One word fantastic!!

Only took it for a quick test drive, but turn in in imense, also had it sideways swerving to miss a carcass in the road, lol

Feels alot more stable through corners wiht me being able to carry about 5 mhp more speed around a local round about

Also got a bulk bag of wheel bearings on order :lol:

no, just on on the n/s side, the sade that does all the cornering :roll:

think they are 10mm, either 10 or 15mm, can't actually remember

Finally, someone has actually felt the rewards!!!

I've been banging on about increased scrub raius/castor offset for ages.

Increase repsonse/steering feel/torque moment......just dont go too far or you'll start to end up with kart steering geometry and silly ackerman.

People always whinge about bearings aswell lol.

nice one!

cool i have seen they sell these at halfrauds but they holes are "slots" where the bolts go through, do you have to get the spacer lined up perfectly so you don't end up unbalancing the wheel???

you would need to get them pretty close.

:roll:

To clear up i'm running 10/15mm on each front wheel

They have holes in them the correct size for the wheel bolts, not slots, and thy are hub centric too, whihc really is a must if going for 10mm or more, otherwise getting the wheel on is interesting.

I hear what you are saying Ben, on a longer drive the stearing was alot more sensative over bumps, looks liek i'm finallyt gonna ahve to soften my front shocks up off the hardest setting, lol

....and yes you need longer wheel bolts, i got the spacers and bolts second hand off someone on here at FCS, and only just got around to fitting them, sorry mate can't remember your name :oops:

ive just got 2 5mm spacers for each front wheel, fit one then went to fit the other side and someone had put the wrong torx screws into the hub (what ever they are used for) and there not flush so i have to find some new nuts for that, but i bought mine to try and stop the scrubing with 16's, always wondered if they effected the handling
