XRAY - Model racing cars

I've read it somewhere that when you use the aluminum knuckles you should use the stock steering plate with shims, and when you use the plastic knuckles, you should use the 3-d plate with shims.

I am about to put on my aluminum knuckles, and i am wondering if i should leave the 3-d plate on, or put on the stock plate. Where do the shims go??

Can someone clarify this please, cause i am not sure.

Thanks

Hi

Just go for the alu with the 3D plate. This is not a problem. You can shimm if you want something in between the standard and 3D plate.

Thanks Peter.

I appreciate the quick response.
I will try both.

No, there are no limitations that when you use alu steering blocks you have to use 3D steering plate and vice versa.

I have tried both
I have for the moment the alu blocks with standard plate
the alu blocks steeringarms are lower and give more trow

there is just still a little toeing-out appearing
near the full droop lower position
but my front suspension upperrod is in the outer holes at the uprights..?
shouls check when in the inner hole..

so you should shim at the plate end by 1 mm
to get the the most medium position of the steeringrods

no it's the shims under the rodends at the plate ends,
to get a symetric angle
on the steeringrods, so no toeing-out occurs

Thanks guy, i'll wait for your results of your test.
I'm still waiting for my aluminum knuckles to come in anyways.

I just used some spare washers i had around.
