Yes, we have this bumper. It's MORE DURABLE


Thanks and regards

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 thought I saw it at one point, but I can't find it now. Can anyone link me to Max's recent Carpet Nats set up for the LE?

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?

Is your droop set? Are your front tires the same as your rear? Is your chassis flat? When's the last time you checked your football? Sometimes they stick and you will get an inconsistent ride height

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

Hey Tim,

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.

Check camber with the car fully loaded and ready to run on your set-up board. This method ensures that all your settings are true based on how the car will sit under race conditions.

Some times you need more droop. Get the CRC shaft extender.It works great and will give you more droop. I tried the longer plastic ball cup part but that did not do the trick.

OK thanks.

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?

Correct. Get the car race ready, and then push down on the chassis and release to get the car to sit "neutral". I usually just push down in the middle of the car.
