Kropy... the bodies were awesome... Get ready to do some more for me .. ;-)


Chris The delrin ball is from the Trinity front end....

Tmunno... LOL... Great to see you all in a XRAY now ... By far the best car i have driven..



Slowerone... Sure here is my setup from the snowbirds... I ran the associated front end with .020 front springs Trinity red stuff as dampening.. 1 degree of camber 3 degrees of caster . jaco 2stage double pink fronts. Tire size front 1.62 the rear of the car ... The T-bar i ran was a .075 thick. i ran trinity Red stuff in the tubes. Rear tires i ran 1.72 double pink 2 stage jaco's . I ran a Trinity Cobalt 9x2 geared 29/100 chad ran trinity 4383's full face.. Not sure about the springs.. I used Epic 3800's charged @ 5amps.. My car alot of steering so i had to back the dual rate down to 60% and then the car seemed perfect..I also tested some bodies and found the Protoform speed 12 was the best for that given surface If there is anything else let me know...

Mike,
Did you ever run a FK05 at a big race? I didnt know, cause you signed onto Xray not to long ago and didnt know if you started with the T2 as ur first Xray Car or the FK05. Does Cleveland, Novak Race, and Snowbirds use the same carpet if you know? Im looking at attending next year.

Also, Im running Mike Dumas's FK05 2005 Cleveland setup at the moment. But I run stock, Is there a difference in motors for a setup? need to change anything for stock racing compared to the Mod setup??

Oh, and you might now this I was running Xray 30wt all around on my FK05, I recently rebuilt and vented out the shocks on the car, but didnt have a chance to get xray fluid, I had to use Trinity 50wt, whats the characteristics of teh 2? Will i be good to go for the rest of the season, or should i get some Xray fluid and do a re-build?

Ben!

Mike, thanks for the information. Just a couple of areas I could with some help on...

Front blocks - 10 degree or 5 degree?

Castor, is that the same setting as a 12L4 with one washer either side, or not? I notice from the pics in the Trinity press release that your front end looks older than the 12L, so is 3 deg a 'special' setting?

Thanks in advance.
