[QUOTE=Marcos.J;9622875]Asphalt or carpet? I ran the above setup with rp 40's on carpet with a sp6.5 and worked very well , I did however changed the front diff fluid to 500,000.
Hi Marcos
On Asphalt, car lacks grip all round, on Sorex tires the car is good with our current setup, not with the Sweep OG-Spec 40 tires.

Gary

moveing the wishbone forward tends to give a bit more initial steering and might be better through sweepers on some tracks, however it usually creates huge understeer in hairpin turns / corners that tend to get tighter
This is why the team is running (front to back) 2.5/1.5/2/2 wheelspacing basically everywhere. Rearhubs spaced .5/.5
This seems to be the sweetspot of the car.

What effect would this have on the car compared to 1mm front, 0 rear and vice versa?
A couple more questions if you dont mind?
Have you tested the 6 degree caster blocks with your anti dive set up in the front of the car?
Have you also tested using arm sweep on the car at all? My previous Xray liked 1.9 front 1.5 rear pivot block spacing and handled the tracks sweeper with ease. I have not bothered to test this on the CX yet.

I ususally don't use front inboard toe-out. It needs to suit the car and the developement seems to go away from that and just use staight front hingepins.
rearhub in the middle gives the best driveshaft angle. and the wheelbase is right then.

for those with rear belt problems with the gear diff.......i rid this problem by adding a shim to the diff float area-this slightly improved the the center pulley alignment with the gear diff pulley-no more rear belt problems (4.5 motor)!
hope this helps somebody. also set the belt tension tight enuff so the rear belt teeth sinks into the gear diff pulley on normal hand rotation test. too tight causes extra heat.
