Hudy has a bushing set to use two of their touring car set up stations. You can also order an f1 setup station from hudy that comes with the pair of bushings and two setup stands.

Dave,
John left CRC some months ago. Brian is da man! He is at [email protected]
Setups change; so, getting the absolute latest from him is best. Plus, he can suggest per your track situation too.

The setup station with the bushings is pretty poor. The setup station is only good for static to and camber with the wheels centered. As you turn the wheels to check steering symmetry the plates are locked to the axle. A better system would be like their pan car setup station....an adapter needs to be made to house 5 x 10 bearings.

Yes. Brian and/or John's replacement have been answering John's emails since his departure.
I miss John; but, Brian did a great job of covering everything at CRC for a few months while Frank C (motorcycle injury) was out too.
That's why I continue to say that Brian is da man at CRC...and on the race track.

Yeah I did speak to Brian a bit via email a few days back and he was very helpful. It doesn't say it but I think after some research the kit oil is 30 wt. However it does not list any for sale on their site. Anyone know the cSt of their oil or close to it? I'm going to have to fab up some viscosity meter if not.

Brian when we talked at the birds you mention the roll center adjustment with motor shims. I did not ask if you were using them? For those out there could you also post your set-up for the F1 like you did for the WGT-R. Thanks for all the help at the birds- taking a week off before I try to improve my F1 results.

All these things you are asking about are adjustable, and have an impact on the performance of the car. droop in the rear of the car is adjusted by changing the length of the shock. the longer you make the shock, the more droop you have in the rear pod. spring tension should be set so that the car is flat when sitting on the ground and ready to race. not enough tension, and the center of the car will sag, too much and it will peak at the center pivot. we always run just a shade of toe out (about 1/2 degree) and id start with 1 degree of camber. more camber will give you more steering, to a point (about 2 degrees, then you will start to lose contact patch with the track. we are generally running light dampening in the tubes (between 5 and 10k).
hope this helps.
hope this helps.

Thanks and am I correct that the base setup has it just touching? How are you guys getting this accurate? I was just putting a piece of paper between the chassis and the spring and then once it touched I removed paper and turned it a hair more. What adjustments are you guys making to perfect it and fine tune?
Thanks
Dave
