I'm much happier than what i was previously. the car is good. specs:

Front:
Castor____L________R
_________6.1_____6.06
Camber
_______-1.03____-1.01
Toe
________-.02_____-.01

Rear:

Camber:___L________R
________-2.19___ -2.21
Toe
_________.41______.38


A month or so after the dragon (i need to pay off my CC right now) i'll get SPC joints in the rear so i can get better tire wear.
Is that toe out in the rear? If so, that is a little scary.

I believe it is toe in (towards the center of the car. that is what it looks like according to the diagram.

For toe in, I would have expected the numbers to be negative, like the front. Also, looks like a lot of toe at the rear. Appears to be .79 total.

thats because my frame is messed up and i can't get the camber correct. camber and toe are connected in the rear... if i get the camber to -2.0 both sides it should hopefully reset the toe.


and your correct. just looked at the diagram again. its .79 toe out total... which is within the specs supposedly.

I believe the best toe for this car is 0.00, or as close as you can get to it

MotoGP always seems to use F1 tracks
I suspect they went TX just because F1 will be there
Hermann Tilke is the designer, there are plenty of his tracks that I think suck, suck big time

Here is the rumored layout, in elevation
