Default 7MM upright spacer

Guys,
First I must say the info on this site has helped me
to better "understand" some of the irregularities of this car,
and to correct them or make it better. Thanks...........


Initial D / Nizee,

My track is a little slick (new asphalt poured just for r/c racing)
I tried the 5mm spacers- still had alot of
camber change when the suspension "worked".
So I am currently running no spacers on the uprights, ( don't
forget to cut the screws down so they don't rub on the
bearings or wheelaxles) and the rear shocks are on the
bulkhead with Trinity 37 weight oil, an one hole
pistons/ yellow springs, total of 4 degrees toe-in ( 2 per side). And it works alot better for rear traction.

My car has tons of off power, and on-power it sometimes
oversteers.

I am getting ready to try a "new" set-up tonight, will see what happens?


Modellor,
Hows the chassis coming?
