Yes sir 2.5mm

Why? if you need it at our track, I need your setup because these cars have abundant rear grip, if you want it for looser conditions, try the pro squat setting they have been talking about, I think 2-2.5mm under the rear hanger.

I would generally agree BUT on super high side-bite grip like carpet/fine pile astroturf the car rolls so quickly it almost always collapses and dumps all the weight on the outside wheel.

This causes two problems;
1) once it breaks grip it pivots out and that is the end of that (sometimes the diff out will save you but on mega grip surfaces you'll have the diff tighter for forward drive so probably not)
2) really slows down the cars ability to change direction as it has to come from so far over

For really high grip surfaces a longer link makes the car roll slower (but ultimately further) but the stability it provides allows you to do the other measures which give you the rotation without making the car feel uncontrolably pointy or edgy.

If you look at the shock setups used in Europe you will find oils in the 500cst/350cst range used front and rear with springs like X-gear orange front and X-gear Yellow rear .... it's a different game as the cars don't really slide.

Also as for taking rear roll induced steering away that can actually help on high grip tracks as it controls the weight transfer and thus helps keep the rear flatter through the corners encouraging more controlable rotation.

There was a reason that lengthening the rear link wasn't first on the list!

I won't run on (the only 2) clay tracks in the UK for the simple reason that you ideally want a completely different car, the two really aren't easily transferable IMHO.

Adding weight in the rear in MM makes it easier to drive by settling the car down and also giving you a little more room for error.

I currently run 21g in the rear. Led weights drilled into and by it screwing it down while I envy 2 others who use custom made weights.... all into the newer swaybar rear hanger.

The AE weights for the TC6 have a nice threaded 20g weight.

Hey guys, been really working on my car in MM and weight distribution. I finally found something that is pretty easy to drive, but can turn on a dime if needed as well.

Our track is smooth right now, but can get bumpy, dusty and loose out of the groove.

Here's what I have done to the car to get the battery back as much as possible.





The only thing you need to do is modify the battery braces and shoe goo the RT6 part in place (it fits perfect) unless you want to drill 2 holes for it.


Also here is my current setup.
