FINALLY!!!
Got to run the car today.
Broke the left front arm on the third lap after wedging the car under a Road Rail.
Of course, i had the V2 arms ready to go. Swapped them in and no problems the rest of the day. I used some beat VTA tires for the maiden voyage. I wanted to see what type of grip i would get before ordering some proper F1 rubber.
Amazingly, I had excellent rear grip. I'm pushing like a dump truck and lifting the inside wheel in the sweeper. I need to get some springs to aid in tuning, but i'm very happy so far.

As far as setup we have started to get the FGX's working pretty good on our hi-grip carpet track
Front:
0561 Shimizu soft tires
Silver optional front king pin springs
king pin turned upside down no middle e-clip single 1 mil shim under steering block 5.0mm ride height
1 degree neg camber
4 deeg Castor (using link susp)
.05 toe out
Sauce 1/2 inside tire
Rear:
565 Shimizu Soft Tires
5.5mm ride height
2mm droop over ride height
2 hole piston with 65wt
2degree neg camber
1degree rear toe
Sauce full tire
1000CST diff lube
1.3mm sway bar
cars started really working well and stopped the snap traction roll we were getting with the cars when we had more front and rear camber. More testing today, should have 4 to 6 of them out at the track today

http://www.tqrcracing.com/shop/produ...yword=&pg_no=2
rabbit conversion needs them to mount the shocks and brace to the topdeck,cant use ballstud as it has countersink screw up underneath
thanks

tried a new set up at Camarillo ( outdoor asphalt ) this weekend... it rocked !
5mm ride height...
medium Tamiya springs up front...
lube front king pins
0 degree toe out front
soft F201 rear springs
no sway bar
Shimizu soft fronts
Shimizu soft rears... yada, yada...
But the most important thing... 3 degree rear toe and use the thin Tamiya F103 style dense foam insert so you can feel the air gap in the rear tire...
The car is planted... I'm using a 35 spur with a 36 pinion... top speed is good but could be a little better... I think if I dremel out the motor mount hole I could fit in a 38 pinion might be better...
