So how do you get rid of some side bite? I have a 10 spec and have been trying to get rid of all the traction rolls I am having. I am running Jason Branhams' setup xform/inde...61&setup=xb808 for our track except for tires " the shop didnt have them "and the diff oils which shouldnt be a factor in this. I originally used the new Werks Lug tire and it was horrible( but really good acceleration and braking). Actually WAY too much side bite. So I snipped the side tread and no help. Switched to the Calibers, loosened it up a little but when the track has good bite it was still too much side bite. And when the track dried out it went to loose on acceleration and braking, and would still traction roll. I went from 3* camber to 4* which is the most I can get on the rear. No more adjustment there. Seemed to help a little bit more. So then went with slightly less droop, and it helped a bit more I think. Kinda hard to tell. I was driving it slower in the main to try and not roll it, which I still did a few times.

So, any advise?

Have you tried:

- a harder compound of tire? Like an M2 (even hard or XTR compound) Bowtie type of tire?
- Stiffer springs? Try the truggy's Blue springs. If still rolling go to the purple.
- dropping your ride height a couple of m.m.?
- heavier shock oils?
- shock pistons with smaller holes?
- making your shocks more vertical?
- moving the shock's lower mounting point to the inside holes?
- Using a higher roll-centre (lower holes on the shock tower)?
- lengthening the rear-upper arms (outermost hole on the rear hub)?

That should give you a start anyways. That must be one high bite track! I love oodles of traction!

Oh and in case you don't have it, here's a link to the That's where I got all that info. Print that sucker off and throw 'er in with your setup tools. It will be an invaluable resource for you at the track.
