Can you post your setup?

Here's mine... liking it so far for indoor clay.

The +1 adds Ackermann so at full lock the outside wheel will turn less than with the standard.
I was wondering if it would help the guy who thinks his car is a dog in the turns.
But if it makes the wheel turn less, it seems like taking ackerman away would make more sense.

That is not what I am saying at all. The car is a proven winning platform.I just need some ideas on what to try to improve my setup since I don't have the opportunity to practice.

Thanks for sharing that. I see you're using a little more anti-squat and the +1 rear hub insert. I'm sticking with the standup transmission for now (not much choice about that, until laydown kits become available again). I'm confident that it can be just as good on anything this side of very-high traction, which our track is definitely not.

On the bump steer spacing, do you not have any spacers on top or bottom?
And on the steering block, do you have the arm in the A or B hole?
Are the front Grey springs better than the white springs?
Do you have a good turning radius with -1 camber in the rear?

I race my Stock Slash and B6D latemodel on loose dirt so I run the gear cover on both.
Usually I race both the same day as well. I turn one extra lap with my B6D at 35 laps, my stock slash I get 34.

I let the engineers figure this stuff out. All I know is that I added these for more aggressive steering on our tight layouts at Dirt Heaven and they worked. Dave, I would say they're an option for you right now. Assuming you'll get the lay down at some point, they might then be too much for the more open corners Trackside usually has.

Your posts are like listening to someone talk on the phone. Or like I only heard one statement in the middle of a conversation.
Not trying to be mean, its just very random, and a little confusing.

I race oval I don't race offroad here. Oval took over so I have no choice to race oval.
If offroad does come back I probably wont go back to it, just because I invested too much time and money into oval racing. My friends are Racing B6 converted sprints I'm running a latemodel. But the point I'm getting across were running the same chassis so we get along.

Anyone having front end push issues? I can't get my b6D to turn. Got the laydown and the 25g brass C block with alum D block. Running 4 toe 2 anti squat. Seems like I can't get it to turn unless i hit the brakes before i make my turn.

Sorry, but.......no Threads often have discussions that end up being off topic, which is the nature of forums. But random completely unrelated posts that have nothing to do with anything that's being talked about.

My local hobby shop has a laydown conversion kit hanging on the wall. It might be worth giving them a call?

Ask for Matthew. He might be willing to ship it to you.

I have a feeling Matthew is going to get a lot of calls right now.

#1 question, how much wheel time do you have with a 2wd buggy?
