[QUOTE=yyhayyim]Thanks Jon...well the Hb Cyclones run 2.5 deg block of front inboard toe, or as you refer to it "sweep", and it comes stock like that. I have driven them and they have lots of steering...it seems to work fine for their cars...QUOTE]


I happen to run a cyclone WCE and thinking about switching to a MAch. the cyclone does come with 2.5 degree pivot block and a 3 degree in the back. I run on carpet so the only change that I did was in the front. I changed it to a 0 degree pivot block.

I know that when you use pivot blocks in the front of the HB cyclone the lower the number the less steering that you will have. That is the reason why i went to a 0 degree in the front because I didn't want my cart to be darty on Carpet. 2.5 in the front is great for rubber tire onroad. so the more degrees you add to the front, the more steering you get.

In the rear, the higer the degree on the pivot block, the more rear traction you have. The cyclone came with stock 3.0 in the back and I haven't changed it because I need the grip in the rear of the car.

Now I don't know what effects this has on the Mach but I just wanted to add some input since I drive a cyclone.

When you go about setting up your car what order do you perform your setup in? This is what I do below (in order) but is this way ideal or do you recommend something better?

1. Droop - With the chassis flat on the ground measuring to the top of the drive axle.
2. Camber (front and rear)
3. Toe In/Out (front)
4. Ride Height
5. Check tweak between runs by pushing the car up in the center of the chassis with an exacto knife and then adjusting the droop screws accordingly

I understand and appreciate your sincere help. I just wanted to make sure, that's all...by the way, I did some research, and it looks like you are tight with PW and Adrian, so...that makes your input that much valuable and credible...supposedly your a very good driver and have every car out in the market...good driver, with deep pockets and a good boss- cant beat that

Here's the order I do all of this.

1. Set your ride height.
2. Set your droop above ride height.
3. Take tires off and use droop blocks to make sure your droop is even. (This isn't to actually set your droop, only to make sure both sides are even. Use this time to make sure the chassis is flat on the droop blocks and not rocking back and forth.)
4. Put on setup station to check camber and toe.
5. Take off setup station and put on tires.
6. Check tweak on a tweak station or by lifting one end at a time. Don't adjust by droop screws. You've already made sure the droop is equal on both sides. Use your shock collars. If you have to have too much of a difference in your preload, double check your droop settings and that the chassis is flat.
