had a good time at the Kamloops WCICS Championship Leg two weeks ago with this car,

easy to drive, rear end was extra planted, remove rear droop if you want even more rear off power grip.

question in regards to droop where it is set Over Ride Height. What does this mean and how do you go about setting the droop to ORH. apologies for noob question, coming from 1/8th scale offroad to onroad has been a big culture shock

with the tires on the car measure the car's ride-height, then slowly lift up the car until the tires are about to come oof the ground and measure the cars ride height again. that's your droop

here is a video i found to show you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQt6iv175mw

Here is a simple method to measure:

5 club races, 4 practice nights, and two WCICS race weekends on the car now (75 packs), and not a single broken or bent part. I have been running a soft bumper for the last 3 weeks too. I am ridiculously impressed; i was worried that the car would be fragile. I run on tight indoor tracks that have hard unforgiving corners and i have had many huge crashes, and i haven't even had to trim the steering after any of the crashes. I haven't had to refill the shocks order diff yet.

I need some help to get more mechanical grip I installed a vertical top deck. The deck has too close of clearance to the belts. I have 2mm spacer under the mount and a belt tensioner bearing to help the mount to have enough clearance to not tension the belt too much!





Am I doing something wrong?

You have the mounts upside down. The screw that goes in the upper deck goes between the two rear and front spool holders.

Wow I can keep my vertical deck! Nice!

But I'm pretty worried I cannot install links in the rear, the lower deck under the rear belt will suffer a lot...

If your talking about the links for the rear steer, I think you'll still have room. The VTD mounts run inboard of the bulkhead, so if you're off the third screw on the suspension block, you should be ok. JMO

Nope, I'm talking about the turnbuckles we have to mount between the center shaft block and the rear bulkhead to avoid extreme flex... at least with the cf chassis...

I'm not sure which turnbuckles you are refereeing to either. I'm curious to see a picture of what you are describing.
