so how much toe- in is 2 much, i measure the rear of the front tires outside edge 2 outside edge and do the same with the front, i would think with 2 much you would actually plow up the ground, thus causing loss of speed.

Somewhere between 1/8" and 1/4" usually works well.

We always do our's with an angle finder and a straight edge and toe them in 1 degree, that works reall well.....

1/8 inch toed out keeps the quad from "darting" and having unpredictable steering. Works for me,My .02

OK Kevin was it negative four degrees camber and negative three degrees caster and one degree toe in. I may have the three and four mixed up. But I better remember so I can set up the new DC duels on Kyle's Honda. All at ride height of course :huh If I'm not mistaken Brad Loomis was one of the one's that helped me last winter set up Kyle's E-Ton with fully adjustable DC duels.

HA Ha Mike, I was kinda hopin you remembered, I wrote it down somewhere but can't seem to find it. All that I could remember is that I set the toe in 1 degree. Yea your right Brad was the one that gave us the specs, I actually think the toe was supposed to be like 3 degrees in but I only went 1 degree in and it seemed to work great. All I know is that we are going to have to figure it out again because I would say we will probably have all of our stuff within a week or two........
