Alternatively you could use a normal 0 degree castor block and insert shims under the front arm bracket to achieve castor.

hello! i noticed that you have rpm ballcups connected to the front rayspeed towers. did you have to put spacers behind the ballstuds connecting the ballcups? i noticed before that the turnbuckles sweep forward from the c-hub to the thin rayspeed towers. installing rpm ballcups will cause it to bind. i have considered getting longer ballstuds to install to the tower and place spacers behind the ballstuds, making the turnbuckles more horizontal when viewed from above. i gave up looking for the longer ballstuds do you know if yokomo sells longer ballstuds?

On the Rayspeed Chassis we run Yokomo Long type ball studs which will make the front camber links more horizontal. Part # ZC-206L.

Honestly the RS chassis isn't the best for foam carpet racing, but if you do run it I suggest doubling the topdecks to make the car stiffer. Tosolini's carpet nats setup is posted on www.yokomo.tk

So far so good. I've been running on concrete pavement parking lot temporary track and high traction asphalt circuit tracks. No tweak problem, even after a hard knock. Haven't try a carpet track yet. No one organiser doing carpet race for a long while now.

Thanks, same to you. We are looking forward to the trip. I went by the track last week on the way back from Vegas and it is a pretty nice track. It should be a lot of fun.
