Can't thank you enough for staying late and letting me get my first run in
Good News: Dave has my car pretty dialed
Bad News: I cant blame the car for the crashing and crappy lap times
I should be there Sunday to help peel the paint off the rails

The stainless screws from RCScrewz are the first thing I bought for my 10. Best investment ever. Those ali srews are light, but only last a few rebuilds before they're trashed. I don't have the patience to be careful with screws!

I'm building my new CRC GenX10 LE. I ran the original GenX10 for a couple of years and switched to an Xray X10 Link. I had to change numerous things on the XRAY to be competitive due to a lack of support for this car. It was a mistake to change.
I'm glad to be back. The LE seems to be an improvement over the original as far as assembly and simplicity is concerned. It will probably be an improvement on the track as well.
Like Pan Car Racing? - live in Ontario? - Check Out LOU's Speedway near London - lots of Pan Car Racing here.

Thanks for the kind words. It's a pleasure and an honor to have you back in a CRC ride. When I heard you switched brands, I was really bumming thinking we let you down. If you (or any other racers with CRC products) need any assitance with your new LE, pop us an e-mail or call.
We want to get up to Lou's and race with you guys, please keep us posted if you have any trophy or big races this season.
Peace,
Frank

I'll post some of the SCAR / WGT Challenge Dates soon. I picked up a GenXL 12th Scale as well to go along with my BattleAxe. Back to all CRC Cars.
10th Scale Pan Racing is the biggest class at Lou's Speedway Wednesday Night Races. We're running Circuit and Oval Races on the same night. SCAR Circuit is the biggest Road Course Class and SCAR Oval is the biggest Oval Class on weeknights. 12th Scale is also making a comeback.
SCAR (25.5 Novak Motor / Havoc 2S Sport ESC / Orion 2400 Battery / Spec WGT Tires / HPI 4 Passenger Body) will be running at the Canadian Nationals along with World GT 17.5 Single Cell Open ESC in January in Welland.
I really like the hardware with the new GENX10 LE as well as your shock.
Talk to you soon.

Ackerman
Ackerman geometry is derived from the tie rods being connected inward from the pivot point of the steering knuckles. CRC offers three options on the steering knuckle arms for Ackerman effect; and, TorroRosso has his tie rods connected at the inner hole making for plenty of Ackerman.
However, I do agree with you that tie-rods being setup flat is not necessarily desirable.

I often setup the tie rods to go slightly downward from the servo saver attachment point towards the steering knuckle arms. I usually like my on-power and off-power toe to be the same (i.e. zero) for a fast flowing track. Do like flat tie rods to create toe-out on a really tight track.

You're happy...We're happy (to help)!

Is there any thread/web page that anyone is aware of that
has a detailed description of servo placement vs tie rod angle/placement
and how it effects ackerman and/or tow (and what it will do to the car)?
Thanks

You should take a look at the Hudy setup book. Im shure, there is something about Ackermann in it.
If that's not enough, read Allan Staniforth's "Competition car suspension". There are a few pages about Ackerman.
