I use the PL bulldog on my 22's and it works and looks great. Not a big cab forward design fan, but it does work and fit well.

Our cars were carrying the front wheels down the straight this past weekend a bit so aero wasn't a factor either way. lol

Amain has the 2.0 front casters for those wanting to convert.

Anyone had the front arms binding. I can take the shocks off and flip the car and the arms stay down. I have sanded the inside of the arms thinking that was it but it wasn't. Any suggestions.

I have not had this problem but check hinge pins could be bent. Or maybe run a reamer thru arms. And you can try some light oil on pin.

I would check the set screws that hold the suspension pins in place. Use a little thread lock on them and only screw them in till you feel a little resistance, that's when it starts to contact the pins. If they are over tightened they can cause the arms to bind a bit.

Our 1.0 22 worked great in practice saturday, except...

I had a tuff time getting them to come down the straight without being very easy on the throttle. The car wanted to keep turning, leaving a hard right hander, but once straight it would wheelie in the middle of the straight. Odd.

Maybe this is where the 2.0 parts come in? Or are you guys using different camber links, or something else to help?

I have about 95% of the Latest 1.0 set up(Dustins) on the cars, other then 30 wt rear oil.


I do have everything but the castor blocks for the 2.0 conversion. But at the track the guys with 2.0's looked to have too much roll in back, lifting the inside front tire in hard turns.
Lap times were pretty close but I think there is another .3-.5 each lap if I can get this better.

A little reading has led me to believe the tranny 1mm lift may do the trick?


Hmmmm

I am just about to order "the conversion kit" for 2.0. Those of you who are already there, did you use the part 234003 to hold the front spindle in place, or can I re-use the odd looking screws that were included in the 1.0 kit...?

Thanks!

I have been reading your posts and thinking that this has to be Lee lol. I took a break my son broke his foot and was in a boot for 7 weeks. I raced one night with out him and he had a death stare when I got home. He is doing club soccer now so that takes up time and $. I just ordered two sets of the 2.0 stuff to upgrade my 22 1.0. What set up are you using and how well is it handelling?
