I just got a Nitro Racer 2 in a trade. I found a set of 9 rollcenter plates. 3 @ front, center & rear. The Racer 2 has one each as the stock set-up. Should I add one set of plates or more?
Also anyone have basic front-end tips?
Caster, camber suggestions.
Also HPI lists part # A209 sway bar set
Where, or how do you mount the front sway bar on Racer 2?
I have a NMT, RS4 2, RS4 Super & I can see how to mount the front sway bar, but I can't see it on the Racer 2
Thanks in advance

My Racer 2 is set up with foams.
1 degree front toe in
1.5 degrees neg front camber
2 degrees neg rear camber

If you run rubber tires take 1 degree neg camber off all 4 corners.

These are basic #s that would work for most cars. And need to be fine tuned.

I have a set of Trinity TRC purple foams heading my way, I will make a few adjustments.
Anything on the rollplates & the Racer 2?

Only one set of plates.

Also look at HPI's Diff spring kit. You can use that instead of diff grease. It keeps the rotating mass of the drivetrain down while giving it the same effect.

Also - Look at getting linear springs. My HPI Progressive springs went bad after about a year of usage.

Yes, I use Sorex 36R and Sorex 32R tires. I used the 32's as it started to cool down over the summer. No, i am not Troy L. from HPI.
