It will be something you need to test to determine what feels best to you for your track conditions. Generally when the track has less bite, you will want a larger tire to help generate more grip. When the track has a lot of bite, smaller tires will always be faster.

Thanks
Looks like they're IRS. I've had mine a few years.

His website never used to even say if he had stock.
Must confess if I want something from them I always phone first otherwise it will end up on back order for as long as it takes.
Had stuff turn up before that I'd forgotten I'd even ordered

The hudy set is nice,I want the rounded bottom for more of a precise balance that comes with the chassis pivot type.

I've used the IRS ball type balance pins before and did not like them at all. I found that the bottom had a bit of a flat spot that did not allow the car to lean left/right as I wanted. Also the pin was too small and moved around in the balance holes in the chassis which seemed super inconsistent to me. The Hudy style fills the hole completely since it is tapered, and is more consistent IMO.
Personal preference I guess.

My car with
0.8mm shims, new Xenon springs and 40.6mm tyres is at 3.3mm. So should be over 4mm with no shims. I've just switched to these springs as the soft xray ones would collapse after a couple of meetings.

For AE parts, most use:
ASC4403 Kingpins, 1:12 Scale
ASC4622 Upper Arm Eyelets
ASC4626 Upper Arm Mounts/Steering Blocks
ASC4627 Front Axles
ASC8417 Pivot Balls
After building the kit front end on the '17 and comparing on the bench to my trusty old front end with AE parts, they feel nearly identical. Hoping to get some track time to test the 2 back to back soon.

Been very happy with the first runs. Running mod on asphalt... and it's probably been the most painless runs I've ever had with a new car! Only been practising driving atm, not too concerned with laptimes (and the pt isn't working
), as it's still not fully up to race ready yet. Running out of packet tyres until I can get my hands on truer, and have a 2s speedy with an rx pack (yes they still exist)... but like I said, it's been painless!
