Yes a more solid arm. That's why they came out with the carbon plates.

Yeah. I wish we'd get something like the MBX8 is going to have.

Question for those running the SWorkz a-arms. Are they all direct fit? If not, what else needs to be changed?

Hey guys, tried looking but can't get a definitive answer on this question...

what effect does changing the rear hub height have? When would you raise or lower?

TIA!

Hub down (hinge pin in upper hole) gives better forward bite and more rear traction out of a corner. Generally used on low grip or when you need more stability. Hub up is supposedly better on high bite tracks but I find myself running the hubs down all the time.

Thanks so much!

Definitely going to hub down!!! No traction in the rear!

I believe so, but I haven't been able to get a direct answer from anyone either.

Ongaro's DNC setup is up. I don't think I'll be brave enough to try it. https://www.teamassociated.com/pdf/c...Ongaro_DNC.pdf

Interesting! Thank you for sharing that. Don’t think I could go back to HTC gears and 15-15-10 after using the LTC gears and 15-20-10. It has been a good set up the last couple tracks I have been at.

The lack of any toe in and full anti-squat is what I don't get. I don't think mere mortals could drive his setups. It can't have any sort of rear grip. All rotation, all the time.

I agree. There is not any cushion on that setup at all....it is a qualifying lap every lap

The bigger rear sway bar and no toe get it to turn off power, and keep it from pushing on power... the thick front and center probably gave him the drive off the corner and acceleration he needed.

Aj runs an Orange rear bar. Pretty much all the time.

The front pills are what get me. Opposite of what I believed for rough track.
