If you have rebuilt them with some fresh rear shock shafts at some point you may have the IF337 66mm rear shafts installed which is what most shops (including A-Main) have incorrectly listed as the replacements for the TKI3 rear shafts.

The stock TKI3 rear shock shafts are IFW149-02 and 63mm long for the medium length rear shocks.

The 66mm rear shafts are for the long rear shocks but they can still be used if you install a limiter and/or crank the shock ends on all the way.
Sonofa! I just got the 66mm shafts from A-Main today. Guess I should check the numbers before ordering.

I'm glad to hear I can run them right down. I now have 2 spare chassis that I can still get some use out of.
I've had another look at the clutchbell wear mark tonight while swapping engines (running in the spec2 tomorrow) and it is still looking fine to me. I think I will end up changing the chassis before any drilling of holes will be necessary.
You'll love the Spec 2 and yep I don't feel the hole is entirely needed but more of the pro's are doing it so maybe they have had unexplained flameouts and are just clutching at straws or there is something to it.
Personally I haven't observed any issues, flameouts, bent engine mount plates, bent cranks, damaged bell or bearings or whatever else others might perceive as a problem.

I have two races on my TKI3 at the moment, plus practice runs, so I'd say about two and a half gallons. There is a triangular wear pattern on the chassis under the clutchbell, right where the edge of the clutchbell is. I am definately going to be drilling the hole, as it is absolutely rubbing. Also you need to consider that if the chassis flexes and your clutchbell flops around after being jigged on the chassis you can break the spur gear.

But I never have had a flameout, except once when another car landed on top of mine.

What's the best way to combat traction rollover. High grip track, wasn't blown out really. Surface wasn't that rough.

I was running -2 rear camber and increased it a bit to -3 then just watched my cornering a bit but just wondering what else I could do.

Running Orange rear/blue front springs and 32.5/45 rear/front oil.

Thanks,
JJ

Hi mate
Try going to 3mm rear roll bar leave the 2.3 front
Put the blue springs back on the rear.
Try lifting the rear camber link to top inside on the shock tower and top outside on the rear hub.
Seems the car is to soft resulting in traction roll
Just my 10 cents worth as this has taken my traction rolling away

Lower your ride heights. I know it will be softer, but it works.

Someone else had mentioned the rear camber link as well. I have so much off throttle steering as it is not sure I would go with the sway bar but doesn't hurt to try it. I debated about the blue springs. Should have tried them.

I did lower the rear a hair on advice from someone. Didn't change the front though.

I'll try some of these changes individually next time to see how it feels. I got there late and only had a few minutes literally of practice I had a bad first heat which didn't tell me anything. The second heat was better but I didn't want to change too much before the main.

Thanks for the advice.
