I was having some rear toe change problems with my track X1/9, rear suspension design is a bit different to the 850, but similar in that the pivot points are not in a straight line. Common thoughts are to not use poly bushes as it relies on the rubber being able to deform with suspension movement. I made up a rig to measure the toe change with suspension movement on the car, and lowered the tie rod end connection outer point to correct it. Here's a link to discussion, post #14.
Suspension pickups - race build 1978 X1/9
I am moving to an x1/9 full track build after a break from building my last 128 - it’s been a long time since I looked at x1/9 chassis set-ups - can somebody bring me up to speed with best practice on relocating suspension pickups (or not) for the front? I and assuming the HP racers out there...
