Jilles Groskamp provides his report on new option parts features:

Lower 0.75mm Eccentric Suspension Holder (2+2)

The new 0.75mm Eccentric Suspension Holder gives me the possibility to lower the roll-centre, which gives the new car more traction. You can also fine-tune your ride with more different roll-centre possibilities. The new 0.75mm holders also give more anti-dive/ kick-up settings. For example, now you can adjust the anti-dive/kick-up by 0.75 degree. This is done by using a standard holder in combination with a new pin holder.

I have been using this new option for the last couple of races including the LRP Masters and Snowbirds. At Snowbirds I used the new pin holder to use -0.75 degree anti-dive which gave me the perfect set-up!

Composite Steering Blocks 3 Holes

The new Composite Steering Blocks 3 Holes allows using more and different Ackermann positions. When using the new third hole it gives the car a super-smooth steering curve, especially on foams this gives the car a smooth reaction. Most team drivers have used it on most foam races lately.

Alu Upright Rear with Integrated Toe-in

This all new upright with 1° or 2° rear toe-in gives the racer the possibility to set rear toe-in without changing the wheelbase. On the track the car feels more stable and gives more consistent handling. I also found it easier to build. With the inboard rear toe-in method (standard method) it’s sometimes a bit of a hassle to put in those spacers!

Wheel Axle Offset ‶+1mm※ / ‶-1mm※- Hard Coated (2)

The -1mm/+1mm Offset Wheel Axles are designed to change the front/rear width of the car.

• Narrowing the front with two -1mm Offset Wheel Axles gives the car more reaction and better steering.
• Widening the front with two +1mm offset Wheel Axles gives an easier drive and super stability.
• In the rear, most of the time I use two +1mm Offset Wheel Axles to make the rear slightly more stable without losing steering.

Note that you MUST use the same Offset Wheel Axles on the left and right sides of the car (at the same end of the car).
