The bad part is, i did the same thing at our state comp last month. Im a slow learner, i guess.

[billj]

Had a So. Florida State comp yesterday. I was able to pull out a 3rd place. I drove much better yesterday, then i have in a while.
New chassis performed well. Moved my rear shocks to a top hole, to try to bring the rear height down a bit.
40w oil all around.
and moved my steering link nuts to the bottom of knuckle (only ripped up 2 sedonas)

Great driving yesterday Bill, even though all 3 of the Florida guys were there, at least one of the UGC guys "showed up"

[billj]

Thanks DT

The black and white is a good look.


What is the measurement from the lower link at the chassis to the upper most and farthest forward upper link mount hole?

If Bill does not get to it before I get home from work, I will take a caliper reading when I get home.

OK, thanks.

As far as i could measure its 42mm from the lower link hole to the upper, most foreward hole. Im sure DT will have a better measurement with calipers.

I am looking forward to the final release of this one, looks like tons of tuning options.

The calibrated eyeball is good to go.

Thanks for posting what you got.
I have to find something to measure in this MM.

thanks. NOW i have to find a tape measure that goes out that many decimal places. Gets harder and harder.

Seriously, I appreciate the info on the links.

Happy to help!


By the way, with a zeroed out digital caliper the measurement you asked for is 41.25mm. Bill was close! You can probably round that to 1.65"

Then using a decimal to fraction calculator it comes out to 1 13/20th with reduces down to approximately 1 5/8"

'bout time

Now we just need to get Wade to 4 ch.

[billj]

I just hope i can get used to the radio by ECC

Radio is super easy to use!

Just a tip go into the dual ESC menu when you drive. You can watch and keep track of your changes if you get lost in your remote.
