No coning on the tires,
I have .060 and a .075 fiberglass t-bars.
Would the .075 be stiffer than the .050 spring steel one?

sorry, thought the 9 turn was in the 1/12.

if you are running stock, purple is fine. the camber should actually be at least 1. i don't kniw about ss tbars, but i would use the .075 from the kit. center spring we use the box stock, which i think the call olive. you will get better speed out of gray rears. the pinks seam to be a little stiff and you tend to loose forward traction

I have to almost stop to get the car to turn.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Are you running stock or mod? If mod, try Magenta front tires, .075 fiberglass t-bar and make sure you're running 0.020 front springs. For stock try going to Grey or even magenta rears with your purple fronts with the same .075 t-bar and .020 springs. For either go to about -1 camber, as well.

I'm running stock, I just checked and the front springs are .020 I will put the .075 t-bar on it tomorrow.
As for the tires, thats all I have for now, I considered getting some magenta fronts.
Thanks

you are running stock, stick with purple fronts.

i don't think the front tires are tacking up, that should give you oversteer. I think you are overdriving the fronts and they are basically getting over heated and is like they get greasy. that is why you are seeing it push.

start with the tbar. i think you will see that .5 camber is too little also.

1armed1 09-27-2005 10:05 PM

I'll start out by changing the camber and the t-bar and go from there.
Thanks for the info guys.

I don't think it's available from the site yet. I got it direct after emailing them. The one I have is sort of pre-production, but the car should be available now. It's a really well designed and built car and the team Laje guys are extremely helpful. I really like this car!

i have posted pics of this car in the past as the car changed on the Laje site.
originally those gold blocks you see on the top were the old school front end steering blocks, then Aluminum, now ano'd. my post was basicly "check out this front end"

i saw it a couple of weeks ago and the perception i got from hitting SHOP is that they have 5 for sale.

they had the price posted before, several commented on the 347 tag. then again if you look at full list on some of our US cars full retail/list prices many would be amazed. luckily, over here no-one sells them for that

It's an expensive car, but comes assembled and with extra parts. You would have to ask Team Laje whether the cars listed are the SpeedEvil2 or the new SpeedEvil2006.
