The stock setting is 2 degree toe in in the rear. Helps with stability. You can change that by changing the mounting blocks for the rear arms.

I assume you know how to calculate the rollout. Go to the gearing wizard on RC universe and it will help you. The idea is that you should have as close to a 1:1 ratio between rollout and your final drive ratio. Here is a link to the calculator.http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/gearwizard.cfm
Obviously this is a guide. Start at this point then see what your car runs best at without overheating.

it is based on your pinion and spur size.

the calculation for working it out is near the back of your instruction manual

There is a group that drift locally in the car park outside a local hobby shop,but the majority of the guys are running TT_01s or are running permanently locked diffs.

Status: offline 		Well, I finally did it. My TA-05 IFS is now on the way, and I should have it monday or tuesday of next week. I got the NSX body, but I'm planning on using it just to learn how to drive, and buying a Lamborghini body to use when I get good.
