Manutech's lexan bumper is somewhat more durable than CRC's carbon fiber units.
Thanks and regards

Opening up slot in steering block for more clearance
Sorry, I am headed off to Alaska for a vacation. Will try to verbalize mo better...LOL
I was describing slightly increasing the height of the slot opening in the steering block to allow for more up/down movement of the ballstud within that slot. I use an Xacto knife to cut off a small amount of graphite from the top and bottom of the slot.
In an impact, the lack of available up/down movement at that point can contribute to breakage of the steering block.

I am using the Tom Firshing Cleveland US indoor champs setup sheet to set my car up, as a starting point.
I have set the front ride height to 4.2mm.
I have set the rear ride height to 4.2mm.
when I check the ride height in the middle of the chassis, about where the rear battery cover supports are, it measures 2mm. How do I raise this so that it is 4.2mm? I have tried adjusting the threaded shock and that doesn't seem to make a significant change. I have looked at the side springs and can't see that they would change anything.
thanks,
tim

Usually by winding the centre shocks spring tighter but if that isn't working for you, you can undo the eyelet on the end of the shock shaft. What is the length of shock shaft showing?

Usually i check the camber:
Pushing the car until touch car the floor and then leave alone it. In this way i check de camber
But after 42minutes in the track i check diameter of the tyre and is less outside! = positive camber!
How i need to check the camber?
In the air?
In the floor but without pushing the car?
thanks and regards

The ball cup you are using on the shaft comes in two lengths. Check the parts tree that the plastic shock parts come on. Use the longer length ball cup. That will extend the overall length of the shock assembly and raise the car in the center. Easy.

I saw some videos (i only found off-road) and they left the car since some cm on the table.
I think we need to move front part (push down). To set front sring at "0 position" = check camber. Is true?
