Some "Sweep"ing set up advice requird!

[mattsedgley]

Okay guys!

More set up advice would be greatly appreciated..

What does "Sweep" do? Talking to some guys last night - the angle of the front wishbones in relation to the centre line of the chassis. from what I gather on a purple car it's adjusted by changing the toe blocks -

however what does more or less "sweep" do??

Thanks guys!

More sweep = more agresive steering "sharper feel"

I played a lot with this on the Scythe and to be honest I did'nt notice much difference,and stuck with 1.5 deg's...I believe this adjustment is more noticable on carpet.

sweep can also add stability on bumpy tracks !
