Now to avoid the flange from mushrooming do this with a dremel before assembly

"MH:
The anti-roll bars were never included in any XRAY touring car kit. The handling of the T1 touring cars is a bit different from others and in many conditions the anti-roll bars are not needed at all. Therefore we let the customer decide to purchase the anti-roll bar when he needs it, instead of adding it to the kit and thus increasing the price of the kit."
I was told on this thread that sways aren't even neccesary. This quote by Martin Hudy says in many conditions sway bars are not even needed. What conditions does he mean? I plan on getting a new belt car in the future and the fk05 is #1 on my list. I just want to know because i only want to buy what is neccesary to race.
Thanks

Question (for anyone)...Is there any way to tell the Team Tamale Alum C-hubs from the XRay ones?

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BROKEN THE TIP OF THE XRAY CHASSIS
Hi,
I think the 05 is a GREAT car. But iot does have some weakneses for eg. The tip of the chassis. Here in AUS about 70% of all us top Xray drivers have snaped or delamenated the top of the chassis some big hit some lil. Is this a BIG of problem with most the cars or is it just the HARD Australian Cond!??

hi guys i recently purchased an fk05 and i am very happy with the car,but i need a little help with the setup. I am running the box standard kit setup but have a diff up front and i am experiencing an on power push and off power oversteer. Do you guys have any quim fixes for this? I have the optional spring set, so i can play with the springs a bit if i need to.
Thanks
Thanks

Hi all,
Anyone notice quite a bit of bump-in under front suspension compression? Has anyone tried fixing it and would like to share the results?

Then, increment your front droop screw setting by .5mm and test the car. Keep screwing in the droop screw by .5mm increments until you get rid of the push. I've found that 1.5 or 2 on the droop guage is best for the front arms. This should get rid of the on power push by keeping the front of the car low to the ground, which keeps weight over the front axle and uses the aerodynamics of the body's front spoiler.
From my recent experience at the race this past weekend, I would not recommend using anti-squat on the 05. I've been running anti-squat for a couple of weeks now and I kept having a problem with mid corner oversteer in tight corners, taken at full lock, with fast entry speeds. I found the only way to allow enough weight to shift rearward fast enough at mid corner was to trim up neutral to a roll on my transmitter and increase the front droop by 1mm (lets the front insde wheel lift up at mid corner and transfer more weight to the rear outside wheel). But these settings gave too much on power push as a result. So I'd suggest decreasing front droop to cure the off power oversteer.
These recommendations are for rubbers on low to medium grip asphalt. For medium to high grip carpet, I've found that anti-squat works well if you have softer and wider rear foams. I use 40 shore 26mm fronts and 35 shore 30mm rears. The wider rear foams keep the car from oversteering, but allow the rear to rotate around at mid corner very well since they are not loaded with as much weight due to the anti-squat. But I haven't been able to get the same affect from rubbers even when using CS27s up front and CS22s on the rear.
