i recently purchased the 2mm offset rear hubs. i noticed the instructions said to turn arm insert so hub closer to diff housing. with regular hubs the insert was the opposite way. anyone have any insight on these hubs? i had the previous regular aluminum hubs but bent those rather quickly
Hi Matthijs... well, let me say that I don't want to discourage anyone from using the full offset if they are allowed. My post here was based on my experience, that the MP9 just barely fit into the IFMAR box, so surely if 2mm added width, could be illegal.
To answer your question why use more offset and move hingepin, theoretically you will get less roll center variation with shorter lower arm, which I think is a good thing. It is a slight adjustment to the geometery of the rear suspension, which always yields at least some effect on the handling of the car. This will also theoretically reduce camber change on compression of the suspension. (which will produce [in PK's suspension book] "positive camber push" at the apex of a corner) That's my own term, you heard it here first.

Got some new blingbling om my car (let's see who can find them), also finally the medium rear shocks, can't wait to see if I notice something different. The more I look at the bulldog body, the more I like it, especially in all white...no green for the time being...

Very nice!
I see that the shock towers changed color, that buldog body looks like it was made for that car! What body is it for, RC8?

don't know how they hold up, exact copy of the originals and I needed the medium rear tower, for the price I couldn't resist. I have a race this sunday and will test them with some big crashes...

yes, it's a RC8 body from Proline, fits really nice after some alternative cutlines. The shocktowers are an ebay gamble don't know how they hold up, exact copy of the originals and I needed the medium rear tower, for the price I couldn't resist. I have a race this sunday and will test them with some big crashes...

So give us your feeling on the performance of the car with the medium shocks and tower vs the large ones, after that race.

Astro
Hi guys
Does anyone have experience with astroturf racing?
Im going to a race at a brand new track here in Norway, and its 100% astroturf. I have never raced on that surface, and i wonder if anyone has a good starting set-up.
What tires do you use for instance?
Have anyone tried the Schumacher mini-spike tyres? I know they work well at 1/10 races.
All inputs will be appreciated

Setup:
diff f/c/r: 10.000 - 10.000 - 5.000
shock front 550 with 1.2x8, rear 450 with 1.3x8
shockangle, all in on tower, out on arms
long upperarm link
ackerman in middle
low rollcentre on front and back, 2 degrees antisquad, 21 degrees caster
limited droop settings, depending on the jumps.
If you keep having traction roll remove some outher row pins from the tires. On very dry tracks I remove the outher 2 rows and inner 2 also. Seems odd, but trust me, you will have the best acceleration ever en very high corner speeds.

Schumacher angled spikes for long astro turf, of mini pin for short. Both used with aka insert (or any other closed cell type).

Thank you. Now i have a starting point. I'm looking forward to try this high traction racing

Nice looking ride with the RC8 shell.
Little bit of topic but Team Orion engine are you running.
I've just SOLD my MP9 & Team Orion CRF US Ed engine.
Just got my TKI2 Kit to build but looking at new engine.
I wasnt to sure with the CRF Alpha series or the ABI versions.
What engines is Jared Tebo running at the moment is it the ABI series or the CRF ones?

ORI80680 3.5 cm³ CRF 3.5ccm Off-Road Engine (ABC/5 port), set w/ pipe
But cant find any prices anywhere
Thanks
