V12-CE SETUP MANUAL
The holes you use to bolt the wish-
bones to the front plate depend
on the type of track you run on
and how you like the car to han-
dle. Wide wishbone spacing helps
prevent grip roll in the fast sections
but reduces steering a bit through
slow, tight sections of tracks; a
long wheelbase promotes stabil-
ity at high speed while a shorter
wheelbase allows faster changes of
direction. At this point many driv-
ers ditch the self-tapping screws
that come in the kit and use slightly
longer (12mm) button head M3
machine screws to give a stronger
mount when fixing the wishbones
to the plate. Since the 4 holes for
each screw are quite close togeth-
er you should also use a relatively
large diameter M3 washer under
the each of the screws’ heads to
help spread any loads. For the
time being, screw them all down
tight.
2.A. FRONT END
In this case, wishbones set to
“long and wide”.
M3 washer between screw
head and plate.
NOTE: do not use less than 2mm
spacing on the rear two screws
– doing so will allow the head
of the rear screw holding the
wishbone to the front plate to hit
the chassis and tweak the front
plate.
Now, add the central screw, but do
not add anything between the front
plate and chassis - we have found
that having a bit of flex in the plate
gives better front bite mid-corner
and more even tyre wear. Tighten
the screw’s top nut so that it com-
presses the plate to give about 1.5’
camber.
2.B. FRONT END
1mm thick washer under front bolts.
No washer under rear bolts.
Standard Nut
M3 “Low-Profile” nut is about 1mm
thinner than a standard nut.
