This is the Derby Dust Special setup: We are going to make it easy and take all the guess work out of it for you. Our car bodies come pre-weighted with center of gravity between 1/2-1″ in front of rear axles.
If you have no intentions of following are break-in / tuning instructions, please do not purchase a 3 wheel rider, It will do more harm than good.
Also offered is an option of running on your car on negative camber. This will allow you to rotate the wheel to the point of minimum tread friction and make sure your wheel does not move back and forth while racing along your axle. This is an expert build level and will require tuning. If you have no intentions of tuning, then do not get this option as it will do more harm than good.
