In that way, the changing dynamics of the car will not be too biased throughout the tire wear. And then there is this ride height affecting the handling (steering) of the car, higher rear end will have more steering (looser rear); whilst a higher front end will induce understeering effect to the car.
Hope all this will not confuse our new friend here...hehe...

-what we call for adjust (chamber)(toe too? or positive 1,0,-1etc?)

As in camber, we don't use positive camber..."\---/". We only use negative camber..."/---\", tires leaning to the inside. Normally when we say MORE camber, we usually mean the tires leaning MORE. Both camber and toe-in/out are measured in degrees...

Or.. Does CEN have a optional KNUCKLE that has a greater toe in? If yes. Have to change the entire knuckle.
Your car's platform looks like an electric car so..... some things kenot change easily.
But from the photo... Enuf la your toe in.... Play the car first la.

btw,my car pic that nite i set back to low or original setting with front more spacer than rear, i test it yesterday, it was more stable than last time , but then coz of too low, simen parking lot so flat also kena chasis, saw few times got bunga api from behind ... i thought is NOS ... :P(now my front tyres kong already, any suggestion ?i dun wan buy foam tyres 1st coz i know is a wast for me just play not race ...)like i said kena bottom chasis is steel ma,at front a bit ,where we connected our front shock , i also kena , day by day playing , that plastic surface very kasar already, is it ok ?will it effect my car handle or break some day? how?
if my car shock oil, i wanna change , change harder or softer oil?where can i get this kind of oil? is it expensive? agak rm? any alternative oil to replace hobby shop shock oil? (minyak pelincir can?)
u guy got any recommendation buying tyres? got kaki ? as long as cheap tahan lama, if got grip then more happy... (can i just change front 2 new tyres n rim , rear remain since no broke?? like our real car ... hehe , jimat ma~)

IF you see sparks, try a higher ride height, and try out the car and see how it handles, in that way, you could learn and know your car better. Like I've said before, have a look at your suspension, it may be too soft, and also....at the settings we stated earlier on, we're talking about setting the car on foams, rubber tires are softer, so you have to take into consideration that area as well.

) If you're looking into another pair of rubber tires, go for Sorex. I would advice you to change all four together, tires that come with your car are usually "not that good" actually, and if you mix tires of different make, your car will handle bad. Sorex are slicks btw, try it, and you will know what real rubbers are about. Everything is about "precision" in this hobby, we've got different weight of shock oil to play with. A good starting point would be 40wt or 50wt Team Associated oil (or other brands of roughly the same weight). Don't use minyak pelincir! But I've heard about ppl using cooking oil tho, that was "once upon a time" ago....

(minyak pelincir can?); any brand of spring also can aswell?
now i set my chamber 2d toe in , now my car front n rear also become like this

why cannot can say say? coz i thought our minyak pelincir also got 30w -50w etc...
where can i get sorex? u know how much each pair? (btw , how to see my car offset rim? i got some figure but i duno how to see...)
Weight approx. 3.75 pounds (1700gms)
Ground clearance 0.31" (8mm)
Tire 2.6" (66mm) diameter - 1.06" (27mm) width
means my offset will be ? coz i really wish to buy those tamiya drift tyres (i like drift more than grip race, tyre also not that easy habis...)but i scare not fitted my car, not dare contact seller ...
thanks thanks thank a lot peng you ~hehe i know u are chinese ...

Hey Tan, check your PM.

Dude....TAN
Go and buy some foams laaaa.......
Foams offer a greater range of wear and is more consistent over high heat conditions.
Rubbers are good because thay do not wear out and this altering the diameter of the tire..... But then they can be erratic under high heat.
SO.... in short........ go and look at most of the Nitro cars...... they use foams on road.... Rubbers are for COncourse only.
