Hey Peakey check that you lower rear arms are the right way around looks like they could be backwards. Arm a should be lower right and b should be lower left see page 11 of your manual

I've got it set at 26mm rod showing between the ball cups so it's just got a little toe in as it states in the manual, so I'll see how that goes.

I manage to get this finished and my Procat finally done (after a complete strip down and rebuild on Saturday) by 3am so after 2 and a half hrs sleep i was up and on the road to A1 Racing club.
If you ever get chance to go I cannot recommend it more, it's a great track run by a great bunch of guys and they ran the meeting in a fun and relaxed way.

The car ran great to start with it had a little too much grip but after I changed the front springs and took a row off the outside of the fronts it felt much better. It was a joy to drive and jumped brilliantly in the first 2 practice heats the first I was in 3rd and the second I was 4th wich for its first outing I was more than happy with.

It all went down hill from there, my transmitter kept un binding from the RX and then I snapped the main drive belt. Which really was down to me not making a big enough of a chamfer on the rear of the chassis.
After this I was having the same TX issue with my Procat I had to investigate, I found the source of the problem being the spektrum module on my TX had burnt out!

I had to try and salvage something from the day so went and purchased a cheep radio to finish the day off. So with missing the last qualifiers I scraped a 4th place start in the C final.

So with my cat now 2wd it was a fun final spending a lot of time doing doughnuts I think I ended up in 5th so not the best day but a lot of fun and a few gremlins to iron out but it will be back on the track soon.

The track

Nope I ran that too and had the same problem with the transmitter so missed some qualifiers but managed to win the C with it so not a complete washout.
