XRAY T3
#1771
ok so I posted up on xray so please take a look.
Aric, i understand the traction issues at underground. Im asking more of a general setup question that I am having problems with. A car that both pushes slightly at high speed but then gets loose at low speeds. I wont be at the track this weekend its easter sunday. I will be heading to LH on saturday though.

The NT1 gear diff conversion in the rear works very well, no problem all weekend long and very consistant performance.

hey guys
so I ran my T3 for the second time today and was having a comfusing issue for me.
car started out with a really bad push at corner entry to early mid corner.. so as i slowed it would push push push then the front would grab and the rear would break loose. I pust 6* caster up front and the car handled much better but pretty much only when I drove it very aggressive. if I got off my line and slowed to much the car would hook in hard and get loose. still with a slight push.
running pretty much the stock setup with the 6* casters in 17.5
check for tweek and all other settings were good. so what can i do to keep the rear from kicking out if i get off the throttle to fast. this was touch on a little about 20 pages back but faded off.
thanks

4 degree blocks are a great place for 90% of the carpet racing, and 550 front oil will help the car feel a little bit more mellow.

witz dan, just looked at your set up, same one I had on the car. Check the black drive shaft cups they might have marks on them from binding when they bottom out.

dan - increasing your dampening should help too. i suspect you have a ton of chassis rub marks w/ the 350wt - your car is probably on the ground in the high speed sweeper. i'd also recommend bumping up the spring rate on carpet. i just tried 3.4 front / 3.0 rear - it was pretty good .. but would probably only work if grip comes up. standing up your shocks in the rear should also improve the 'cut' of the car at high speed.
i've been running a wide rear end setup most of the season with my t3 - added an extra 1.5mm everywhere in the rear. the wide rear will help improve overall stability too.
how much dual rate do you have in your car? you might just have too much throw in hopes of getting through the sweeper and it is causing the car to be loose in the infield. i'd also recommend equaling your front & rear camber to 1.5mm and then removing some dual rate.

true, but it depends on whats available for overall traction. The biggest component to making a car fast for me, is balance.... the grip can lick balls but just as long as your not drifting or plowing with the front. Lap times can be decent. Then you just mess with stuff for corner speed . That's how I do it anyhow.
