Maryland this afternoon.

Dave

There is no tweak to set. The only things that tweak the car is a broken part or collapsed front spring. The car is designed to self allign and it doesnt get knocked out of adjustment.

While my car is quite tuned, I do still have a small problem on handeling.

In 1 or 2 corner, which is right after short straight which I apply full throttle less than a sec and brake right away, the front of car looks like turn-stuck-turn-stuck before it hit apex. If I leave the throttle earlier, don't apply brake but let the car free roll into corner, no such problem, but slower.

I recall Adrian or Jason explain the physics about it but I can't find it anymore. I think it's something to do with too much weight transfer to front causing front refuse to roll, but I'm not sure as I can't find the post. How should I change setting to fix the problem? Less rear droop to limit weight transfer?

Thanks.

Hi Jason - how did you guys get a servo that is laid flat to fit behind the right suspension arm? I am running into a problem with the servo ear behind the right side suspendsion arm. It looks like I will need to dremel quite a bit of the lower suspension arm to get it to clear the screw holding the servo ear in place?

Previous 1/12th's I shoo goo'd the servo in place but I'm trying to stay with your awesome servo mounts.

Thanks!
-Rich

I only use 1 screw on each servo mount to hold the mounts to the chassis. The rearward set of holes is for mounting the servo flat. You will need to run the ballstud on the front of the servo saver for this. I use the middle hole on the servo saver and medium ball studs on the spindles to take alot of the bump toe in out of the geometry.

oh yeah,you will also be using the forward mounting hole in the servo mounts. I just finished mounting my electronics on my mod carpet car with the servo flat. There is a ton of room behind the arm with it like this and the geometry is just right
