So I installed a set of Reflex racing ECS shafts at the beginning of a normal race day..... I chased the cars poor handling for the entire practice session blaming low grip levels yada yada.... finally i went back to my standard setup which is essentially the kit setup with a few camber link shim changes and a 1mm shim between the steering block and link on the ARS system.
Basically the car felt totally disconnected from the track and would randomly snap over steer sometimes on corner entry sometimes on exit..
I didn't manage to finish a single qualifier as it was to dramatic to drive in close competition and I didn't want to cause more harm to others on the track.
Before the main I removed the ECS shafts and went back to the standard kit shafts and the car was a rocket I manged to bump from dead last in the C main to an overall finish for the day second in the A main.
I doubt others have seen this but does anyone have a clue what I am missing?

It would bind significantly if no filing were done, and it would affect the whole front suspension if not detected.
Another guy had the same Arrowmax axles and rechecked his car and found that one of his was binding slightly also and corrected the issue.
Guess if you're in a hurry and just jam the axles into the driveshafts adapters you may not notice it and your car suffers handlingwise.
Guess it can happen if the tolerance in the pin is off or if the pin is not inserted in the axle end dead center.

To directly change the roll centre you can either change the height of the hinge pin and/or change the height on the inner camber link. Everyone would agree on that I expect? The camber gain does change when you do this - Indirectly it may be.
What are you suggesting is the primary change to effect the camber gain? The outer camber link height or the length of the camber link? They are the only two left

Per the vid is pretty much how I've played around to see the effects

Altering of the roll centre does have an effect on the camber gain, and vice versa. It's all interconnected.
Raising and lowering the lower arm has most affect on the roll centre, but still influences the camber gain
Raising and lowering the upper link has more influence on camber gain, but still does influence the roll centre as well. Same as shortening and lengthening the link.
EDIT - cplus beat me too it..

Would sticking a chassis protector to the bottom of the chassis not alter the flex characteristics of the chassis? If you are serious about the handling and tweaking of your car.

Even though you feel your car is fast and everything, it could maybe be better without the sticker?
Just out of curiosity, do you use the sticker because you don't want to get your chassis scratched?

OK, just thought if you were extremely meticulous about setup, a chassis sticker would be a no go.
