Thanks Eric!

All of my local tracks use Jack (we affectionally call Jack the Slipper). It's good for touring cars, but it's challenging for 12th scale guys. Jack gets the tires gummy about 6 minutes into a run causing the car to oversteer. The weight bias helps with the "gummies', but if you want to bolt in instant grip to your t-bar ride.... try one of these out. I call them LRCS or low roll center sockets. The ball sits .050" lower, so does the machined socket in the one piece delrin. It does not rake the t-bar or cause clearance issues. The ball is hard coated to last a long time. The 12th scale socket (#116) comes with blue and red 2-56 replacement screws while the 10th scale oval kit (#117) comes with 2 lrcs with either red or blue screws. If you run an oval car ( I know..... 12th scale thread) with a 3 shock rear end without tweak screws, you need two sockets or you will rake the pivot center line.

If your local track gets rolled out every weekend or is just low to med in grip, these sockets are worth a try. If you race on asphalt ....mmmm.... a must! If you race with Paragon, you can probably skip these. Big race like Cleveland, IIC or 'Birds.... too much grip there, it will bind the car down. I use them as a tuning aid when the track is green and when it gets soaked with Jack.
