XRAY - Model racing cars

had a t1r and had a set up book with it, got a 05 secondhand and no set up book and none on site?

adding a spacer in the front wishbone to add toe out to the arm, what will this do?

Mark,

This is called in-board toe-out which is explained in this thread:

Please take a look at the and threads. They should be able to answer most of your questions concerning the FK05. I'll be adding a post to one of these threads concerning in-board toe-out soon.

Thanks TEAMGP will be testing it today ....!

One other question I run on an asphalt outdoor track that does not have a lot of grip ...! Is running droop measured on the Hudy gauge of 1 front and 4 rear sound about right?

It really depends on your overall setup. Typically, the rear droop will be anywhere from -1 to +2 from the front setting. I normally run a more stiff front end and like my rear downstop to be one number less than the front setting. This allows the rear of the chassis to raise up more on corner entry to provide enough steering, rather than going the traditional route of softening up the front springs.

This type of setup is best suited for drivers that like immediate steering. But for drivers that feel their car may be a bit "twitchy", softening the front springs and running a rear downstop or +1 or +2 is best.
