Post subject: | Inner Akerman Position - need explanation please |
Could anyone breakdown the two positions in terms of what they do. At my track there is varied opinions some say rearward is aggressive forward is smoother. and visa versa. me personally find forward on the bushing and number 2 on the akerman easy to drive and smoother is this right or is this in my head lol i have looked at allot of team driver set ups and its varies from track to track on what direction they would use it... For carpet racing in what conditions require you to use each setting and generally what is most popular? in the manual it says use rearward for EU spec and on the setup sheet it is set with the bushing going forward |

I think part of the problem is that on the setup sheet the 1-2 selection seems to point to the position of the actual servo saver post, not the notch in the plastic part, but drivers can't seem to decide (or don't look properly) which it should be. I moved from post at the front and 2 notches out on the ackermann to post at the back and 4 notches out. The end result is what is shown above. This did seem to smooth out the steering which helped reduce grip roll as it stopped the initial turn in being quite so violent. Skiddins |

please note that T3 position for servo saver differs from T2 cars. The T3 front position in the front is same as rear position on T2. When I was driving T2, I always used the servo saver in the rear position. If you drive T3, the front positions makes the car easier to drive because it turns smoothly, the new rear position provides even more steering and responsivenes but it may be in some conditions more difficult to drive. However, the bigger difference in car handling provides adjustable ackerman. If you use ackerman position more forward, the car has more in corner steering but less cornering speed. If you use ackerman position more backward, it makes exact opposite. So, you are changing the ackerman position according to track layout |

Thanks Martin, Am I correct in saying the setup sheet position 1-2 is for the post itself, not the plastic 'notch'? Thanks Skiddins |
