I'm not 100% and I'm sure someone else will chime in but I think it's 1/8". |

1/8" toe in is correct, at ride height. |

You can run either way however there are disadvantages to both. Running toe in gives a much better stability at higher speeds however fights you in the turns. Toe out sucks at high speeds and the Buggy will wander all over however it works really well in the turns. The bottom line is toe in is the prefered way because the Stabilty it provides out ways the the extra steering effort required. |

OK, whatever you prefer. I like mine toed out, cause last time I checked we did a little bit of turning and not alot of straight aways. |

I run mine toed out just a little bit because it makes a buggy oversteer instead of understeer. I like for the ass end to break loose before the front does so that I can steer with the throttle. You have to be super careful with it though because as you come out of a turn and lay into the power it will want to come around instead of pushing the front end. Most people don't like it that way but, if you are an experienced driver is usually a little faster with it toed out instead of in. |

Mine is currently about 1/4" toe in. May need to check it once it gets driven a bit. |

if you just take one of the front tires off you dont need to set the toe !! |

I have always ran my front end toed in... after reading this post, I changed it to toe out.. Wow.. what a difference. It responds 10 times better. Careful on the road, around 60-70, the steering is almost too responsive to control. I am not sure if I will keep it toed out but it worth giving it a try. |
