Question MA-010 Stock Knuckle and tie rod

Hi everybody,

What's the degree value of the stock front and rear knuckle and the tie rod?
My drifting was ok when using stock parts but when i changed to alum, my drifting gone bad.

I'm using 0 degree knuckle and tie rod for rear
+1 degree knuckle and 0 degree tie rod for front (wrong order)

does bad drifting caused by unmatched degree of my front knuckle and tie rod?

Thanks!

I thought they were 0 across he board but I could be wrong. You may also be seening a change in handleing from the change in weight too, but that is just a guess. Can anyone confirm the stock parts?

I'm wanting to say zero on all accounts also, but I’m not 100%.

How did your tires wear when you were drifting? By increasing the camber, you're tires will have more tread touching the road's surface in the corners. This would cause more grip and less drifting. For racing, we look for even wear across the width of the tire. This causes good handling. I’m not sure that is the case when drifting???

I'm not a drifter, but from what I read in the threads, you want your car as light as possible. Alloy parts add considerable weight to your car.

Hope that helps!!!

Thanks for ur reply NeoAWD,

I'm using drift tire for drifting so can't really know how my tire wear..looks the same but lil bit difficult to drift...maybe because of more grip like u said...
i'm using my AWD for drifting only, coz i have other mini-z's to race with...

i'm using all alum parts on my AWD...kinda heavy compared to stock haha...
