Thamks in advance
It will increase initial turn, and reduce mid corner steerind when you use a front block with less toe in. When you use one with more it will smooth out entry and increase mid corner steering.

The only bad thing with you being a team driver is that you are gonna catch my post count by the end of the year being so helpful....

We got these cars rocking out here bro. Scotty's set up is dialed. All we want to do now is test the new proptoform body and see how it runs on the car. I have been going back and forth with the regular mazda 6 and the AP stratus. The DNA 2 was my body of choice last year but it turns in way too hard with our current set up. I think I'm only going to run 13.5 for the rest of the year. Mod is hit or mis around here.

in mid corner my feel is lose steering !
so i'm also see to body shell , do you have understeering first ,
if not have will change steering parts ,
pump steering , ackerman , F & R drop ,
i'm alway in bump steering shim 1mm , in mid corner Apex don't lose steering feel & can keep use small steering for more turn .
if in hairpin maybe will have max turn only .

setup your car need balance setup start,
can't setup Rear or Front only !
if you Spool , you can try F - kick up ( FF 0.5 FR 1mm or FF FR 1mm ),
Rear downstop more drop ( smaller flow )
...

5 or 6 cell ?

does the brushless motor mount raise the motor or move it forward?
i have a Andy Moore wce with a 13.5 Novak and the motor seems to be sat on the chassis

The motor is in the same place,, The BL motor mount raises the lay shaft 2mm so you have room for a spur that is 4mm larger. They should call it a brushless lay shaft holder thingy

thanks.
does that not stop the heatsink middle chassis sitting square?
is it normal for the motor to be on the chassis?

With the BL mount you use two 2mm shims on the rear balk heads under the rear top plate and it sets flat.
I have two chassis, one is BMI and the motor sits right on the chassis on both of them.
