doesnt make sense. if he was changing the roll center then hed show a picture of the roll center mount with 1mm shim underneath it to raise the front roll center. but by raising the front roll center, you would decrease rear traction by increasing front traction. the shim is placed on the hub for the wheel after the bearing. i believe the earlier explanation is correct, by widening the front of the car without sacrificing the structures strength and increasing rear traction by decreasing front traction. not sure exactly, i think we should just ask salven.. LOL

Hey all I'm new to these forums and 1/8 scale racing. I just finished building a new 960 and have a question. I'm trying to fit a Protoform Lola body to my car and the edges of the front bumper stick out or push the front sides of body outward. I noticed that there are measurement like markings on the edges of the bumper. Are they actually used for anything or is that what you use to trim each side evenly? I didn't want to cut the edges off if I don't need to to.
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

With the overall rigidity increased I found the suspension adjustments I made a bit more significant on track versus the original kit chassis. Strangely enough, both the LCG chassis and the original chassis were not 100% flat on my HUDY board out of the bag , but it was the case for both. I keep the original kit chassis as a backup. Hope this helps.
