Tamiya TB Evo 6
#2462
Thanks..... I feel that the high grip surfaces slow my car down to a crawl at three degree rear toe....
Not quite, but on high grip carpet or asphalt .5 degrees rear toe works great. Never tried 0 degrees but will do so just to see how it feels compared to .5 degrees.
If conditions change and the car loosens up a bit I first experiment with different rear wings. This is on a GT10 or USGT body where a low or high down force wing can give just the right amount of rear stability and maintain that nice rotation through the turns that shaft drive cars seem to deliver. I usually keep around 4-5 different wings of varying DF. I also run a ball diff which allows for a wide variety of tightness to get that rear end working to perfection.

Help please.
Want to convert an Exo6 from 64 to 48 pitch gearing, who makes a 48 pitch spur for the evo6, and where to start on spur pinion for 17.5 blinky, For Tamiya track.

I use 66 or 60 teeth Robinson Racing for small tracks. FDR really depends of track and rules. On small ones I use 4.5-5.0 FDR on big one less than 4. In our blinky mode timing on the motor could be changed.

Like I suspected, the suspension always added another 0.5 to 1 degree toe in the rear even with the same arm mounts front and rear... Most stock setups with 2 degrees were actually 3 degrees or more, scrubbing speed, etc....

What shock towers are you using with them?

You can use either the SMJ short springs, progressive, or the Xray springs, both the linear and progressive. I use progressives in the front and linear in the back. I play around with both kinds and sometimes run both brands on the car (SMJ front/ Xray rear) All depends on grip levels of the track.
