OK i have gone and done it now , i have just ordered the car. Well after how well i went with the EVO III & EVO III SE cars i carn't wait to get my hands on this car.

What type of toe blocks are they using on this car as the old blocks on the EVO III were not the same as the EVO IV as i will most likely need to order some ?

Starting to think if i get cut i will bleed tamiya blood.

Check the toe block Excel spreadsheet on this page:

That is an awesome spreadsheet. Thanks for posting up the link and tryhard's website for hosting it. Very very helpful.

Because from the pics...
the kit comes with
1 xA Block
2 D Blocks
1 E Block

IF the chart works perfectly well with the EVO V as with the EVO IV...
Looks like 2 setups (I would like to run) come with the EVO V:

0.5 deg toe out front
2.5 deg toe in rear

or

0 deg toe front
3 deg toe in rear

Forgot to mention it comes with 0 degrees hubs

I would post mine but it's still in pieces lol. The garage has been an oven lately and you know how working on carbon fiber bits along with the associated dust in hot environments can be. Yeah, wet sanding helps but still

Maybe this weekend, I'll do an Arts and Crafts day at the track and put it together.

The steering looks wild on this car. I was looking at my evo 4 and the pics of the 5, what a difference. They should have just made all the metal parts blue on the car. The new heat sink looks sick. I liked the metal T support on my Evo 4 MS. This car should have came with that, it really cleans up the look of the car…

jhigga... finished building mine last night... YES the steering on the evoV is very nice. its very smooth and has ZERO slop. the heatsink has some long fins and is very very light.

can rocks get caught under the steering since its so low?

what blocks (that come stock with the evo v) will u be running hebiki?

the distance between the steering set up and the chassis is probably 1mm. maybe less? so i think the chance of a rock getting caught in there will be very rare.

the stock blocks for the EvoV are as follows: (if i remember correctly)

FF: D
FR: D

RF: XA
RR: E

ill confirm tonight when i get home.

rcnewb2004

That's awesome... does that translate to:
Front 0 degree toe
Rear 3 degree toe in?

weekendracer_uk

Dunno if this has been asked before but are the diff's the same size as the EVO IV i.e. will we be able to put a spool for the EVO IV into the EVO V ??

exactly. without purchasing extra toe blocks.. you can achieve the following also . (someone posted this earlier).

Front Toe Out: +0.5 deg
FF: E
FR: D

Rear Toe In: +2.5 deg
RF: XA
RR: D

pix? ill try to take some tonight. new job is killing me.

When you have time hebiki, checkout which setup seems to run "better"

i know that is super subjective and depends on 9000 parameters... but i guess just sorta describe how u feel about each setup...

i have been told the 3 degree toe in in the rear feels better on this car... but that seems like a lot of toe in....
