depends if you are talking about the rear plate...or the adjustable's.....3/3 rear end is what i run ALL the time.

Adjustable or fixed, it doesn't matter. I am just on the thoughts of thinking that the truck just may handle a tad bit better with 3 degrees on the rear. It should allow the truck to roll better and give better steering.

Integra, How has it felt for you ?

Get the adjustables. Run 0 in the rear plate and 1up in the front plate. That should do it for you.

I'm looking to get a couple of sets of clutch shoes for my 2.0. I am looking at the Kingheadz 7075 shoes. What does everyone else use?

The Losi shoes have lasted really well and still have loads of life on them considering how many races I've done with them and the break in of the V-spec. I have no been recommended the above as they last even longer and still work really well.

Would like to hear your input.

As an aside, I tried my car with 60 front and 55 rear shock oils on recommendation, and it was really bad, had serious traction issues and in some cases the car would just dig in and roll. I'll be going back to 40 / 35 which worked really well for me.

here's the real #'s to get as close to 3/3 you can on the rear....the stock sheet is Wrong....the front you can run zero's on both till you feel the need to change it.

Rear Toe-In adjustment
Position....Insert #....total toe-IN....REAL total

Inside........1.............1............1.65
Inside........0.5..........1.5.........2.15
Middle........0.............2............2.70
Outside......0.5..........2.5..........3.25
Outside......1.............3.............3.80




Rear Anti adjustment
Position....Insert #....total Anti....REAL total

yes there is a difference, and yes you can tighten it some if you feel it is set too loose.:nod:

come on guys, someone must have some idea of what a normal running weight is.

M.Cartwright 06-07-2009 08:33 PM

my 8T2.0 ready to hit the track is 9lb 6.5oz. This is without fuel. I would guess its right at 9lb 11.5oz with fuel. This is a bit fat, i use NiMh reciever batts and weighed it with a heavier tire set... ROAR minimum is 9lb (144oz).
