Anyhow, my problem is now that I can't seem to get the amount of droop I'm after in the rear. I'm using the original RS shock tower with the 'long' shocks along w/ the Yoke 'short' ends. Maybe I should try shaving the end off the triangular piece within the shocks huh...

the spacer deal, is hard for me to explain but it all has to do with, angles and math and roller center and blah blah blah, lol all i know is i have never tried it on the cgm but love the steering of the worlds so i will do it to the cgm.

Hey guys, i am highly considering the Yoko Mr4-TC but, is it too old? Also any new hints on an upcoming yoko car? Anyway, my questions are, whats the major difference between the CGM and the SSG or the carbon fiber chassis? The CGM tub chassis said it had new steering system or something like that, also, how durable is the car? I'm thinking of buying one off this forumn but i need 325 first. Anyway, thanks! if you want, just pm me with comments thanks..

and what is the hole for the motor mount underneath the chassis for on the very outside as it says to not put a screw in it? its not for the fan mount as it doesnt go all the way through.
many thanks

On the CGM you can just place the fan up in front of the motor, I use shoe goo and it works very well. I also added a seperate switch and wired it directly to the wires at the speedo from the battery. The fan can be turned on anytime there is a battery hooked up to the speed control. When the speedo is turned off after a race the fan continues to run and cool down the motor.

Thanx guys... but as far droop goes, the more droop in the rear of the car, the car is going to pitch forward alot more under braking and cornering thus producing a loose rear-end right?

yeah, if you run too much rear droop you'll have alot of weight transfer to the front under braking. Too little droop and your rear end will feel "skatey". Always have to find that happy medium

Off hand without having to do it to find out.....
on SSG/CGM suspension geometry IF the shocks are the same length front and back will the droop be the same front and back?
Assuming you don't change any shock mounting positions that is.

So shock & spring-wise, with a higher rear vs. front droop situation, do you want a stiffer front-end and softer rear-end? That way the front-end doesn't pitch too much...

you can put a solid wire in the front on the car in place of the shocks, and solid wire in the rear of the car in place of shocks, when you hit the brakes weight is transfered forward. same for on power steering, when you hit the gas the weight goes to the rear of the car. shock piston size, weight of shock oil, and droop control how much and how fast.
the easiest way to do it, is just at the track, run a couple of laps to get a starting feel for the car, then turn the droop screws a turn or two and see what it does.
besides that, why are you hitting the brakes, it only slows you down.

Matt what about rollout (or sp/ pin w/approx tire size) with a 12 single Orion V2 Hara. I was running 100/27 with extremely small tires. Have you ran on of these motor yet? Man this thing is sweet!
After running the pack until it dumped, It was much cooler that my stock motors. The motor was bone stock, just out of the box.

Can anyone tell me which yokomo piston would be the same as the rayspeed 1.1 piston? Also, what the diff between a long rear camber link and a short rear camber link, and if you shorten it on the hubs or on the shock tower? Lastly, what if you mount the ball stud on the upper hole or lower hole on the shock tower? The reason Im asking all these questions is b/c the rear end of my car wants to slide out, and I changed the droop, ride height, oil, and just about anything you can think of per another guys info, but I have no idea what these things do. So if someone could give me an idea what they do I can try and figure it out my self. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
