Or you can just flip the spacers already on the car from when you built the kit. Lol

Linked is the scan of the UMW705, UMW706 and UMW707 instructions. It contains both an eccentrics chart and a reference to the other holders.

Gotta question, what do the shims that go between the caster block and chasis do? I see that the kit comes with different choices, but don't knowmwhat the effects on handling might be...


Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. Do I need to run the hinge pin bushings, if so which ones, plastic, metal or delrin? Thx,

Also, when should one run toe-in at the hub versus at the arm?

Yes you will still need bushings. I stayed with the delrin.

As for the other question regarding toe-in, when you change it at the arm's inner position you are changing wheelbase and dog bone angle. I tend to agree with Dan Griffin's statement on the matter. http://www.rctech.net/forum/7806219-post4.html

Yeah, like what do you know about these toy cars?

Oh, and thanks for setting up my RB6. I spent the whole day with it yesterday and it was completely dialed. I didn't even have to switch to my Beams as my ghosted (almost bald) pressure points even provided plenty of traction. I even let Lacey drive it and even he was almost able to keep the thing on the track.

Thx. If the out-B pairing is stock kit (wide 3 degrees) would you know which combo equates narrow 3 degrees?

I use the AE 12mm pistons.

GHEA makes some too, but they are about 7.00 more. The AE ones fit perfect.

the other issue with changing toe inboard is corner entry isnt consistent do to binding in the output cups.. i used to run the wide rear and narrow front hangers on my rt5 to get more forward bite and the truck would sometimes get sketchy on entry. BUT that is a dramatic amount of toe. As i always say the only way to see how it works for you is to try it out

Negative...the AE pistons (at least the tapered ones) DO NOT fit perfect. They are not a thick as the Kyosho pistons and need shimming to be right or your going to get an inconsistent feel. Not to mention a clicking sound from them slapping against the e clips inside.

The GHEA's as mentioned, are a perfect fit - no shimming needed.

Thanks for posting the instructions. So which configuration creates the narrow setup at 3.0? It looks like In-B/In-B, In-C/In-C, or In-D/In-D could all equal the narrow rear setup at 3.0.

The "In-C" would equate to the narrow setup if you are currently using the UMW511/UMW512 narrow suspension hangers according to the reference provided in the document.
