Proper Chassis Setup
I am using a Callari set up jig for a 1/8th on road, and to be honest it serves the purpose. I agree the big hudy set up is over kill for a buggy. I run the front tires almost stright up and down as far as caster, and virtually no toe in the front, and a slightly towed in at the rear tires....it tracks staight, on or off throttle, and seems to handle really nice. You can get one of these jigs I have for 40-100 on Ebay. I got mine for 50$. Whats surprising is I thought by counting threads on the adjustments I would be close....wait until you put a true measure on it. Mine was close, but I was off by a couple degrees on the rear camber I wanted like 3 degrees negative on both sides, and a couple degrees of toe in, and I was three degrees negative camber and right on 2 degrees toe in, but the left side was off by a couple degrees on both measurements. It was pretty noticable after the angle was fixxed too, so adajustment does matter to some degree, but not as much as a on-road. I will take every advantage I can get!
