JRS ? Jakes need some help

[XLexusTech]

Hi I have a jakes APEX chassis and hope some members here might have some experience with his Geometry. Does anyone happen to have any base alignment specs I can start with?

Looking for Camber caster toe starting points.

My standard street car alignment is:

Camber .5-1* negative
Caster typically as much as I can reasonably get but 5ish degrees positive should be good. If there is more there, take it.
One tenth of a degree toed in.

so I found this .. i reckon it has 7 degrees of caster built in..

"heres the numbers
61.5 track width
will allow 285 tire
.85 neg camber gain per inch of bump
7 degrees caster built in
can go to -3.5 camber static with no spacers

107 instant center
.815 roll center
.004 designed bump out, however manufacturing will vary up to .010.
motion ratio-.774 "

Ok, as above with 7 - 8 degrees of caster then.

Agreed, I am going to set camber and toe and see how it feels..
