I think he is using the 30 deg castor blocks. I suggested the following:
More toe out
25 or 20 degree castor blocks
zero degree rear hubs (he has 1.5 degree rear arm mounts and 1.5 degree rear hubs on it)
40wt in all 4 shocks (he currently has 40 in back, 30 in front)

anti-squat is the same for all unless you shim more/less under the rear blocks--Brandon sounds right on the money with the changes to me, but I would change one thing at a time so you get a
feel for what change has what effect

Hey jsrracing, I like how you trimmed the sides of the chassis to fit the body. Can you show some top and bottom views of it. I acquired one of this chassis and I am making plans to trim it.
The car looks nice. :mrgreen:

got this back from( [email protected])I've looked through the photos and can't find one of the sprint
car without body and wing but I'll keep on looking.
As far as I can tell, we should have rc10 kits by the end of next
week.
Ray




does anybody here have a pic of one of these kits with no body and wing mostly how the rear end sets up .

yes it is mid motor . i will try to get some more pic up
awsome kit !!!!

the race went pretty good even though i got my ars kicked. (first oval for me and the car)

its a lot dif than the other cars in set up . (havok,delta,losi,customworks)

it pushed like a pig round one 6sec laps for 38laps
it pushed like a pig round 2 but better 5.9 sec laps 38 total .
i went to 10.5 lbs spring rear now were getting some were 5.5 sec laps 42total

i think im still off with the gearing and handling. the top 7 were running 44laps at around 5 flat

the funny thing that i was told last night.( I cant belive ae coppied custom works.) guess im going to have to give some history lessons .
well now that makes me old :lol:




maybe with some more track time i will find that 5 tenth of a sec .

no matter how you wrap it rc10s rule .
just race it
