Ling way behind the curve here. Jacinda is well on her way, she is already making the neighbor boy cry when she spanks him with her 04.
Going to try for rookie honors at TCS up here this year. I'll have to ask Fred if there is any conflict of interest here since Dad is TRF hmmmmm

I take that back, I did catch my youngest using the 3PK with attenna extended as a sword to go after the neighbor...

I hear helicopters are more forgiving, NOT! Why did you have to go 3D, the 2D road racing isn't good enough for you?

Neil Rabara

Currently in TX. Leaving for the sandbox next month. Should be a good tour of duty, except for the sand, the camels, the heat, the people, and no RC racing. If we are lucky, our hunting should be interesting.

I'd love to. There are a few aussies I met in Japan that are making the trip from down under. Unfortunately, I'll be going to a far away land to meet exotic and interesting people, and persuade them. I don't think Uncle Sam will forgive me for leaving. Perhaps when I return, I'll come visit Cali for some much needed racing.

I posted a question regarding the MS World Champion parts set but didnt get the response I was hoping I could get to help me fully understand. Hopefully this time somebody kind enough with the experience can kindly explain in detail the suspension blocks with 1XA, 1XB, 1XC & 1XD.

I know this blocks are narrower than the A blocks from the std MS kit. I also know that you could adjust the in board toe of the front suspension but what I don't know are the effects. Do you use the X blocks in conjunction with the A block for the front? What sus. block configurations do you guys use?

To answer your question about the Worlds Blocks. The blocks still change the toe in in .5 degree incriments, 1XA would be the widest in the worlds kit, 1 step narrower than the 1X block in the MS. 1XD is the narrowest.

You can add sweep to the front end by using a 1A bridge and a 1D block in front, or say a flipped 1XD and a 1XA in front would give the same amount of sweep, but would narrow the car.

Hey Neil, stay safe in the sandbox man!

Not fair... I think Ling gave the wrong advise of running over my little one. I should be training here to race, not to be the race course... (Ling's intentions are becoming clear now... hmm... )

Are there any age restrictions at TCS? We'll try to beat Christian's age by half... say 6 yrs old female TL01 spec champ? Start small first then go for the biggie...

Randy Caster: Thank you for your response, it was most helpful. However I still have three more questions to ask you.

1. Do I use 2mm or 3mm spacers if I flip the the X blocks of the front suspension?

2. What are the effects if I use the widest sweep (1XD & 1XA) compared to a narrow (1XD & 1XC) for the front suspension?

3. I understand if you flip the front blocks, it gives you a lower roll center. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Once again thank you for taking time to answer my questions. You truly are an asset to this thread. Keep up the good work!

If you flip the new narrow blocks a 3mm shim is needed to get the stock RC, a 2mm shim would lower the arms 1mm for low RC.

Narrow blocks will be quicker reacting, but not as stable as wider blocks, just depends on what you are looking for when you decide what to run.

Can anyone make a digital copy of the instructions of the MS World Champion parts and publish it here???
