Here is the set-up me and Alec Springer are running on the Tamiya Vega at EPR.

0.5 hubs on my car, 0 deg hubs for alec.
Long wheel base.

we played around with the inner ball stud, i ended up on the upper 2nd inner hole (starting from the inside on the rear turnbuckle ball stud)
3 deg toe in brace (The toe in block is the right way up.)
1 mill shim under the front brace

Ride height is wishbones level front and rear.

I have a speed passion speedo, speed passion 6.5 motor on kit spur(79) and 23 tooth pinion.

The car was very good today. It was my fourth meeting with the car, but the first time with the car right, I had the servo saver waaaaaaay to loose and the car was doing very random things, locked that up and the car was sweet!!! I ran a used set of tyres in practice and put a new set of rears on for Q-1 and kept the same set on all day, I wanted to see how the car worked at the end of the day with worn tyres. There was a big drop off in performance in my final with shagged tyres. For big meetings I will make sure a good tyre is on at all times.
