Anyone have a good setup with the Formula E body, or been able to get Satoshi’s setup sheet translated?

I’m still trying to find rear grip and am struggling, especially in high speed sweepers. The car loses the rear end mid/late into the corner and I’ve gone ass-end into the wall quite a few times. I was losing upwards of a second a lap because I couldn’t hold through the high speed sweepers this last week, and we’re running the same layout for our regional TCS in a week and a half.

ah, I forgot to test that. I’ll give it a shot and see if removing it helps.

Default TCS TC-01 Car Setup

After seeing this car not grow much in popularity due to its extremely dificult nature of tunning causing massive oversteer, I have decided to reveal my Asphalt TCS Car Setup in it's entirety to encourace more people to get this car going from the get go. I have sadly seen too many get it and then sell it for not being able to tune it correctly. I was also dissapointed that the only other car setup online was not in english, so I have made sure to carefully detail everything in clear english for easy reading. Anyhow, cheers and see yall at the track!

thank you!

how are you adjusting rear camber? I haven’t figured out how to make an adjustment without causing other problems.

Adjusting the suspension in this car is Caster, then Camber, then toe angle and then Ride Height/Droop. Anytime you change caster, camber or toe, you must essentially redo everything

Spacing out the lower arm further. You'll want adjustable turnbuckles for the front and rear hubs. I've got a set for the rear to dial in -3 degrees toe.

got it. that makes sense. i've got adjustable turnbuckles on the rear now but got it in my head that i wouldn't be able to adjust camber with shims like that without screwing everything else up... but i hadn't actually tested it since putting on the adjustable turnbuckles.

i'm also curious about the optional suspension mounts (specifically part 54787)... is that action emulated by shimming the stock mounts and the only advantage to the alu mounts is the more secure attachments and smoother action?

thanks!

The aluminum mounts only offers more caster/ride height adjustments and more fluid suspension movement (as the stock plastic ones will turn egg shaped after prolonged use and hard crashes, thus jamming movement). Note, they are a few grams heavier than the stock plastic ones, but for sure are worth it

Other than with the optional suspension mounts (ordered but won’t get here in time for TCS) is there a way to reduce camber up front beyond removing the shims?

I've removed shims but it’s still ~2deg camber

Nope, the plastic bits are bigger and you cant dremel them out per TCS Rules

Default Propeller Shaft Comparisons

Here’s an interesting bit on the center propeller shafts weight comparison




The stock shaft is 11.2 grams $
The single cardan is 11.6 grams $$
The double cardan is 11.6 grams $$$

With the double cardan shaft being only 20$ more, its kinda pointless to get the single cardan as its the exact same weight as a double and only the double allows you to remove/install the motor much easier
