Andy, Mike, Paolo or anyone else able to add a bit more clarity?

C@T, thanks for your input, but I'm still not certain how these parts will effect the handling of the car.

regards-
Eric

The difference is the king pin angle. The normal 600497 has the king pin angled in at the top. 600611 is straight up and down 0°.

Normally, the king pin angled in is smoother but gives you less steering overall. I use 600611 because it has a more steering and a more round corner feeling.

To be clear, the king pin orientation on the 600497 part is 'like' negative camber? If so, by how much?

Thank you for your description. Very helpful.

Will this be added to the setup sheet?

that is the best combination for me so far!
600611 & 600694. a lot more steering and better Tire wear.

Yes thats the setup you want. Overall to me the steering felt much more linear throguh the corners. As I turned the wheels slightly the car would turn slightly consistently through the whole turn radius. The 10 deg setup feels much more like steering is on a curve. So as you turn in the steering at first its aggressive, tame in the middle and very aggressive at full turn.

The Setup DeSoto mentioned will give you very consistent linear steering through all corners and overall make the car smoother to drive. Tire wear is a big plus as well. Hope that makes sense

Hello guys, I'm looking for TiN coated shock shafts, the standard ones doesnt last more than one week without rusting. Ive seen some for other serpent cars but not for the GT. Help.

Alpha R3 body and I want to say GRP wheels and tires. Not 100% on wheels.

Thank you! Where can I get the Alpha R3 body in the states?

Only place I found it:
http://www.serpentamerica.com/shop/p...9&cat=0&page=1

I looked at GRP but the wheels in the picture seem to have more of a concave or lower offset to them.

Maybe these are the wheels?

Do they make the 0 degree hubs in plastic? Or do I only use O degree hubs with 0 degree steering blocks?

I purchased the 10 degree plastic hubs for now.
