I run the pin high front/ low rear combination because i feel for me it gives me the most balance on the car. I find running pin high all rounds means the car rotates through the corner too much and pin low means loss of forward traction again in my opinion. This is something i ran on my SX3 and when testing put on my K1 and it made a big difference.

What you have to remember is that if you dont space the front block down when running this combination, you would technically be running 4mm worth of anti squat as the difference in hole height is 4mm. I space the front pin down by 2.5mm, therefore giving a an overall antisquat of 1.5mm, hence 1.95 degrees of squat. The calculation is worked out the same for toe in and antisquat, its just a typo on the setup sheet. Ralf's point of having to run this configuration is not correct, its just personal preference for me.

4WD Dominator Simon Moss was racing the awesome new Schumacher CAT K1 and confessed the car came much sooner than he'd imagined - even the team drivers were surprised by the K1! The K1 just looks right - without the complexity of the SX range the K1 is much easier to understand and it seems to go quite well too!

Simon hasn't had a lot of time to test the car yet and was running the big bore dampers from his SX3 rather than the new(old) small bore dampers which come equipped on the K1 as standard.

Simon was running a whole host of sexy red bits on his K1 which his sponsor and oOple advertiser RPC Racing sell. If only Simon were running the black small bores this would be a dialled looking car! :)
