Use a piece of plastic wrap, place over the bearing hole, and push the bearing through into the wheel. If that's too tight, just apply an tiny amount of 150-200k grease inside the wheel bearing hole and re-insert the bearing. This should ensure it does not spin inside the wheel and add enough tack to prevent it from falling out when you remove the wheel.

I still have a few of these plates left if anyone needs some under electronics weight for your car. I'll go $12 shipped for both nose plates, add in battery plates for $2 on this deal!

I ran these for a bit before the steel chassis, if you don't want to sink the $$$ for the chassis plate then these plates are the way to go. They fit perfect and can get the weight more on the nose.

RE: Steel chassis plates

This is what I find frustrating about Excelerate - parts are released with zero input as to how they are supposed to be installed and / or adjusted.

I am building a car for a friend, and he has the steel chassis upgrade. The part comes in a bag with no instructions. From following this forum, I find it needs shims - whether it is 4 or 8 and how it impacts steering geometry, I am not sure. I go to Excelerate FB page to find more info, and in a comment it is mentioned that the CF front braces are not needed as well...........

I can't imagine it would take much effort to share how the parts are designed to be used.

Welcome to Thunder Dome. Two men enter, the one that can figure shit out leaves...

Thanks - can always count on you for sage advice ..

I went with 8 shims - 4 to the battery tray and 4 under the front suspension mount - makes the most sense. Also - there are no holes for the rear of the front carbon braces - so no front carbon braces.

Good news - apparently the new kits come with the Pro Kingpins and Pro Kingpin adjusters - Bad news - no instructions ...... back to the Thunder Dome.

No longer have time for this , if anyone is interested hit me up.

Would love to see a setup sheet from those who ran their prodigy F1 at the VTA nationals last week at apex

Very cool design. Can’t wait to turn some laps with it
I still need to learn how to set things like ride heights and droop on it but I’m excited to learn a new platform

What brand of spurs are people using? I've blown through 2 already and want something a bit more durable. Was thinking Kimbrough but not sure if those would fit the axle.

We have murdered both Excelerate and Robinson gears, make sure the two screws that hold the axle down are tight. If they loosen up it gets really bad, I ended up going to a 3x12 on ours.

RW gears. The stock spurs from excelerate are way too flimsy and fragile for 1/10 f1. They'll work fine on a tc.

I have been adding a small drop of blue Loctite to the two screws that hold the axle tube on. I've only had one loosen up on my 1/12th, but once is enough to make that small fix.

What other hidden gems of information could you share? I just picked up my F1 and currently building my prodigy 12. I'll take all the help I can get!
