First pic shows steering links swept back to reduce akerman
Second pic shows upclose the flipped steering rack and bulkhead material removed for clearence.
Third pic shows how we use a 414m belt instead of the narrower 415 belt to keep it from slipping during foam MOD.
If anyone is interested in my setup from this race lemme know.

Any suggestions?

re
Yes i did run a custom 3mm upperdeck, it was made by a good friend from muchmore racing. You can get the same feel with using two of the stock decks glued/screwed together. As for the damper stay, its the stock piece that came with the car.
The mod i made to the car reduces akerman, which takes the "inside tire scrubbing" effect away mid corner making it smoother and easier to drive. For asphalt more akerman is better but for foam you must decrease it or the car will be very inconsistent. The difference is night and day...trust me
I will be postin my exact setup form the weekend very shortly.
if anyone is interested heres a video sumone shot of the modified A-main at fastcats..
