I measured the stock hex and it was 5mm so I ordered the stock TC7 hex.

Hopefully I'll get everything installed and sorted out for the next points race this Sunday.
You mean the 5mm wide ones? These?

OK, that's a nice track, but a bit of a commute for me.

Got the DCVS installed. Had to do a bit of trimming on the castor block so hopefully that doesn't make them too much weaker. (I've broken two already.

The Ackerman is also different where I drilled into the steering hub. Going to have to make the links a few mm shorter so not sure how that "should" change the handling...

Did you drill the third hole on the steering blocks like Justwill did?

To be honest I didn't really compare akerman before and after but it does not seem excessive to me as it sits right now. The car handled great on the track. Much better than I expected even with my made up setup.

I'm pretty sure I did. I'll get a picture tomorrow.

Nicholas,
Coming to BRR for the points race tomorrow? If so, I'd like to take a closer look at this.

The DCVS made a very noticeable change. Way smoother and didn't feel like I was scrubbing speed every time I turned.
