Traction Rolling
#76
Tech Regular
What Mark and I have found when the grip comes up at places like Rug Racers and Eversley on the Sweep tires is to reduce the droop all round and widen the car on the front hex. Also tend to start with a slightly heavier oil compared to, say, Carpet Wars and Sorex tires.

I had also reduced camber to get rid of grip at/near max corner load, but now I've come back up to normal amounts (1.5-2').
Where I had originally been unable to use any additional camber gain, I've now gone crazy adding camber gain into the front end and it just keeps gaining traction.
Since I started gluing the sidewalls of my front tires, the changes I've made have allowed me to consistently go 3/10ths faster.

its not easy to drive a nervous car,I can do it, but its not very comfortable....

I had originally laid the front shocks down (which gives more of a progressive spring rate because the angle of the spring to the arm keeps getting closer to 90') and now I've raised them up a bit (which sped up the whole weight transfer) and the car is understandably better in the quick left-right-left corners.

Tried using softer springs at the weekend, went down from 3.0-2.6 to 2.8-2.6. This did help reduce the traction roll, only had it a couple of times in the final.
I didn't want to drop the rear too much as I was loosing steering as it was.
What sort of things would you guys change to bring some steering back?

You can give it more Ackerman or caster (directly with different blocks or indirectly with more anti-dive).

I think you mean kick-up rather than anti-dive

Yep, sorry, my mistake.

Keep working on it. I've followed your posts and can tell you will figure it out. It will vastly improve your setup experience once you have it mastered. Give it time and maybe even consult a few local guys that are 'seasoned' racers.
It is a long slow learning curve.
