Handling bumps and curbs!!

Hi,

I was racing indoors on carpet the other day at a meeting that uses low curbs on every corner. Where most of the cars were happy to ride the curbs, my car would flip every time it touched one. What changes could you make to the setup to help the car ride bumps better?

I do need to try kickup as I have heard of a few people using it.

I was wondering if more droop or softer front springs would help.

Hi matt,

Are you using rebound and do you mount your shell loosely on the posts. It also could be that your going so slow in 17.5 blinky that your car has the time to roll over. :-)

See you Friday.

Yep I run the bodyshell loosely and usually have around 4mm rebound!
