Toe

How do you measure front and rear toe without a toe guage ?

interesting question

draw lines parallel 190mm apart.draw line 90 degrees for front axle(rugby goalpost).at points of intersection use protractor to mark desired degree of toe-in/out.line up wheels.job done
of couse ,providing allthe rest of getting perfect steering has been checked.servo arm vertical,steering arm centred,steering links equal lengths.
please feel free to add or correct

ask to use someones set up station

Rich that was the method i was looking for thanks

not a good idea it's much better to use station cos wheels you can't trust them for measurement

Yeah thats true what about with setup wheels is there any way you could do it then ?

it will be much better but still Station is the mos accurate ...

matt,if you got the schumacher set-up wheels put the two with flat edges on.measure outside to outside and draw your parallel lines.or measure front edge/back edge.id say 1mm difference is about 1deg

matt
you've got top class car but with no proper setup station do not expect much dude...

Oh right cheers Rich..
Some people say.. Theres too much movement in the axles of the car for a setup station to be so much better so i have not bought one at the minute i was looking to but one but got told that.... also i know a few very good drivers who dont use setup stations.... e.g. Mark doesnt

cool
I know Few of them uses such as Mark Reinhard LOL

lol point proven i am looking to buy one anyway are they all as good as each other ? like the fastrax one is that any good ?

ali,how many laps does a set-up station give you.

too many
@Rich
that's my personal opinion plus if you look around you'll see I'm not alone....
I never share my opinion If its not proven by my experience ...
you can setup your car with no setup station and again you can race with plastic chassis tc from 80s....
I hope you can understand my point
It's all about where you want to see yourself @rcrace scene
Tiny crack on bodyshell cost me 2 places @ RR 2nd final...If I were a bit more serious on racing that would never happen cos there was a new b. Shell on my pit table!
it is personal preferences as long as you are happy where you are that's it
I'm always looking for improvement no matter how small it is
