Ran last night and it didn't go too bad (for me anyway). Qualified 7th in the C Final and finished 2nd with the fastest lap time but i'm trying to get my car to rotate more in the corners. I've completed a set-up sheet hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction (excuse the pun :wink: )

One thing you can try is reduced front track width. your setup sheet does not indicate what washers you are using so I asssum you are using the kit 1.5mm washers. Change these to the gold 1.15 washers. The team dirvers have done this in the past fpr earlieer models and I have found it useful on the T3. 012 on tighter tracks

At Newbury, also running on Sorex 28JB's, most of us have ended up running 2.7 springs at the rear as well.
1.3mm rear roll bar might help. Have you also tried putting on additve for the same time front and rear?

I have tried whacking the additive 20 minutes before on both front/rear and then more at 10 minutes and it did improve the grip massively. Changing from kit to 2.5 felt much better also, so I'll give 2.7 a go. Using kit shims for track width so i'll put 1.15 in and see what happens.

Cheers for the help guys :mrgreen:

Out of interest, why the pro-squat at the back end

Don't forget, if you do have a play with the track width ,it will affect your front toe and camber settings :wink:

Try softer shock oil (350 preferably) and a harder rear anti-roll bar (1.4). 1000 cst is a little soft for the rear diff. Most team drivers use between 2-3K. Shock position 2 both front and rear should help for rotation too as the car will drive more "round".
