Hi,

I'm pretty new to this forum, even though I registered years ago..
I wanted to find out what toe, camber and caster people are using, for track use.

Thank you

What tyres are you using?

A search on blat chat might help

I would say that the settings on Blatchat are a little conservative

Although it's track and driver dependent I would start with...

Front:
camber 2.5 - 3.0
toe 5' toe out
Castor 2 or 3 washers between the front of the chassis and the lower wishbone, although check that it's the same on both sides with a gauge if you can

Rear:
Camber 1.5
Toe 5' in - 0

Ride heights:
These cars are very rake sensitive. Set this at 12-15 mm (conservative) Front ride height 115-120mm (measure fron the floor to the bottom of the chassis rail just behind the rear lower wishbone mount)

Tyre pressures:
Set them hot if you can, and aim for ~21 all round

You don't say whether or what rear ARB you have. I would stick a red front one on (no rear) and go from there
