Brushless set-up
Hey all,
I had a mixed weekend at the Novak. When I ran 4 deg caster-car was a dream to drive. Just about anyone would have loved it-from a driveability standpoint. But when I ran 6 deg caster-car was a lot faster, but mine could be crazy looose too. I ended up with 6 deg caster, LRC and 0.032" shim for antidive.
My set-up I think is a Trackside-Jack only set-up, but here it is if anyone wants to try it. Its basically the way it is because my car had so much steering and rotation that it needed to be toned down, while still having a lot of steering. Sounds crazy-but I guess you had to be there. I was VERY happy with this set-up every run, though it was loose some runs (like a tweak) to the right one run, to the left another run and perfect other runs. I need to take car apart to find out why!!
