Just wondering what sort of lower arm angles cars are running. I know chassis builders determine that when they are built and with ride heights, but mine needs repairs so curious of the angles, just a rough idea? Cheers

You'll undoubtedly want to share your chassis brand if looking for specific information. I believe the Smackdown I had with S7 spindles had somewhere around 1.5* - 2.5* upward angle (meaning the inner pivot point is lower than the ball joint) on the lowers. While I've never had my hands on a Rocket, in peeking underneath a few, their RF lower looks to have a lot more.

Jim sets his cars up by angle, you can find settings in the setup manuals. HTH http://bernheiselracecars.com/tech.htm
