Ran on a small, outdoor track yesterday. Very Loose and Rutted. Ran Evans setup, with the 4.5 LRC Toe block. The car was dialed. Everybody was complaining how loose the track was. I had pleanty of traction and steering.

Hey it looks like your front caster blocks are on the wrong sides Right is on left and left is on right. Also the shock stand-offs need to be flipped so more threads go through the lock nut and you don't have excess on the shock tower side.

I just noticed your rear shocks are in front of the tower I think they are supposed to be behind the tower

I'm pretty sure your rear arms are reversed as well.

I liked it on a med to high bite track atleast. Gives the car a touring car feel, bunch of steering and the rear just follows. im Still running it that way on my local track which has decent grip but still working with the dirt so its more like a low to med grip.

Dangit. i posted this the other day but i guess it got overlooked. too bad the axles barely fit, might work good for the people wanting to run mid motor set-up on a non high bite track.

Front Shock Cap Updates

The new caps I have, are a different color than the originals. I can't tell for sure if they threads looks deeper or not, but I can say that the car is BACK IN RACING ACTION!

I think I still have some setup tweaks to do. Going back to the kit 10 degree castor to take some of the intensity out of the car, and might go to orange fronts. We'll see how it goes.

One thing that's still clear to me, is that I'm the largest limiting factor with my car. Still enjoying the heck out of it though!!
