Testors brand paint pen works good too.

look kid i am try to help you. you dont have to take my advice but the guys that know what they are doing something similar to what i have told you to do. i am sorry that you dont want my advice but dont mock it try it get a camber guage and a ride height gauge, standard stuff thats what i use and a set of digital calipers i am sorry i will stop trying to help you

My camber gauge ?

A bottle of traction sauce :cry:


My ride height gauge ?

Any body close by with one I can borrow ;)


Caliper 's ?????

The guy that pits next to me has a set ....:D

camber gauge talk now? I just use the square one that is included in the kit lol

lol camber gauge, soda can for 0 and ae gauge for -1. ride height gauge make sure those arms are closest to straight as i can get.

I have heard of people using objects such as those, i was just fortunate enough that i enherated a few things from my dad and three of those things where a ride height gauge and a camber gauge and a flat board. im just not as consistent setting up my stuff with those things is all thats why i use the tools but to each their own. So do you guys like the proline vortex body, or the jconcepts illuzion finisher body better?

Sharing info was all I was trying to do, then I keep being told i'm wrong by people who can't take 30s to check the actual manual first. At that point I had already solved my problem on my own, shared my mistake and the fix, and offered a little advise to those who what a simple and cheap way to accurately set their angles.

Not sure what makes you think i'm a "kid" obviously has nothing to do with the amount of time spent on this site.

Better Idea red fuel tubing and a dab of glue... done!

As for the turnbuckle lengths your seeing way more into it then you should If you need to change anything just readjust This isnt F1. On top of that when you set everything on a perfectly flat table is that the way the track is?
There are only so many things you can setup which are just baseline. When you get the car on the track that is the most important how it handles and makes you fast. besides you read the manual wrong. Just admit it:D

well ... anyone on the difference between the proline vortex body vs the jconcepts illuzion finisher body?

If you think i'm wrong about what the manual says, your either mentally incompetent, too lazy to actually click the link, or just screwing with me. Maybe the old manual used a different system of measurement.

I'm all about discussing differences of opinions, but have a low tolerance for misstatements of basic facts.

The b4.1 manual, if I recall correctly, measures from the center of the ball cups unlike the b4.2.

The old manual that I built from did use a center-to-center measurement, not an inside of the ball cup shoulder measurement. So, guess what? You both win! Seriously though, by the time you factor in the amount of play that exists between the ball cups and suspension arms, the biggest favour you can do yourself is making sure they're the same length and adjust from there. You'll also notice that once the car breaks in (aka gets a little slop in the suspension) it'll handle better. Your best bet is to deny your instincts of shimming away the slop, sloppy is fast! LOL!

Are the hinge pins 3mm or 1/8" on the B4.X? I'm rebuilding one of mine and the front caster block is so tight I can't get the pin through it and I was going to buy a reamer. Should have measured the pin or brought it with me but I didn't. Anyone know?

Or are they 7/64": http://www.lunsfordracing.com/mm5/me...gory_Code=HPIN

What the B4 has slop. :p. Say it ain't so. It is funny but I happen to go to a track with A LOT of top pros and I watch them set up their cars, they don't even have camber gauges and ride height. They eye ball it. There is so much slop in the car, wheels aren't perfect etc etc that there is no way you can get it perfect. Even if you did it is not on road racing on a perfectly flat track.

I dont think so. I am at work, but once I needed a hinge pin and was going to make one out of a shock shaft, but it was too big. I out calipers on them, but I dont recall the side. I "think" it was like 2mm.
