should be 3degrees inboard tow and 0 degrees on the hub. thats perfect for indoor clay. make sure you run the right tires. check what the fast guys are running. and make sure your toe and camber are set properly (one of the biggest issues with RTR cars)

Oh and silver fronts steered more on my car 99% of the time.
interesting. thanks for the info, Bob

This whole weight situation has me slightly confused.

I have the FT 1/4 weights and the rear triangles (behind the esc, and behind the rx) are too small. Are there other weights everyone uses?

Stand the weights up in the middle of the chassis against the straight line where the battery is.

TOP makes some nice weights. 10g and 5g sizes.

I really hope the B/T5 have movable weight locations. Its nice to be able to go to a 'calmer' front tire design, and add weight to regain the steering...

Keep us up to date Matt, I'm bummed I wasn't able to make it out there this year. Growing up sucks sometimes. Haha.

I'm sure I'll get to check the BB's out in person at the Jconcepts race here next month.
