The AFX spindles are def sweet!

One thing will happen that I'd like to warn you about.

Having a car with poor cornering but lots of horsepower is tough for other cars you will be on track with. To prevent irritating them please allow quicker cars to pass you when you get to the next straight stretch. Avoid mashing the gas to show them how much horsepower you have. Just let them by and get on with learning how to get your car around the track.

It's very frustrating to follow a slower car through the turns just to have him leave you on the straights and then wind up back on his bumper at the next turn. RA is a long track and after you let them by it will be easier to concentrate on getting the corners right without someone on your tail.

Following this recomendation will gain you a lot of respect from others who share the track with you.

You have questions about the spindles?

FYI- The C5 hub is standard 5 on 4.75" bolt pattern, but it does use a metric lig of 12mmx1.5 thread pitch.

Yes, that is the worst. What this also does is make you someone else go faster, when you have to past the slow people on the straight aways, they always try and gun it. So to pass them you have to go faster than what you are usually comfortable with, and it can make you enter the turn faster and either crash or make you stress.

This thread is full of great info, maybe there should be a sticky about if you are serious about going to the track.

This is turning into good info! (after you finished bashing me for no good reason.)

I weill have to get a local rule book on R/A, but I assume you cannot go fast at all untill you prove yourself?? Otherwise, any idiot newbie in a 1 million horsepower car could go there and kill himself or others!

Those AFX spindles are great! I wonder if he would take a pair of turbos in trade!, Or maybe a coin collection, stamp collection, Wife, or RC car!!LOL

Hey ATS..... Are those available without the hubs? Just need the spindles.

How large are the new ZO6 rotors?? I don't see why the C5 calipers would not work with the newer o6 rotors?

the c5 calipers will work with the c6 z-51 brake package which the front rotors measure 13-3/8 actual, and a full 13 on the rear rotors, compared to i htink 12.8 and 11 on the reg c5 stuff, all you need to do the z-51 is c5 calipers and z-51 rotors and abutments(mounts)
the c6 z06 brakes are completely different and will not interchange

No one is bashing you, only trying to help you out. After everyone is trying to help you, that is what you say?

They don't care what car you have, just how experienced you are. And what you described is what we are trying to keep you from doing. I hope you take something positive away from all this

I know, I'm just having fun!

Yes, but you have to supply us with your hubs. We MUST install them, as it requires special fixtures and tooling.

What is the charge? What is the cost without the hubs?? Shoot me a P.M. I need to start putting a dollar figure on this stuff.

Also, does that mean if a bearing goes bad I have to send the whole spindle back in? After it is in the car, what fixturing could you possibly need?? I change these quite a bit at the shop, just curious?
