XRAY - Model racing cars

Thanks Tony. I'll test the toe out settings today. I was also wondering if maybe I should try a shorter wheel base also to get more weight over the rear end and then dial out the EPA to get rid of the tighter steering it would provide.

Col,

For dialing in rear toe, I've switched from using the plastic clips to using cone washers from a Losi diff (yep I was racing a XXXs before I bought the FK). They are exactly .5 mm thick and if you mount them with the outer edge towards the bulkhead they will seat flat when tightening down.

You can also use motor shims. With those you can even use 0.2mm shims for even finer tuning of the toe-in.

Running a shorter wheelbase will probably help too but I'd try each change in order so you know what effect you like best.

Hi tony

i think i manged to get my car sorted out last night

the back end felt to me planted but prob to others it wasnt must be how i drive

the only diffrence is the i had reduced the rear toe in to 2mm from 3 or 2.5 and had 35 weight oil in front shocks and 30 weight in the rear

i figured that if i put slightly thicker oil in the front that it would reduce the weight transfer to the front and wouldent make the rear end light thus stopping the rear flicking out i think!!

also the stratus 3 is unbeliveably responsive and twitchy

cheers
