does the additional brace that goes to the chassis off the new shock tower show an on track improvement, as in can you tell the difference in a car with it or without it........ im still trying to find one is why im asking

Re: Steering tie-rods angle ... this prototype slider chassis had the servo holes pre-drilled: 4.000" from front of chassis. On my solid chassis, I run my servo at 3.900" from front of chassis ... that's using T alu adjustable servo mounts (front of chassis to servo mount holes).

Is the slider car going to have the servo mount holes pre drilled or was that just on the prototype, if so for what size servo, also is the car going to be the type of graphite shown in the prototype pics or the woven graphite like the solid chassis ???????????????

Kenwood- Exactly how do you know the difference between chassis flex and the other thousand handling issue's we all deal with our cars?

Ok, oval newbie here. What is the advantages to the Slider chasis compared to the Aggressor? Why would I wnat one over the other?

You can be pretty sure there will be no holes for the servo. Steve's prototype had them because the chassis was custom made. I do not know for sure and forgot to ask Arnie yesterday.

Brain... believe me, chassis flex is something that you will know is happening when you get to a certain level of dialing your car in.... it's hard to explain, but it's a "feel" that the car will have, or not have, and no matter what you do, you won't be able to overocme it.

ice, the slider vs. the solid chassis debate is more of a personal preferance thing, then anything else. I've not seen a situation where either is hands down better then the other, it has more to do with hwat a driver is used to then anything else.

One difference between the front end on the slider compared to the solid car is the slider will allow you to lead or trail your RF block.

Thanks, I did also noticed that when compairing pictures. I have an Aggressor on the way and have always hated buying a kit only to heve the latest and greatest come out a few weeks later.

What is the performace gain in "sliding" the RF block forward or back?

Hi,
I recently purchased a CW Aggressor. Kit looks great. What I would like to know are most of you running the Wolfe Long kingpins? If so what is the advantage of doing so? Thanks :thumbsup:

A much wider selection of springs and rates?
Progressive and linear?

I run Associated 9110 Pins. The stock pins will not work well with Wolfe springs, that is why most use something longer like the 9110's or the Wolfes

Erock what is the difference between the asscociated 9110's and the wolf king pins?

10-29-2005, 04:45 PM
I believe it is a little shorter. FYI the wolfe king pin is associated 6226

erock1331
10-29-2005, 05:09 PM
davepull is correct, the 9110 is a bit shorter.
If you use Wolfe springs, and the wolfe spring retainers basically you need about one .020 shim on top for 0 preload.

Also after I got to thinking more about it, the 9110's are just a touch smaller in diameter compared to the wolfes. Which I like, this way I don't have to work as hard to get my front end free. The first time I use them I lightly sand them with some 800 grit, then after that just use Mother's polish for each rebuild.

I noticed a difference in both cars when I changed to the new cross brace and support. it made the car turn a little harder and it also made the car more consistant through the course of the run.

Hey all,

We are currently taking orders for the new Slider Aggressor offered as both a full kit and as a conversion from the original solid-type chassis. Kits and conversions will be sold on a first come/first serve basis, and by the interest we have recieved it looks like we may be sold out for a couple weeks after the first batch comes in. We forecasted way back in September a Nov 1st arrival and it looks like the official day of shipping will be close to the 15th of November (very likely not later than this date). I apologize to any inconvenience this may cause.

We are excited for everyone to give this new chassis a run. The changes from the original solid chassis are very subtle. The left front suspension for this chassis is slotted forward/backward so you have the ability to lead or trail the left front tire to further adjust the attitude of your Aggressor throughout cornering and the the entire battery tray area is infinitly adjustable forward/backward as well. The changes we feel will help the set-ups on banked tracks and even more solidify the Aggressor as the car to run on flat tracks.

If you have any questions feel free to post them here. Big thanks to you all out there who help keep this thread a very informative place for chassis set-up and help.

I would like to get my name on the pre order if I just had a part number for the conversion? Anybody????


Also what springsteel t-plate would be equal to .063 fiberglass for the offset style? I was wanting to try the spring steel for a while to see if it makes the car more consistant over the long haul.
