I am going to be making the 2mm axle spacers for you guys also. They will be a nice,cheap little tuning option.
last year i tried running more offset on the front and could not get more than 3 or 4 shims stacked between the axle and block without losing thread on the nut.
so, to add 2mm to the front axle, does this mean you drop the lock nut? or maybe you grind a relief on the inner surface of the stearing block?

I ran my DB12RR with the New Front on Saturday, with no other changes from the previous week. Unfortunately it was one of those nights when almost everything seems to go wrong, but unrelated to the NF. (Except that I had to clip the corners off the servo saver for clearance. Is this normal with the NF?)
I only finished one of four quallies, and only 3 laps of the main. So why am I happy? In my first qually of 12(!) laps I equalled my best lap of the previous week. And in the main my third lap (which was also my last lap) was 3/10s better than ANY prevous lap I'd done.
I think Jason said he favours the front flex plates in the outer position towards the wheels. I can't do this with the RR due to the chassis cutouts.
What difference does this positioning make?
Would there be any problems if I made a thin brace to support the set screw? It looks like there would be sufficient room.
Thanks.

Hey guys,
I am going to be working on a setup guide for the car and the new front suspension. I will be putting on the website and also on here so you guys have more of an understanding on what all the adjustments do and how to tune the cars. I want you all to get the most out of your cars and spend less time with the guesswork. I will try to get it completed shortly.

Odd...I ran mine in the down position like that and it cleared the arms...but just barely.

How do you make sure you are getting the damper tubes the same on every run, or for that matter from side to side? I always try to use the same amount of spooge and have even used a fiddle stick to try and measure the drag, but it seems very imprecise. Associated and Serpent use oil filled shocks, but now Serpent appears to be revamping their car to use tubes. Thoughts?
