Default Toe and anti squat on the cougar kf

Looking at the setup sheets on petit rc. It says 3mm difference for the toe giving 3.9dg of toe in. Then below says rear 3mm front 0mm this gives the 3mm difference but where does this 3mm go? is it 3mm in washers between the moulded block and the lower bulkhead??

And where do the antisquat washers go? It says 2mm difference giving 2.6dg of antisquat. Yet under it it says 0mm rear and 3mm front. Surely ghis is 3mm difference.

Im still using the moulded blocks as the alloy ones are out of stock non stop.

from my earlier enquiry on here I think you need the alloy blocks to change these settings, it is not possible to change toe-in or anti-squat with the kit moulded blocks you must have U4160 which as you say is out of stock!!!

its actually possible to change the toe-in with the stock blocks, just use shims (as you would with the alloy blocks)

the alloy blocks give a wider adjustment just adding shims to the rear will increase rear toe

I have added 2mm shims each side at the rear and added 3mm spacers in the shocks to reduce the amount of droop with out any problems and my KF handle like its on rails I race on carpet at stoke

WOW...

The standard moulded blocks "deliver" a 2,5mm difference = 3,25° Toe in.
When you add another 2 mm, then you will have a 4,5mm difference = 5,85° toe in.

No wonder, that it runs like on rails.
