Tony (or Jilles / Frans),

can you advice me how to proceed with improving the setup?

Joep,

First thing to try is still the 6 degree caster blocks. This should improve on power steering.

I also suggest you play around with the rear roll center. Run the rear arms in the high roll center position (if you don't do that already) and try increasing the number of spacers under the rear upper link.

You can also try running the front upper link short (i.e. outside hole on the shock tower).

Finally you can try changing the Ackerman angle on the steering by running the steering links in the forward position on the steering blocks. Don't forget to reset the front toe and adjust the steering end-points on your transmitter when you make this change.

cheers joep, u sort of need a spool 4 this track, there is a killer hairpin and the braking point is over a crest, so u need as much stopping power as possible
ill try out the droop, iv got 1.5 camber all round, i was thinking of putting 2 on the rear but didnt have enough track time to do it! iv actualy been driving for about 3 and a half years and have had some pretty good results, its just that i like 2 get a full setup idea from the really good guys, and i dont get that much running done outdoors, thats y i mite sound like a bit of a beginner not that im pro or anything, i wish!!!!

cheers for ur help

Sounds like we have some thing in common my friend but like i said try try and try some more till you get it right then you will be a very good racer and a lot wiser in the end you make it look so easy when you do win till then see you in my rear view. Iron Man
