for high grip carpet, should i use the standard top deck or go with the 1.6mm I have both, but since my wires are attached to the standard top deck, its really a lot of work to switch and did not want to do it if its worse thanks

I read somewhere that if you use the solid rear suspension holder (302048-O) instead of the two piece it will solve this, is this correct and will i notice any difference in handling?

You can try flipping the arms left to right and the hubs too if running zero degrees... sometimes the arms have variances in toe due to nylon shrinkage factors... what Bigz84 said also +1.

Why do you have wires attached to your top deck?
You really don't want anything attached as it may reduce flex in one direction etc.

Tech Adept
Rear toe
Still having trouble with rear toe being un even so decided to switch the lower suspension bulheads left to right and then ended up with 2.5 degrees left and right so have added a 0.4mm shim and now it seems even, very odd!!

the car has arrived - will literally start the build in less than 5 hours time and trawled through this thread for build tips... what a machine... very impressed.

anybody use the exotek chassis yet ....just wondering because if it improves handling the 50 dollar price tag might make it worth it
