I thought the four holes were to allow rear toe change by swapping from left to right. :?: Nothing was ever mentioned in the manuals or box text about adjustable wheelbase...just rear toe.

You da man. I told my wife that and she said "Why? Your hind quarters don't fit them anymore".

Sure girl, pick on the fat man :cry:

you'd have to change the degree of the arm mount or the hub carrier to adjust the toe. moving it front and back only changes the wheelbase. switching them left to right would give you positive rear toe, without changing the hub carriers, and why would you want that? plus the pitch of the arm itself would be lower in the front and higher in the rear. i don't know if that would have any ill affect on handling. probably not.

I would think that would put more load on the front of the arm and make it prone to shock breakage. Just a thought.

Thus, if you swapped the 1.5º 6360 arm mounts from left to right and kept the 1.5º hub carriers in their normal orientation (or vice versa) you'd have 0º toe per side. Right? I know the early kits had 0º hub carriers, so that doesn't apply there... :wink:

Stupid toy cars... :P

well, i'm sure the arm mounts are designed with that pitch to the rear for a reason. one that i don't know. :lol:

so, i would leave the 1.5 degree arm mounts in the correct l&r position, and get 1.5 hub carriers, and switch those. then, you'd have 0 toe.

The pitch is "anti-squat". You're right, better to swap the hub carriers... what were we going on about... oh yeah, wheelbase... :?

You would have thought Associated might have provided some help explaining all the tuning options they provided originally... I mean everything on the early kits needed hand fitting anyway. :roll:

well, shortening the wheelbase would help the car turn better. it would also help off corner traction, since there would be more weight transfered on the rear of the car. or, i could be talking out of my you know what. so, if anyone has anything to add, feel free. :)

lack of tuning options from ae, i don't know. they gave a base line setup-up. maybe not the best, but it was a place for the owner to start.
