Default Toe Blocks

Guys;

OK OK already, I give up. Can't win agains't an Army

My point was that 2.5-3.0 degrees per side has always been excessive in any of my cars, especially Electric Cars.

Now, does anyone know who has the option toe blocks (less than 2.5) the in stock at the moment (preferably in the USA)?

Thanks,
Steven

CA will break apart... use JB Weld.... the one-way outdrive cups are hollow... you can lock them down with a long screw and nut....

i CAed my arm before and also tried JB weld. I find they are equally strong (or equaly weak)

Downside on the JB weld is you have to wait a day for curing

Stock Spur is 98T. 100T is probably max.
Xenon spur gears work best..but others like
Robinson and Kimbrough std. spurs should fit fine
as long as there are 4 mounting holes ...

The biggest spur you can fit with the stock chassis is a 102 tooth 64 pitch....with a thicker chassis you can fit a 104 tooth. The problem with the larger spur is that it hangs out the bottom of the chassis. Hope this helps you....Im not sure on 48 pitch as I have not run that on the car.

Edit....and any normal spur gear will fit Kimbrough, RW, Trinity or HPI they all fit with out issue.

Hey Pro 4 guys......I have 2 things that you may be interested in. I have a stock chassis that has never been used and a built but never used one way. Chassis was prepped by the guy I bought the unused kit from. I will let these go for 50.00 shipped (total for both). I will sell individually for 30.00 each (shipped).

RW spurs will fit, thats all anyone needs to know! These are the best spurs on the market in my opinion.

-strongest, lightest, thinnest, truest spinning=best!
