Would be good to see how much it is and how much you could get with that mod. It looks factory!:B):

Dorvack.

Looking at the pic and how its mounted i'd say your at as much positive caster possible. flipping it would gain you some more neg caster but i guess that would be your only choices... If i'm going to do the KPI mod i gotta work out how to be able to adjust it. I'd like to have similar choices like the MST.

well then it looks like I'll be flipping the mount for more negative caster, wow just turned the arms around now have about 25* negative caster lol

I think angled back is positive caster.

25 degrees of caster will make the steering very heavy (a strong servo may be necessary) as the wheels will keep wanting to self-center,  and you may need to shim the top of the knuckle to calm down the roll center.

I'd widen the gap in the Yoke part to allow fine adjustment of the position with shims, but it's your call.

Dorvack.

Yeh you're right Dorvack, towards the front of chassis is neg and towards rear is positive... I'm still not use to looking at picks of chassis with the motor in the front...lol

yeah I think I'll do that it's to extreme as it is with 13* negative camber at full lock on the outside tyre and 5* positive camber on the inside tyre I set it up with 5* negative camber at centre

Dorvack I  believe  your sig refers to entropy?

No, but is sounds like  entropy, everything changes and goes from an ordered state to a dis-ordered state

Ok I've tested the new purple springs on the front and the new pink springs on the rear and they are soo much better than standard I took the tamiya spring clips off now they are no longer needed. highly recommended upgrade

did you order your springs from 3Racing?
didn't find them on rcmart last night as I placed another order

yeah I got them from 3racing it seems some things have to be bought from their site as they aren't available anywhere else? like the lower arms not available at rcMart!

what springs did you get?

Is it me or are the stock springs on the front really soft
