Well horizon has the front angled spindle carriers and hubs off the EU edition I just got them today for both my buggy and truggy. Truhe tole me they make a difference in steering in a good way.

Cary,

Part number for the complete set is LOSA1728 they are only on the Horizon site right now as far as I know.

They also have them seperate.

LOSA1729 Inclined Spindles
LOSA1733 Spindle Carrier 12* Caster w/ Incline

The 10* Caster Spindles that have the new Incline for the new Spindles were not out last I checked. Part # LOSA1734

They also have the Hinge Pin Braces that are Black Ano that will be released too.
LOSA1758 Rear Adj.
LOSA1787 Front Adj.

The Shock caps are still not out on the Horizon sight till May I think.

LOSA5422 Shock Cap Vented
LOSA5431 Foam Compensator

I understand the advantages of increased caster but i don't get the purpose of the 5 degree off set spindle carriers?
Can someone explain this?

http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=LOSA1728

All I know is at silver state Truhe told me they gave him one set for his buggy and truggy and he liked them so he was running them. Mike has always been right on the $$$ every time. I am going to test them on Sat.

frank doesnt mike run the 10 degree carriers ? that what he had on his buggy at the psycho nitro blast ....there is a 5 degree incline on the angle the king pins go into the carriers ...mike said it helps the buggy in mid corner to exit ...because of the new geometry ....

Ive Tried multiple different brands of springs and even the cheapo ball point spring's and could never get them to work the way i would like to, So good luck in getting them to work for ya. I feel they are not required.

If it works like it does in TC it should give you more caster and camber gain when the wheels are turned. We had some prototype stuff in TC a couple years ago that some guys still run. The kingpin hole was drilled for 4 degrees of caster in the steering block. Works awesome mid corner.

May have to see if I can find a set for this weekend. White house had them last week but sold them I think.

Yep Ive got to work till lunch or so tomorrow so it will be after that when I get up there. Should be a great race though. They have put a lot of money and work into the track the past few weeks.

So does this mean that the #LOSA1728 have the 12* spindles with the set? The 10* spindles would be different.
