Initial D,

A buddy of mine was watching my car go through the infield section at my local track and noticed that the inside rear tire was lifting off the asphalt. Do you believe that is due to not enough droop in the rear of the car-( because I don't have a spacer in there), which then tends to loose traction in the rear too? I am going to check my upper a-arm on the "binding" issue. I am currently using + 4 droop.

I would reckon you are getting too much chassis roll from not using the rear anti-roll bar. I run about +4 droop myself and never have seen this problem yet.

also, if that wide belt is an option, then wat does it do? and how is it for u??

InitialD

supra, that belt is not even a Serpent option I got that belt from a belting shop. It's 7 mm wide

If you need a wider belt, you can use the 6361 belt meant for the front of the Vector / Veteq / 950 car. It's 6 mm wide. I recommend that you change the stock 4 mm belt when it is busted (if you bust it). Thinner belts provide less drag. The rear belt hardly gets stripped. The side and the mostly the front gets stripped.

InitialD

Well, it's just for peace of mind But then again, I changed it when I had the belt and that was during the time I was assembling the car.

More reliability? But I actually never saw a need to change the stock 4 mm rear belt. Change it only when you see the need. The wider the belt, the more drag it gives the car...

ok.. another question... boy.. do they keep coming...lol... anyways, i just finised putting on the rear diff and putting on that top part... now.. the rear belt is looser than the front... is this ok??

InitialD

I think he has the rear antiroll bar. Just lacking the front. The front end could be rolling a lot and this could have made the rear end tire lift. Just my suspect.

InitialD

That could be the problem. Maybe there's too much FRONT chassis roll due to the lack of a front sway bar that makes the rear end lift.

Try the front sway bar. If you're lacking steering, set the front sway bar to the softest setting. If you're still lacking front traction, use a softer tire compound or perhaps the 40 shore Nitro Shoes

InitialD

When you say you "open up the mid range for more fule flown", what do you mean? Counterclockwise on the brass needle (middle speed needle) or physically opening up and widening the hole of the needle where the main fuel flows?

I thought that the NovaMax egnine that I saw had a larger diameter needle on the mid speed in the carb for bigger flow. I may be wrong.

Yes, parts are expensive. Especially for the smaller parts... But generally, the parts last you longer. In a race, I prefer parts that can take the punishing than have parts that are cheap but crap out on you in the middle of a race.

Yes, sometimes getting a second kit for spares may be a good idea. If you look at the economics of it, the overall price of the kit (even brand new and not 2nd hand) will always turn out cheaper than the separate parts combined.

Best is for parts that you will not need as spares like the 2 speed gearbox and ball diff, you can sell them off separately. You may want to have a spare Centax II clutch if you have a spare engine. It's always nice to have your spare engine already fitted with the Centax II clutch. Just pop the engine with clutch in the car and go. People around the pit may think you're somekind of sponsored driver of some sort

Same as for shocks... Having a complete spare set will enable you to build one specifically for different types of tracks. Just swap the shocks and you're good to go
