Sleeper/54
New member
2008 XxX .... last scale was 47% and I want to get at least 60% for the track we are going to race. Junior Redplate Boxstock @ 250lb. .... the Nose (46%) and Left (53%) are workable.
Need to add Cross
- Thread starter Sleeper/54
- Start date
From Al's spreadsheet for F - 46% L - 53% X - 60%
the weights need to be RF - 66.25lbs RR - 51.25 LR - 83.75 LF - 48.75
It would seem to me to be really difficult to get X that low (47%) with your other #'s where they are.
Bent spindle ?
Stacking the washers opposite of the way they should go to increase X ?

How much stagger do you have in the front? Start at 1 1/2" - if you are not around that difference, this may be your problem. 34" right sides, 32 1/2" left front.
For what it's worth, typically XXX don't like much cross, especially in small plate lightweight classes.
I know, there's not much help from the Mfg'er, but this chassis is very similar to our Vector AO3, so set-up numbers should be very similar.
Personally, I'd be down on 56% cross or so with this class and chassis. But to each their own -- if it works for you, then more power to ya.
