I only like the c towers on super high bite
That must be my issue, my track is far from high bite lol.

Ok I don't know what F18engineguy got but I got the V2 Exotek hubs for sure as clearly stated in the literature included with the hubs.



I'm not going to take my Yabia hubs off for this comparison but here you go. First, Exotek vs AE FT with A height ball stud. Clearly the centerline of the ball is lower on the Exotek.



Next is the Exotek hub next to the AE FT hub with the C height ball stud. To my eye these are equal in height.



So the ones I got are correct and I'm happy.

Yup that's it. I run the A height when I'm outdoors and C when I go inside where the traction is much higher.

Why is it that Amain is always out of stock when I order and the stuff always comes back in stock right after I order?

I wanted these but they were out of stock earlier this week.

What do you guys think about putting the car on the tweak station. Just bought one and put the car on it and for some reason it has me putting cross weight in it according to the shock collars. Is this ok?

this is a photo of my dubro links that i recently installed i have to get different turnbuckles but it is ready to race i have to order one for the steering link, but other than that it took about 90% of the slop out of the ae so hopefully its awesome, ya the camber links arent a big deal but for the steering links it would make sense to get 4 that are close to the same length and put them on accordingly.

ugh well i guess that link didnt work so i dont know how to post an image on here some help please

I'm in need of a couple setup tips. I'm running the stock setup which is working pretty well at my track but I'm looking for a little more on power steering.
Also, I'm running ae 30wt shock oil front and rear with stock springs and pistons. The rear end of the car felt unstable upon landing and in the rougher sections of the track. Can someone help me please?

I forget what the stock springs are, Green front and White rear? That should be ok for Wolcott, you could try going up to 32.5 in the rear, and 35 in the front (I never run the same weight all the way around). Adding anti-squat should make it rotate a little better on power. If you don't like the traction loss on acceleration, then start adding limiters to the front, or weight around the servo.

I dislike the 1.6 pistons, imo the 1.4x3 are better

couple of questions, what is the surface, what are the fast guys running, and what have you tried, I ran 30/30 with the 1.6/1.6 all the way around outdoor season on all kinds of track conditions without a problem, i only changed the springs and other various things. However i am interested in trying different pistons wildcat do you have a link for the 1.4x3 pistons?

^ definitely agree for the 1.4 x 3 pistons

tomorrow will be my first time at leisure hours raceway in Joliet, Illinois

its supposedly extremely high bite like slicks.

hopefully gonna get some video of my first few laps and then my main for what ever I make lol

it looks like it has some huge jumps from what I am used to. these 1.4s should be good!
