LOL yeah, when you can get both +1 camber and -1 camber with out changing anything, THAT's when your car is dialed

Maybe Team Associated brings a new Buggy to the Reedy race? Seems like a good place to unveil it and it gives a handful of months til the worlds to get it out to the public etc. Just a thought.

There are pics of it with the body on at redrc.net. Brent also said that it would not be put into production and was built for the worlds track.

Here is question regarding the slop in the front end and setting camber. I've noticed that if i set my camber then wiggle the front end, the camber will be off a degree or two according to the guage. So what i have been doing to try keeping camber consistent is to drop the car, make sure the front wheels are straight then i have pulling in the tops of the wheel towards the center of the car.
Does anyone do it differently or another way that keeps the car set up consistent?

Your doing fine the way your adjusting , excess slop can be made tight.
Suggest using the following parts .
*2 hole 30degree carbon caster block
*carbon ft arms
*new suspension pins if the black coating has been worn off.
*RPM ball cups
*ft wheel hex steering blocks
For the rear
use 1 mm shims for between the rear hub & arm
install grub screws on blue hub
Lots of guys here will tell you slop is not bad & all .
Facts are slop only makes the car more difficult
to stay consistent lap after lap ...
I tell racers a bunch of slop = 1 or 2 mistakes each run .

One of the racers at our local track put some set screws in his rear hubs took out alll the slop for the most part.... The car looked to handle horrible and his times were way worse. Slop is not all bad

So far it seems to be holding its own for Mayfield he is in the mix. The other Ryan looks like he may be having a rough time so far.
