Are you running the aluminum chassis or the CF chassis?

aluminum , till you asked I never even thought about the carbon lol.
I don’t see how your car isn’t carrying enough corner speed to traction roll since your not gluing the tires .
This is the starting setup I had from a few weeks ago before southern nationals .
Since then I’ve changed slightly
1; 6*long wheel wheel base and added 1.75mm of toe shims
2; I’m running all 5 10g weights in front bumper
3; running a 280g 4600 pack
4; added 15g to motor side
5; have a 25g weight as far to the rear as possible (this helped it track strait since our strait has a bump on it .
6; I’m not running 0* front camber
7; tires are glued @60.5mm
8; 5mm front hide height
9; no droop all around . I removed 99% basically tightening the droop screws until it affected ride height then backed them off slightly

Im confused.... You stated that you're not running 0* front camber and the setup sheet shows 4*
Also, you said 1.75mm front toe shim. Am I missing it somewhere? Lol

Was the added rear toe shim due to the additional Caster?

trust me, you can traction roll with the 25.5 at the gate and Austintown.

the summer slam layout was weird, I didn’t have rolling issues, but the car was really on the nose (didn’t just apply to the FWD)

I may have a set of tires you can try that are already glued, but I suspect with your USGT, you should too.

and yes I’m lurking 😎

You mentioned mounting the ESC under upper deck in the middle. Are you running the cooling fan?

Car was flawless in first practice sessions.. Once grip came up, (Qualifying) so came the traction-rolling (no surprise)...

...luckily i was able to get the setup balanced for the extra grip just in time for when it really mattered

This car is simply AWESOME..

hey Osherman
I watched the second A2 main and your car look much better and faster than the leader.. I can tell you were trying to make a clean pass without taking the leader out many times..
Good job
