Tech Initiate
I finished my JQ eCar WE recently and am in process of tuning the setup for my local club track (medium size, low grip, small jumps, bumpy).
Before JQ I drove a Mugen MBX6 Tekno v4 conversion.
I like that the eCar is much more responsive to setup changes, and has much larger tuning window that the Mugen. Universals need much less care than CVD's and generally wear is minimal (none after 20 packs).
On the other side you HAVE to adjust your setup for each track individually, unlike Mugen where you can use the same setup on a lot of tracks.
Current problem for me is missing front end grip (lower than Mugen) on slow tight turns with high grip surface. I think it's because of universals on the front that cause shutter when wheels are fully turned. I want to mention that I'm "point and shoot" type of driver so "drifting through corners" is not my style. Can I fix the upper mentioned problem through setup changes or is a driving style change my only solution?

hey chris, i tried all 3 sets of holes on the plate, and the steering feel was never a problem, it was the bump steer that was getting to me... but going to the old setup, with the old top plate feels different..and i really like it!! just made my car feel dialed

Also you say missing front end grip. How do u mean? Is the car pushing in the corner? Breaking traction? Do you want on or off power steering?

No necessary up grades but there are a few options you might want to have on hand. 7x1.3 pistons, grey springs, sway bars and pinions which you probably have.

Are the bigger shocks necessary? I can buy the longer arms separate, correct? I run on a high bite indoor clay track. Looking for a Setup sheet for my e car (no WE car) is everything a direct swap from e car to WE Car I can add as I go? I picked it up with a whole bunch of spades for $125 bucks
