so which ones do you run to get 3 degrees of toe in
I hear ya not sure where all that started. If you want to copy a set up off of the losi site 3-3 will be 1's up for the anti squat and 0's for the toe you can also go as far as 4 deg anti squat by using 1's up and a stamped rear 3-3 plate

This is what all of the losi guys will be refering to when you read a set up

what about front, also i just realized i had 0 in front and rear, would the 2deg antisquat have anything to do with that

Looking for shims to go between the rear axels and the hexes to take out a bit of slop. Anyone know where to find some?

the gearbox shims wont work

you need to get kyosho 8x10mm shims they come in a pack with .1's .2's and .3's

i shimmed mine up once and it made the car really twitchy and hard to drive.
losi's are designed with slop and drive best with it.
it takes some getting used to the theory that the slop helps but IMO there cars are a POS when the slop has been shimmed out

im at the point now where i would like to rebuild my car for the nationals but dont want to do it because i will loose all the slop and the car will need to be broken in again
