The difference in feel should be more obvious if you only shim the front or the rear axle. If you shim both, the car should look and feel faster and more agile without having a speed change greater than 50 thousands a lap (my experience).

Wheel shims not being a smart @$$ but thats what they are called I think we got them from rsd I just tried those on the actual axil as a quick adjustment to see what it did id use smaller metalic ones if I were tobuse them on them bulkhead with the toe blocks
So your saying that if I shim out my entire car 1mm per side itll go faster because its nimbler?

Making the car wider does not make it more nimble. Wide front track vs rear will increase lateral grip/increase steering. Making the front narrower vs rear will take some steering away/less lateral grip. Track width will also change roll center so take that into account when changing width. A wide track lowers roll center and narrow raises roll center. This is the primary reason I make the car wider for carpet because you want a low roll center in high traction conditions to avoid rolling over in the turns. I know this may sound counter intuitive but it does work.

which is why the guy said you could do it on the arm mounts but i dont know how many of those plastics shims you can put inbetween the arms and the bulkhead before it becomes unstable maybe 2mm worth you might have to use a longer screw im talking about the toe block shims i have a whole bunch and they are in a good size for it or an oval shaped one with the hole on one end

This might be a little off topic but is there any recommendations for electronics. I'm broke trying to build this car lol. I got lucky and Ron Schuur is hooking me up with a fresh motor for Blinky. What kinda esc can I get at a decent price that's roar legal and has a program card system. And how about a servo? And last but not least I know battery will hit the pockets but everyone at my track runs roar legal 7000nah 100c. Any suggestions? This is literally my first car build and could use any help. And Johnson I'm starting out with the set up you recommend thanks again.
