i have a question about the AE setup sheets and rear toe.
i havent seen where they specify which rear suspension mount they use? is it implied that they are using the 2.5* unless otherwise stated? it always says what rear hubs they use, but never which arm mount....
maybe im blind but could someone help me out with this? thanks.

I thought I had read in the past that more toe at the wheels gave you more traction but toe inboard was better for bumps? I too would really like to know the effects this has on the car? what would happen if I put a full degree or 1.5 degree at the wheel and 1.5 inboard?
I dont race on a typical track for todays standards... very bumpy dry and dusty and the jump layout is more designed for 1/8th scales.

Dan Griffin describes it well:
Changing the toe block changes the inboard toe. Increasing inboard toe in general provides more overall traction and makes the car more mechanically stiff. The downside of inboard toe is it can decrease cornerspeed.
Changing the outboard toe (hub carriers) is generally a mechanically softer change, and would be better suited for lots of sweeping corners. It also feels like a more subtle change.
The toe blocks also change the wheelbase of the car more than the hubs.

Thinking of getting a B4.1. I don't want to read through hundreds of pages...
What are the weak areas of the car? I will be racing on a small/mid sized track. What are some immediate upgrades?
Thanks
