Korey,

When do you find it best to use the 1.0/1.0 or 1.5/1.5 blocks in the front instead of the standard rear front mount? Is it only for high bite or does it make the car feel odd and you don't use it normally? Also, when you do this does this push the width of the car out to far to meet ROAR specs? DO you then use the thin hexes to get the width in spec?

Thanks

I use those when grip is very high... usually only on carpet it seems. I use all the standard blocks when on asphalt... usually results in more steering. I still think they are better most of the time.

I know this should be asked on the TCX thread but because it was brought up here and I know you use them, was there any provision for running the 1.5/1.5 or 2.0/2.0 front end mod on the TCX ? Are there extra holes and special blocks provided ?

I'm pretty sure it has the holes (not 100% on that) but the main reason to use the wider blocks before was to lengthen the front camber link beyond what we could before. Now that the TCX has longer links anyway, I don't see it being needed.

But... I'm not 100% sure as I have never run the TCX yet. I'll try it and let everyone know once mine arrives.

Well guys, after two race weekends on my new POM diff, i find that its not up to snuff for me. i think the alloy diff from the MooreSpeed edition will hold up better. the plastic one has to go

I disagree my diff. POM TC is much more resistant of Moorespeed version (at least 10.5)

I also use EXOTEK chassis and upper deck cut with a very similar setup, only F/R 500cps oil shock (in Italy is very hot right now ...) and this setup works very well without modification FR-RF.

You should be fine with that. I run setups similar to that on parking lots a lot! So it should be a decent starting point.

I had to jump on it ASAP. I already have 1 Cyclone TC that I run in 17.5 and I like the setup features of the chassis more than any of the other cars that run in this area.

And the support in this forum is a big plus also.

Hara won TITC 2010 and Andy was 4th at this year's EFRA Championships in France.
