Cheers for the pointers.

This is the first thing I would check for sure. I make sure my circles are the same at the beginning of every race day. Also, depending on what carpet your running on, glue is normally the second thing I would suggest checking. After that, camber, king pins (bent) or the lack of free movement in the front end could cause this as well. Take the front springs off and make sure the kingpin drops through with no bind under its own weight. Other than that, make sure the car goes on a tweak station before every run.
I had someone help me with my 1/12. They said circles aren't necessary after he adjusted the steering angles on both sides to 18 degrees on both left and right..
The droop thing is what confuses me.
#2749
I measure front droop with the amount of sag on the front end at static ride height. Obviously, both should be the same on each side. I tend to run just enough to see that they are both equal on each side. Maybe 1/2mm on each side.
I always run the rear pod level or just a little lower in the front (.2mm). From that measurement in the front of pod, pull up on the top of the shock mount and measure again. That’s your rear droop setting.
hope this makes sense😂

I had tweak in my car for almost 2 months and it wasnt until this weekend i realized it was a collapsed spring. I swapped it out and voila the car was fixed. I went thru droop, a busted rear carbon plate (which i didnt realize was busted) and installed that back square, put it on a statiom, which im trying to get away from and it was still screwed up. Wasnt until i checked the front springs was my problem fixed. After that i swapped out both front and sides and car was good.
i tend to just leave my springs in for a long time. Ill clean the front end and reinstall the old springs but now i know to swap them out more frequently

Ok so I had a large race this past weekend and completely blew it! OMG so after over viewing my set-up I have some questions. So by rasing the tubes on the outside by 4mm and putting 10k in the tubes what have a caused the car to do with .45 side springs and black center spring with 35 wt losi shock oil. Also glue on the front tires can you all show me how you are cluing your tires...off to the track at this point cause Im pissed how bad I f'ed up...

I disagree with the idea that only the red spring should be used. On a tight track, jumping up to a green allows the rear end to rotate just a little quicker. Also, for any new CRC drivers, the manual for the Gen-Xi has a helpful tuning guide in the back that clearly explains what most setup changes do. Why CRC didn’t put this in the CK25’s (crappy) printer paper manuals is beyond me.

I am looking for an Xi manual. If anyone has one they can email me copy of I would gladly pay for your time.
I need the part numbers in it to get parts ordered for my car Monday. Have a trophy race next Friday and my rear lower pod plate is tweaked and can’t get it flat again.
