is it just me or does the Rony 1/8th body look exactly like the serpent central body?

The oval alum. hinge pin holders look really cool. It would be nice not to have slop in the front upper arms.

Steve! How are you?

I think the roll center spacers are for the rear lower arm my friend. Theyre like the original PLUS one more adjustment, so technically theres 5 adjustments total now instead of the standard 3. Its super fine tuning. The Rony body from what i've head just doesnt have the eyebrows that the central body has. But not too sure on that so dont hold me to it.

See you at the nats Steve?

Nothing yet! But they do look good!

The rear uprights themselves have 3 positions for the rear upper arm, allowable for an even shorter or even longer length link, as well as the standard position.

I’ve just installed the new WOS steering blocks. Can anyone who has used them help me out? Why are they numbered 1 & 2 as apposed to L & R? And what are the different steering responses for the 2 different eccentric offsets?

Mark:

The steering blocks are numbered 1 for right and 2 for left,if you remember the old WOS steering blocks did not have any marks to determine wich side they were for,the new ones used in the defualt position wich is 1 right and 2 left give you more turn in at corner entry,if you flip them arround 2 right and 1 left you will get more on power steering at corner exit,the ecentrics are for raising the axles strait,hope this info help...

We have been running them 2 right and 1 left...

Roniel,
Thanks. I have talked to Paolo since my post and his explanation was quite different. I may be confused now. He said 1 left and 2 right is the normal position. If you use them as 1 right and 2 left it gives more steering. And by moving the axle up it has more steering into corner and with the axle down it has more steering out of corner.

With "old" you mean the WOS blocks for the Vector, veteq, 950 and 950R?....

1 block has 4 "dots" as far as I know....
