I wish I could apply but there isn't enough 1/18 racing around here to be worthwhile... and at the moment its mainly on asphalt when I do

One Great Big "I'M SORRY" goes out to all you scalpel lovers....I had a great car this year in stock class and a good car in the mod class but I took myself out of contention by tapping the boards way to much and loosing confidence in my driving ability at the Micro Nationals this year.....Came home with a very disappointing 2nd place in stock pan car and a even more disappointing 4th place in mod pan car.....Until next year.....

Yes the scalpels will be out in full force next year and at any race from now on.

Hey guys, i have difficult finding how to suppress bump-steer on my scalpel. It makes the steering so ridiculously twitchy...

What angle/steering link positions do you use to avoid this???

try spacers under the pivot balls 1-3 mm

[heretic]

good piece of advice; thanks

I already did it, helped a little, I even tried to put the R steering arm to the left and vice versa + add spacers, but still the bump steer is very present... But it is the "less worse" solution I found so far. How do you guys do to drive with such a caricatural angle in your linkages? It's very strange because, if I do the same my car is impossible to drive, it just wants to "add steering" at every corner.

( BTW the rest of my setup is supposed to give me the nicest front end, almost no tire additive, a lot of additive for a long time on the rear tires, low D/R, long wheelbase, etc...)

[DBBIndy]

The bumpsteer is inherent in the basic fron suspension design. A completely different front end is required to really eliminate the bump steer.
