Would anyone happen to have a set of the eccentric plastic inserts used on the SUS1000 950R rear roll center kit they'd be willing to part with? Just picked up a car that had this setup on it for parts, but it came with the holes-centered inserts.

Hi.
How do you guys set up your transmitter?
I took my 960 to local track this weekend and the car was all over the track.
It was so sensitive. Tried to play with exp and steering speed but couldnt set it right.
I would appreciate all suggestions and advices.

thanks for the support guys!
If i hadnt stripped my front belt i would have been able to hold on to third easy!

Thanks to Paolo , team Kamikaze and Mike S. for all the support!

Turn your expo to zero/linear, at most use -15%. Never turn speed down on steering. Use dual-rate to adjust steering. First use steering ballance to equalize left/right, then set dual rate to get maximum throw (steering wheel hit stop same time as steering knuckles). At track, turn dual rate down to suit needs of track. That is, leave just enough steering in, to negotiate the tightest sections of the track.

I had a lot of steering. I brought my exp to -60 and still my car was unstable and nervous.
I have 3pk hs radio and cant figure out where I could set that dual rate.

I strongly recommend you reset your exp to '0' (linear), untill you have your dual rate set right. You can access it from your menu or have direct access from one of your thumb switches on the grip.

Tried the Serpent Body out this week.....decreased straightaway speed......steering in/out the corner good very planted.....slight wiggle on the straightaway.....Anybody have any suggestions on gurney wing height?

I would suggest at the most 10mm above the top of the body. Running it higher than that has also hurt my straightline speed. Just remeber you are steering much more (in and out of turns) than the time you spend on the straightaway.

The Central/Serpent body works very well with both low and high grip tracks. I have had to turn down my dual rate because it creates that much more grip, steering and downforce. Hope this helps.

When raising the lower pin position in the rear, and therefore roll center, I notice that the car *seems* like it has more camber gain, which I thought would help grip in the corners. Haven't tried it out yet, but does one change negate the other? I'm looking for increased grip out of the corners.

The quickest fix for more grip out of the turns is adding more rear toe in. Some simple fine tuning things you can try are:

softening the rear sway bar
raising the rear body mount position
softer rear springs
or lowering the rear roll center.

Your camber gain will change by adjusting the rear upper arms in or out, not by changing the rear roll center with the lower hinge pins.

Hope this helps

captian

you have more roll when raising the lower pin which wil change the camber more as the car rolls .
when you change your roll center check you droop in will change .

Thanks for the replies.

I was trying to get around having to add more toe to the rear, but I will as a last resort. From what I've dug up through searching, it seems like some talk about traction in terms of camber gain instead of roll center and vice versa, and that increasing camber gain would have the opposite effects on traction if talking about that same adjustment in terms of roll center, i.e. raising the lower arm pin position raises the roll center (lowering traction) but it also causes camber to increase throughout suspension travel (raising traction). I'm just wondering if this is something that's dependent on other variables, or if there's any tradeoff in traction involved in changing one adjustment over the other.

captian

every thing depends on the traction on the track and what tires you are using and how you want the car to react to your driving
