How does the upper rear camber link effect the trucks handling? Shorter or longer and how it effects on-off power steering and stability? |

MD Jammin, I recently started testing ride height with the truck. The truck feels much more planted, stable, and responsive every since I started running arms level both front and rear. I run the long camber links in the front and rear to give the truck more stability. If you go in 'shorter' it will be more responsive. Our truck has tons if steering so adding more kick up and caster aided my trucks stability.The off power steering was not affected at all. I've been cutting down my tires and running the GRP standard offsett 'tall' wheels. Very similar to the new proline LPR tire and wheels comming out. This tire and wheel combination provides the truck with the responsiveness and ultra quick directional changes. Xray Light Blue springs work awesome on the truck. It gives the truck the much needed forgivness to push it hard without getting upset. It's a hair slower than the dark blues, but consistency is better with the softer springs. Preference I guess. |

I run the hub camber links in the outside location as well (front and rear). I tried the middle hole on the rear (on the hub) and the truck was more responsive, but when it came around (the back end), it came around quickly. I put em back to the outside and it suits me better...I also raised the front kickup a bit (to 5 degrees) and run 0 inserts in the front upper arms (stock is 1 up). That helped my off power steering |

Believe it or not the Radical 628 isn't like most .28's. If your familliar with Radicals its like combining the torque of the T and top of the P. Its not overly powerfull, but does require a little less in the center diff I think ![]() It gets 8.5 min to the tank which is the biggest reason I like it. Looks like Futaba is out for me. The wife made late plans Sunday so I'm stuck at the local event on Sunday. Low10's: Thanks for the advice. I got the Xray cause I was tired of fooling with my Jammin. I'm getting aquainted with the setup (I think). I never messed with the caster, camber gain, or kickup and anti-squat on my Jammin so I've got some new adjustments to learn....which is cool. I just want to get this thing going the way I had my last truck. After the Xray, everything should be cake though!!! |
