Thanks this helps. I have both the Impulse and the MTX2. Can I set them up identical? They seem so similar in design. Do you have a recommended set-up that is universal. Or a good starting point? Thanks again. You guys are the first to give me information that I can use. Your the best!!!!!!!!

Hey, SteveP, do you have any pictures of a MIP Tweak Station being used? The instructions for using it are also non-existant! Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx!

Jay - set the Serpent to zero degrees from toe, 2 degrees rear toe, and 1 degree negative camber front and rear. Front and rear width to 200mm. The Mugen steers a little better, so you need to take a little out of the steering. Use the same setup for the Serpent except use 3 degrees rear toe and set the front width to 198mm.

Drew - insert the center beam into the black plate in which the two thumb screws are installed. Point the thumbscrew in the center beam towards the ground and place these two pieces in the position which you intend to use the Tweak Station. Before installing the pivot plate with the level bubble on the other end of the center beam, lay it across the top of the fixed plate with the two thumbscrews. Lay it on top of the other plate so the two are as parrallel as possible, then level the bottom plate using the bubble in the top plate. That levels the tweak station from side to side. Now, lay the second plate (the one with the bubble level) across the rear plate at 90 degrees so you can level the assembly from front to back. Install the pivoting plate on the end of the center beam once everything is squared up. The line through the center of the plates is where the center of the tire should contact, within reason. Let the chassis settle, then take note of the position of the rear bubble. Adjust the spring pre-load on the shock(s) until the bubble in the pivoting plate is dead in the center. Now the chassis is set.

Thanx, Steve!
