Full dirt modified setup on a 2020 Shaw race car!! 

People don't realize how much knowledge it takes to properly setup any type of race car. I hope this becomes a series. I would love to see a break down video of each component and what it does and what adjustments will affect this and that. Keep up the great content 👏

I have learned more from your videos than anyone has been able to tell me sir. I also have a 2014 shaw with xl updates. Love the car now that I have gotten it set up. Now just some lap time and fine tuning. 60 year old rookie lol

Thank you for taking the time to share some knowledge! I’m fairly new to racing an a-mod and this video helped explain a lot

Well said on the explanation of zero indexing and that its just a meaning not a zero.

I had a 2015 shaw and it was a nice handling ride this was in 2017 though so was fairly new and up to date. Great cars and great customer support for setup issues. I wish RU-vid was around like this back when I first started racing in 03 it would have helped alot but I learned by figuring out stuff and ppl helping me over the years. I quit racing but still love setting Emm up once in a while asphalt or dirt cars I setup now for ppl to help Emm. I'm 30 and had to stop racing 3 years ago started at age of 10 in ministock mustang lol. But this is some good knowledge I learned a new truck just now

That was a very good explanation of how to setup a modified!

Very good video

Keep these videos going and you’ll be the biggest race channel for mods on RU-vid. Always a secret society when it comes to this for whatever reason. Funny thing is that their secret setup is just customized to the driver mostly so it’s irrelevant. Showing simple setup by the book just ain’t been on here. But ALL the channels with show you body work lol. Good stuff! 🏁🏁🏁🤙🤙🤙🤙

Bsb makes a really good tool for checking ride height off the lower a-arm bolts. Definitely worth owning. Great video.

Great video man. I just now found your channel.

Awesome job that's how we do it

Heck man I learned a bunch just now from this video the days of 2 inches of stagger and letting air out till you see sidewall flex are long gone

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Man, sweet video! Just what I was looking for! Sent you a message on your fb race page...

Nice job enjoyed that a lot

Awesome video. Tons of information. Like that hat!

Thanks for sharing. Great content.

On the rf I always adjust the jacket bolt counter clockwise first then put the shock on and measure the travel with the driver and then measure the ride height and then I’m just messing Iv never set up a modified 😂

One other question and if it was said im sorry. What year is this shaw. And by the way thanks for explaining stuff barney style and making it sound understandable. Much respect sir.

You checked the ride heights and then went to cranking on the jack bolts. Shouldn’t you go back and recheck the heights or was it close enough initially to skip this process. Still old school and trying to wrap my head around this load stick data.

those are sweet

It was a good video. What would be close ride height numbers? I know you said suspension pickups will not always be the same, but load sticks are expensive for a budget driver.

When you talked about the pullbar @9:00 mark, you had it setup to the bottom hole on the front end saying it was more of a short track deal.....I race at a 3/8 mile track with about 5 degrees in the straits and 15-20 in the corners. Would I move it up a hole for that size track?

Awesome video man!! How much rear steer do you typically put in the car? Are you leading the RR at static height or running it equal wheel base? Have a buddy with home built car and trying to help get it headed the right direction.

Are those the Wehrs Jam nuts on the trailing arms? If so, how do you like them? They look pretty slick.

Watched your video and thank you for sharing; curious would this set up work with other manufacturers (ie GRT)

Hey watched this a few times, didn’t see what the J bar needs to be set to? I don’t have a book to go off of lol. Thanks

how about the left front and toe out. my mod handled better with positive camber in the LF and 3/8 to 1/2 toe out with a Chevelle stub. just wondering where they are with the newer chassis.

I would be curious if you ever scaled the car after you setup using the smasher and load stick. Would it scale out normal pecentages? To numbers like you used to do before you got the smasher and load stick.

What brand of trailing arms are on the right side? Those look nice

Well I would like to know how much of this Shaw setup is the creation of Wayne Brooks, and how much of it is Kevin Shaw's?...😂 Because the way the rearend and front end is setup. The measuring points, etc, Is definitely coming across to me like a Wayne Brooks creation... Since the original Shaw car was actually a car. That Wayne Brooks created and I would not be surprised if Mr. Brooks had a fair amount of input into this current style of Shaw car. However, the way you were measuring ia how I recall. Wayne Brooks doing his measurements, back when I was working with him. As far as something better or easier, I have had to learn different ways of setting up cars. That I am of the mind that the simplest way. Is still the way a person should go about setting up their car. Provided you get the numbers you are looking for in the process of setting up your car. (Essentially find a way that will give you the setup numbers you are looking for. Then stick with doing it that way.) Because one example would be, back when I was working with Kelly Shryock. He liked the right ball joint to be about a inch higher than the left on the front end. Yet if the lower control arms are different. Than what he is used to using and a person cannot get above measurement. Due to the offset of the tire, making it nearly impossible to take those measurements. At that point you have to locate a different location to take that measurement. Besides I orginally learned to measure from the frame down to the flat ground. Which is how it is done when taking measurements from a computerized alignment machine. In order to determine if the frame is bent. Or something was broken on the front end. Although I still like to know what the scale numbers look like. Yet I do understand the way you are doing it does make it much easier.

So do you set front ride height after you get your left rear pre load and right rear smash number?

I thought that BBB was owned by Zach the guy that owns outlaw speedway?

What do you mean by a rigid suspension? Does that mean to tight?

Can you tell me at ride height if right side wheel base should be more or less than left side

Rear links are those center heim hole to hole?

Did you pre-load the RR or just ride height? What spring

Any advice on grt setup

Hey bud i had a ? I am completly new to racing and have a ? thats probably a stupid ? but i just bought a 06 shaw and was wondering about what parts i need to buy for it as in 06 chevy parts or can they be just any parts ?? if ya get what im saying? its just the frame and cockpit only no control arms or nothing just frame so sense im new to it and just getting into it can ya give me an answer on what parts to buy please? as in can it be any rear end ? as in ford , chevy , etc on a rear end for it or does it have to be a chevy rear end? and control arms?
