Skiddins....Removing spacers from the camber link inner loactions will generally cut traction at that end of the car from the middle out of the corner. So if your car has too much rear side bite then taking some spacers out from under the inner camber link will help to free the car up in the middle of the corner.

I personally wouldnt mess with the front wheel base as much as I would the rear.

As far as the body it kind of looks like the Protoform Mazda 6 but with the HD wing that might be locking the rear end down too much. With the Standard Mazda 6 if you dont cut the wing down to the IFMAR spec the car has too much rear traction so you might be doing the same thing with the HD wing on your Moorespeed body? Do you have another wing you can use that has less down force and try that one once and see how it effects your car.

Are there any pictures of that?

Here are some pictures. The only thing I hade to do that some of you might not want to do is cut off the balance leads on the lipo and put a piece of battery tape over the leads. I can still check the cells with a voltmeter and after over 500 charges, both cells are withing 0.001v of each other.

Do you mean removing the vertical spacers on the camber links?

And soes your first coment refer to the horizontal spacers?

Thanks

Yeah thats what I meant.....Vertical is under the ball stud on the inner camber mount and Horizontal is between the mount and the bulk head.

Think of it like this.....Vertical will change your Camber Gain....the more inclined(adding spacers) that angle gets the more traction you will have as the cars suspension compresses....so that will effect the car in the corner or as it starts to roll.

Horizontal....The longer you make it the slower that end of the car will react. Meaning if your car is breaking loose in a sweeping corner then making the link longer will help delay this....or if the car is too stuck and pushing/understeering around the corner making this link shorter will help free that end of the car up.

Skiddins

So if I want to kill some front end grip through the faster stuff would making the front link shorter help. And/or would it be a good idea to change the vertical spacers and if so should the front links be higher than the rears or the other way around?

Sorry for all the questions, but these are aspects of the setup I rarely change. I understand what they do physically, but not how those physics effect the handling.

The easiest change would be to take some spacers out of the front vertical mount. This will take some steering out in the middle of the corner. I normally run my front higher then the rear on carpet with a 1 way. I personally dont move the front link in or out horizontally as much as I do the rear link.

You could also add some to the rear vertical to have the same effect and lock the rear end of the car down more in the corner and take some steering away.

I made the swap on mine tonight. Brilliant!
I have notched the plastic case on my Core 5000's a mm or two down to allow the balance lead to exit flush with the top of the battery. This allows me now to keep the balance leads and still not interfere with the belt or the top deck/bulkhead. I was surprised how much I could move the esc inward with the belts swapped.

It was good meeting you. Had a good time at The Classic. Wish I would have qualified better. But, I did win my main. Got the car better for the main at least.
I'm planning on being there for the National's also.

How have you guys fitted the Euro top deck with the V towards the front ?

Any pics of what you have done
