I think the ROTFLMAO emoticon would be more appropriate. I can laugh about it now but it sure wasn't funny last night when I discovered my bone headed mistake. I sat there for awhile just looking at the pieces in disbelief. So you think I'll see a 'night a day' difference between running 0 degree rear toe vs 3 degree? Good times!!!

i think alot of guys are not using one at all.

i've seen a few setup sheets using the .5

i'd be interested in hearing what exactly the adjustment does.

I was wondering what is a good starting point for a Tekin 9.5 with the stock spur?

I'm not sure, you may be the first guy to have done it! I can just see your expression on the driver stand now, the first day you drove the car....

"Man they weren't kidding.. this car is AGGRESSIVE!!!"

How are most people spacing the front hubs? Inside or outside? I have mine on the outside and it is overly agressive.

You mean the caster blocks? If you run the hole towards the inside, it will push the caster bock outside (wider track). If you run the hole towards the outside, it will push the caster block inside (skinnier track). Skinnier track will provide more steering, wider track less. That setting alone will not by itself make the car noticeably aggressive.

I run a wide front track to help tame some of the steering (box setting).

I have a buddy that just put one in and he is running 76/25 on a large indoor track but he was still testing. I would say start there and do the usuall temp after 2 minutes until you have it where you want it.

Guys, i'm running full size lipos, with my ESC on top of the back battery holder. It's not the best place to put it since the wires touch the body, but i couldn't find any other place.

My question is: what's the difference in terms of feeling with the shorty or saddles instead of a full size batt? I know we get more steering with the batt forward mounted or the rear more planted with the batt mounted on the back, but aren't shorties and saddles a bit too light?

Cheers

I love my Shortys in the car feels very nimble, I run mine towards rear car feels so planted and in control. I already have enough steering for my driving. I run a Tekin rs so its mounted in the little hole by tranny reciver fits perfectly in between my servo and batt mount.

Yes, the Castor block is what I am referring to. At the moment I have the front end wide and it is really aggressive. A bit to much. The reason I ask is because I want to tame the steering down so it isn't overly twitchy, so I was thinking of shortening the width. In the past with the RB5 when I have gone to a wider front end, it made the steering more aggressive.

Hmm I will have to check that out, is it hitting at the pivot?
