Hi Paul I wonder if you could help me. I have a Xray T4 and i'm having a problem witch keeps happening. I've been making most of the A main finals in major events. but i'm having a problem with the car loosing cornering speed in tight chicanes & hairpins when the grip comes up.My car is excellent in low grip conditions but when the grip comes up the car gets slow and lap times start to drop. i know its because the grip has come up, that the car is stopping in tight corners. How can i maintain cornering speed or dial out the grip with out loosing to much grip please help thank you |

I have been told that my car looked like it was 'stalling' in the corners too much, and to stand the rear shocks up more. It did help. This was on a track with tight 180deg turns etc as well. You could also try adding shims to the inner camber links to reduce overall grip. Skiddins |

Harder rear diff oil. The team is using 2-3000K as a base setting. 2.5-2.8 progressive springs front and rear have proven to work very well also for high traction conditions. Less droop for less weight transfer from left to right. It is kind of hard to know what to change as you haven't posted your complete set-up. And what tires are you using? |
