TURTLETRAX Saturday 7/25 @ 2PM
 
This Saturday's club race will be at 2PM. Same as usual track opens at 8 and first qualifier at 2. I won't over water the track friday like I did this past weekend still trying to figure out how much to put on it at night to last til morning. Any way see everyone there.

Could someone please tell me what 30 degree caster blocks do compared to the stock ones. Does it give you more steering? Does it have more camber change turning?

More
More caster aids stability, and handling in bumpy sections.

Less
Less caster increases steering drastically.
Steering feels much more direct, the car turns tighter and faster.


Do a Google Search for RC Car Set UP Guide and you will find a world of information to confuse you even more;)



Hope this helps

Just to show the differences in the different buggies, I use 25 degrees of caster on the RB5. My car pushed really bad before I made the change. Also, caster is changed at the pivot block on the RB5. This means you have to take the entire front apart to change it. It is a good thing that 25 works on virtually all surfaces on the RB5.

I'm going to have a hard time changing my caster... I broke my block after the race durring practice :blush: I found out that there is a high spot in the last double you DO NOT want to hit... lol Took out my front suspension mount, inner hinge pin, and arm... :weird: oh well, that's racin' :lol:

Rfury 07-21-2009 12:53 PM

I knew you were trying to break it. :lol:

Thats it blame it on the track. I suppose you tell me I put that pipe in your way too:ha:

K_Spec_RC 07-21-2009 03:10 PM

Of course it was you, I sure as heck didn't put it there :D

btw, the Turtle Trax decals are printed and cut. I should have them by this weekend. I will have to find a way to get them up there to you. Maybe I can meet up with Adam at wolf camera or something? We'll figure it out.

Yes they are slow this week.... I ordered a few things Sunday night and it was just shipped a few minutes ago. They are normally a lot faster.
