That sucks. It looks pretty simple to make. I'll have to "encourage" Ben to make one next time I see him.

Shims under rear shock tower
Hello all you TC3 mad heads
Could anyone please tell me why some of the team drivers are putting shims under the rear shock tower and what efect this has on the car?
Many thanks

Placing shims under the rear tower will raise the camber link mount holes. Raising (and lengthening) the camber link mount location on the rear tower will increase rear traction but reduce side-to-side stability.
If you raise the rear arm mounts equal with the rear tower, you will keep the standard camber gain properties of the stock suspension geometry but raise the rear roll center. It's hard to determine the purpose without knowing any other modifications to the rear suspension.

Thanks for the quick reply all i know is that they are just putting between 1 & 2mm spacers under the rear tower with no other mods.

Need a little help. I need more rear end traction. I'm running on Carpet. I'm pretty much running Bakers setup out of the magazine. Rear tower on front, spool and all of that. The front end hooks up great, but the rear end want to slide around in the middle and exits of the turns when I get back on the throttle. Any thoughts of suggestions will get greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Setup
Front
Blue springs40 weight
Top middle hole
bottom arm out side
camber links long
F-0 plate or Block
Rear
Silver
35 weight
Top inner
bottom out (old arm) one hole
links long
short wheelbase
R+3+2 plate
Batt rear, Take Off 27 tires
The only thing I can think of doing is going to the green spring in the rear or trying some Sorex28 tires with green and red inserts.
A softer insert would help rear traction correct?
I'm at my whits end with this thing. I can't really do anything else to make the car hook up in the rear that I haven't already tried. It sucks because my car isn't the fastest, but I'm mostly finishing 4th or 5th. If I could get the car to hook up better in the rear I could win some races.

try adding 1mm of droop to the front end and/or lower rear roll center.

he is running rubbers on carpet, although im not at all experienced with rubbers on carpet but it seems like most guys like lighter oil with running those.
