Mind you, I nearly went into the fence when we were both on the straight and your 5 port thingy blitzed past my little JP FX 3 port - an impressive amount of power has that 5 port :nod:

I just wished I had the video camera on when you did that other stunt (that was without my car anywhere near yours). ;) :blush:

I;ve only ever seen two people do that and both of you guys did it on the same day too! :lol:

Put a paper or a plastic piece in between the spur and the pinion before meshing. Once you locked the engine mountings in place, take the piece of paper / plastic out.

For me, I do not use that already because after a while, you'll already know how to gauge the meshing by feel and sight.:nod:

with the new servo saver,where is the best position for the steering links on top or bottom?

Just answering your question about the new servo saver and steering linkage mounting, I think you need to mount the steering link at the bottom. Else, it will rub.

1 mm droop

How is that calculated? On the droop gauge (+1) or by lifting the chassis up 1 mm from the ride height before the front wheels start to lift of the ground?

Are those dish type rims or the ones with the +2 offset?

What was your front and rear trackwidth?

Cool B4. :cool: Let us know how it goes and please do not forget to share your setup.:sweat:

Congrats to the team rcpanama. ;) I think that the UTI / LT combo in the rear makes the rear RC a little higher than stock UBI / LB. Perhaps with a front diff it is a better combo since the slightly higher rear RC will make the rear of the car rotate better.:nod:

It is hard to say without seeing your track but TR is correct. If you are using a oneway and not braking at all, then I would say you should be able to make up close to half a second of a lap with using your brakes

Yes, I notice that braking is much more possible with the oneway when the rear sway bar is set harder ! The car tracks straight even when the rear wheels lock. The new Ellegi tires also makes this possible. I notice a lot more traction under braking.

D, Good question, We were going through this the other day

We measure the droop as per the serpent setup book.

+1mm on the droop gauge with the right blocks under the car.

The tyres sparksy has are rubbish :sneaky: He was running them to get rid of them. They are Fast tyres no offset i think

He was runnin g 198 F and 200 R track width
