Who is making these? And where are they available?


contact Barry Hill @ Hyperdrive. he has been making them for years

McPappy makes them too. They also have 10* ones. I don't think CRC's are adjustable.

ScottH, What type of adjustment are you looking for? Castor, Camber gain, Lenght of upper arm? Each castor being sold has it's advantages and dissadvantages.

I did talk with Barry, he said he is making new ones and not available yet.

I bought the McP ones. Do not like them. They are totally different from everything I am running. 3-holes, different locations and require a different hinge pin.

Mike, I am looking for ones like the Hyperdrive blocks. They have 5-holes to adjust the amount of camber gain.

Lefthander has them in stock.

I see the CRC's at Lefthander but not the Hyperdrive ones. Am I missing them?

Your best bet is to try the wanted section. I bought one of the last pairs from Windtunnel and I haven't seen them on Lefthander in a long time. I personally like the new 10R5 front end that Barry has to fit the current pan cars.

Hyperdrive, IRS, RIP, KSG, IRS, MCPappy and probally more all make Adjustable castor blocks. Any of them will be able to let you adjust camber gain easily. Of course I prefer the HD ones.

Yes but I am looking for 5* ones.

Part# HY-8060 5 hole adj. caster blocks.
Got my at a BRL race last year.
Ask Barry at Hyperdrive or maybe Hayes at lefthander.

While the HD-8060 is an adjustable castor block it is a 0* block. I am looking for and adjustable castor block in 5*.

I believe we are talking about 5-degree castor blocks, w/5 holes for adjustment. Also, 10-degree castor blocks w/5 holes for adjustment. Am I right?

Yes. The multi-hole "adjustable" blocks are easy to find. The "adjustable" 5* blocks are not. The only ones I can find are the McPappy ones, and I do not like those.

ScottH,
The IRS4309 caster block set comes with the L&R 0* & 5* adjustable caster blocks. The kit also includes the hinge pins, e-clips, caster shims, & 2 machined upper arms. You can also adjust the arm length by moving the hinge pins to the inner set of holes. The set is also very light.

Thanks Dave, will these fit the Associated lower A-arms? Also and pics of them? I did not see a pic on the site.

hello guys! You may not know who i am actually i know you dont! But soon i hope that will change. I have alot of parts in prototype right now and more designs to come! The first of which will be available is a COMPLETELY adjustable front end! By completely i mean you ar not limited to one angle! These can be adjusted from 0* to 10* and even more in 2.5* increments! there is really no limit! caster is also fully adjustable! and height on the upper arm is also fully adjustable in .020" increments! I will try my best to get pics up ASAP! altho i do not have a finished production model yet! The production ones will look way better! I am also hoping to have REALLY competitive pricing! Please either PM me or E-Mail me at 0to60in1.2@gmail.com with any questions! Thanks, Trever

I bought the McP ones. Do not like them. They are totally different from everything I am running. 3-holes, different locations and require a different hinge pin.
Of course, everyone has a right to their opinion, but I did want to clarify something just in case someone was mislead by this post. Our hole standards were based on the Associated blocks. So if you put your hinge pin in the bottom hole of the McPappy caster block, it is exactly the same. (There is actually a hingpin in this Associated block, but it's hard to see because ours is in the same position.)

It's cool if the McPappy caster blocks are not be what you are looking for, I just wanted to clarify the hole alignments.

No harm meant to the McPappy parts what so ever, just not the style I am looking for.

ScottH,
Yes they bolt to the old style Associated lower arms. I will post some pics.

Dave

Thanks Dave.

With a standard associalted style lower a-arm you must grid a little of the down post that screws to the chassis in order to have a little "relief" to allow for the 5 degree spot. A little practice makes it easy and also with Dave's caster blocks (ShockWave type) it's also easier because you don't have to use spacers between the castor block and the a-arm to make roll center changes.

ScottH,
Here are pics of the castor block kit.

Dave

ScottH, with Daves 10th scale block you can mount it in 0 or 5 degrees, if that's not enough with his 12th scale block you can mount it in 5 or 10 degrees. Just and FYI

Got it handled, thanks everybody.

HD does have 5 degree adjustable castor blocks, I don't know the part number bu tgive Barry a call or hopefully he will post it here.
