Not a need but a want as well is the top deck screws in purple M3x5mm

I'm looking for some setup help for my TCX on a medium to high grip tight indoor carpet track running boosted 13.5. The main problem is a hesitation in turning in; the car seems particularly prone to washing out in the the chicane at the end of the straight. I use kit setup, except the front shocks are in one hole in the tower, the front springs are HPI pinks and I'm using 3 hole 1.1 mm pistons and 45 Wt Associated oil all round. The tyres are Sorex XG-28JB carpet rubber tyres. During a race meeting I tend to reduce the front droop very slightly and increase the rear droop by an equal amount, but the problem remains. I'm going to try going from a Mazdaspeed 6 to an LTC-R in the hope of getting more turn in, but I'm sure that the bodyshell can't be my only problem (+ a Mazdaspeed 6 should work pretty much anywhere), so I'd be happy to hear any advice. In particular I'd be interested to hear about the front toe-block - the standard kit supplied part is 2.5 degrees but I've seen lots of carpet setups using a 1.5 degree front block. Would switching to a 1.5 degree front block help turn in?
Thanks in advance

Thanks - so move the front inner camber link to the outer hole (number 1 on the setup sheet) and keep the rears in hole number 2? Also is that still with 2 mm shims under the inner ballstuds?

Go a few pages back and there is a lot of options to resolve the problem. Do a search for bones, Cvd, Yokomo
