I assume if we take the rear bumper off and stand the car vertically on it's rear end, using an RPM camber gauge should accurately measure the rear toe in on either side...used to do this with my Predator T1 to get it right...

Simon, You are correct, this car can have the rear toe checked in the same manner.

i am racing on a tight track i think. about a 100ft straightaway. the track temp will be about 100 degrees, maybe less. it is a sedan road course in a parking lot. asphalt. i like to drive smooth but if needed will be aggresive. i have the graphite plus xxxs, not the standard one if that helps

Hey, does anyone know what kind of servo horn Todd Hodge was using in the Magazine... Got some big races coming up and im gonna move back to the servo horn again. I will risk it at a big race.

xxxkat.... thats what i meant.... ive been sniffing the traction compound again.

I was pitting across from Todd at the Ca. state champs race and he was not using a servo saver,just a servo horn,but he can afford servos..

I use run a KO servo and just recently switched to the a straight arm. Since it's a KO servo I went to the KO arm.

Yea but you dont crash..

I have always run just a arm on the servo and never broke ever in 3 years with the same servo

I personally run the stock servo saver with a extra spring on it.Even ran a servo saver at the ROAR Nat's running foam Modified..Not one problem with the steering.

Hey guy's,here is a set up I think you might want to try if you race on a medieum traction track or parking lot.If you try it let me know what you think,and if you got something else in mind lets start posting set-ups and compare.

Hi Brian,

Was that track sprayed and did you happen to try a spool with that?

Mark

tufferwilde

Make sure you don't use the AE ones!!! They have a nasty tendency to break on ya!!

BrianJ

Mark D.,I ran that set-up one two seperate day's once with traction layed down and once without(on practice day's are track doesnt use sugar water) .I would say it worked better when the track was sprayed,but still was pretty good without the traction added.As far as trying a spool,no I have not tried this with this set-up,cant make it to the Reedy race so I am practicing for National's w/oneway.Maybe this weekend I will give the spool a try.I am spending alot of time at my local track(which is a large 100x160 permanent track similar to the track in NC)working on all kinds of different set-ups,I will keep you posted.

Thanks,
Brian Jucha

Im going to try to make it out to NC. If I get a chance I will try the setup on another car this weekend in Roseville. I have not seen the track in NC- is it mainly radius turns and open?

Hey thats my local track in NC...

the website for the track is www.thercspeedway.com

here is a pic of the track..

The layout will probably be way more technical than it looks there.


Let me know if yall have any questions...
