I'm not sure if this has been asked, but I'm trying to reduce the amount of rear toe in my car. I am currently using A-A rear blocks w/1.5 in the hub carriers. Now if I'm reading the instruction manual correctly I should have a total of 2.5 degrees of rear toe on each side correct.???. If this is true how do I reduce the toe? Do I purchase new rear hub carriers, if so what is the part number. Or do I reverse the rear hub carriers?
Also what shock oil are you guys running for stock/asphalt - high grip.

keith... (someone correct me if im wrong). but i think you have 1.5 rear toe. A/A blocks gives you 0 toe + the built in toe on the rear carriers = 1.5

i guess you can go A/X which will give you + .5 combined with the 1.5 will give you 1 deg. rear toe. BUT the "x" block is from the 415 so your roll center will be lowered 1mm.

can someone chime in make sure im explaining this right? :lol:

btw. world championship replica kit is coming out for the 415. if you have the lightweight suspension, you can use the alum. rear hub carriers. those are 0 deg toe. then use the blocks to adjust.

sorry if i dont make sense :) :lol: (too much coffee at work)

they do make an X block for the Evo IV... just got mine from R10 this week. if i had it handy, id give the part #.

damn wes! talk about being in on top of things!! :lol: :sneaky:

hows your evo running dude? i was thinking of swapping out all the "A" blocks for "X" blocks and swap out the front "D" block for a "C" block. wanted to see how much better or worse the car will be if i narrowed the stance

I think the rear hubs are 1 degree hubs. I just put on new ones today and the Tamiya header says 1 degree.

weird... team orion says 0 deg? maybe there are two sets that got released?

Maybe were talking about different hubs. I'm talking about the EVO IV hubs:confused: Maybe I'm confused and you are talking about the 415 hubs which I'm not even sure if they are the same since I'm not up on the 415.:D

im assuming both cars are using the lightweight suspension. wasn't marc's car using the lightweight suspension? if it was.. then those hubs will work on the evoIV also. too much confusion! :lol:

If you are talking carpet, try the two X blocks up front, Happy happy.

I hear ya!!!!!!:lol: I think Marc did have the lightweight rear suspension on. You right too many options. I do finally get to race my car on Saturday. Only the 2nd time I got to run the car.

it has been really good for me lately... at the moment, it is scattered on the bench, getting a freshening up for the Novak race in Wisconsin.

i havent tried using the X block yet... the track we run on right now is indoor concrete, sprayed with VHT... lotsa traction! running the purple/grey Tamiya springs, no bars, i think A-A and A-B... very good feel...

Tamiyadriver could you maybe post a pic of that track sometime. Indoor concrete sounds pretty cool.:nod: Bet you have a good time running on that.

Hehe...I bought one! Hehe....just can't wait for it's arrival....thx KoE!!! :blush:

I was reading the Oct. 04 version of Xtreme RC Cars....they had an review article on the EVOIV..

It mentioned several times that the evoIV has some slop in the rear hub? Is this normal? Because it doesn't sound right....

TB Evo IV C parts (front upright) 2 sets

New rear hubs don't have much slop but I here after you run them some they can get a little slop. The new alum ones from Tamiya should be here soon. Steve at Speedtech said he expects them early next week.

i will try to remember to get some pix... its kinda small, and tight lanes. makes your lines and passing areas much more important! lotsa fun, tho... might make a better driver outta me yet!
