Anyone got a new or lightly used xray t3'12 bottom chassis I can buy?

Problem solved, yes I can see those shims will make it much easier. Thanks for the tip, I'll give them a try. I never had an issue with the single post design, but I always ran carpet and used a center post.
The car seems to be continued development for asphalt racing, I hope we carpet guys are not left in the dust and we will see some option parts to make it stiffer. Since the center post seems to have gone MIA, I hope to see something like the carbon fiber steering brace much like the 417.
I guess my only request would still be pivot ball toe blocks and a solid motor mount. I'm looking forward to building this car come fall.
How did the new car perform at the worlds? I read a lot about the luck factor, but it appears many of the drivers didn't do well. Anyone out there get to see what happened first hand? Just wondering if the short shock system didn't work out so well or if there were other problems.

Watched it on liverc.com.
The not making the a-main was mainly tire strategy gone wrong, with the weather messing it up. With that saind they seemd to be lacking some pace, and i think at best they would have ended in the lower a-main at qualy.
Hagberg and Pauls cars seemd very good in their finals, putting on some entertaining runs. Paul from far back on the grid.

Hagbergs final time was one second off jilles and hara's time.. so their pace was very good. The only reason they didnt make A-main is cause they had the wrong tyre strategy for qualifying.

I know this issue has been beaten to a pulp, but I'm getting frustrated and out of solutions...
I've switched right components with left components including rear hubs, arms, suspension holders, 1.50mm washers, switched entire suspension, switched what hudy device used, wheel hexes, I even bought the one piece front rear suspension holder....everything I tried end up with 2 degrees toe on the left and the right will vary from 3.1 to 4 degrees. I've taken everything apart and rebuilt/rescrewed....
Whenever I use a washer on the left to compensate, the right just increases. I put in a washer almost double the size apprx 3mm on the left and finally got 3 degrees, but then the right was at 4 degrees.
I spent half a grand on this car and this issue is making me really question my decision.
In my past experience I notice a great difference in driving with even rear toe than uneven...so I'm not just OCD, this thing drives like garbage with the toe being 1 degree different and I'm not that good of a driver to drive it like this....

Seriously, in these situations you have to just tear the car down and put it back together piece by piece checking between each step to find the part with the problem. You will find it...but you have to be thorough.
