mah, I goto this track like once every 2 months. I will skip the tire sauce, lol. Just clean with simple green and call it a day.
@chev Yeah, it changes heat to heat for us. Soon we will goto night racing, so at least the mains should be consistent. But watering a track has so many variables, lol. Almost warm enough for night racing, time to paint up a bright body. I am think white (meh 2-3 of those) or flo pink. The track has bad lighting, so I need the paint to pop. |

I use motor spray if I need to do a last minute tire swap and the tires I'm switching too aren't already gripped. It's not as good as gripping, but it's better than not gripping 99% of the time.

the 2 hole casters help that much to tighten it up?

I used to use them on the original b4. But after I got my WC, I seemed to stock pipe the 3 holes. And they dont seem to break, lol. So i have like 3 pair. I do have some slop in the front casters. I might have a carbon 2 hole laying around, I will try to see if it tightens it up a little. If so, I might pick a set up. The buggy is like 6 months old now, so even though slop is not bad, there are limits, lol.

The 2 hole blocks are not machined, they are molded. They are just molded of a different/stiffer material.

Correct. The hole for the hinge pin is drilled in the 2 hole blocks vs molded into the 3 hole blocks.

What does the shaved u brace do or help or make better? Also, does it need to be used with the c hub only? Thanks!

In general, people shave their brace and go to a c hub at the same time, but using A or B hubs with a shaved brace is also a very valid tuning option, allowing for a significantly higher roll center. I run A hubs with shaved brace and 2 washers with green rear springs at my track -- this is what works at my track. White springs on a higher bite surface are typically paired with c hubs and a shaved brace followed up by ballstud tuning at the inside brace. Run what works, don't be afraid to experiment. |
