Same car-just with the 350 on it instead. Same servo and PT goes with the suspension.

Tor Erik, are you running on asphalt/bumpy carpet and are you running the BMI Towers? If you want to gain more steering back, kill the kick-up (unless your track isn't flat) and put about 1-2mm shims under the camberlinks on the Chubs front and back
Thanks for your advice KidDynomite !

Do you have any picture of a car with shims under the camberlinks ? just so I clearly understand what to do ?

I'm racing on a indoor carpet track that are a little bumpy some places, and I use the stock Xray towers.

Thx

Tor Erick, gotta go to work, but post your setup on the Xray thread, I'm sure we can help you out there. My camera is out of commission so I don't know if I can get you a pic anytime soon.

Tor Erik- I do not have much practice on carpet but I If you put shims under your front camberlinks you will take traction away, at least coming into the corner. Middle and exit however, should improve as a result of more "roll".

If you shim the rear it would give you more steering coming in and middle, but would lose some exit speed as a stiffer camber link or Lower will tend to keep the rear end from breaking loose.


Hope that helps.....


P.S. Thanks Steve

How much would the 350 xray chassis be? I only need the bottom chassis. I already have the old style 350 with the top deck, front and rear shock towers.
