my car ran fine AGAIN this weekend
2 questions: Are you guys using a tiny bit of loctite on screws that go through arm mounts
also
never had this happen 'til this weekend; my front spring perches come off of shock ends (like there is not enough tension holding or pushing down from the springs to keep it in place)
anybody ran into this? might just glue them BUT I think that is unnecessary

I only had a cup come off a cpl times but its good now. I bend about the last 1/4 inch of the spring coil inward to where it fits the cup tight. Sometimes I have to orientate it so the end of the spring falls into the cup on the slot if I over bend it. I also did this on my rb5 long ago.

You can loctite the front screws as they thread into alum.

is this to keep the spring on the cup or the cup on the shock end? My son and I constantly are popping the spring cups completely off the car, no lie, every race night or practice day, we are out there looking for a spring cup at least once each. Matter of fact Saturday, ran almost the entire main missing a front spring cup. I even have tried a little super glue to keep it in place and still have lost them.

To keep the spring perch on the rod end! I ran a q and a Main with both front spring perches off! I was gonna super glue but shouldn't have to
I'll post pics tonight
for my ride height, springs aren't that tight or under compression! Yes springs are broken in! I use the HB Gold front and Yellow rear springs
If I remember correctly my ride height is 20mm F and R

[QUOTE=snwchris;13894168]I believe that mainly from the shorter chassis. The Schelle chassis was made to help eliminate that and from what I've seen at our track and tried out a couple of the 413s with the Schelle chassis you can definitely be a little harder on it in the corners and sweepers.
I run 2015 reedy..ierc track.im using black rear sway instead of ty's copper and front hubs 1mm spacer top and bottom because I don't understand the effect of raising and lower front hubs yet.spring are stock but do have red fronts and gold rears..
