What's up Paul? Been running the T4 a about 6weeks now and I'm loving it (mostly)
I'm running in Nashville where EA runs. What I've noticed about the car is that on med-high traction we r getting a lot of build up on bottom of chassis (both sides ) and we have the actual Vegas track and carpet for a few yrs back . What would u do to keep this rubbing to a minimum or at least keep it from building up as think on chassis ?
Set up is :
Front ;kit set up except 2mm shim under outer links and 0 under inner in #2hole
Rear ; kit set up except high role blocks , 5mm under outer link ,.5mm in front of arm 2mm Behind arm (kit 3mm of shims kept arms bound up on my car )
Ride height is 5.4F/5.8R with 1.5uptravel in front /2mm rear up travel
Cars weight bias is about 48%F/52%R(1382g)
Ea6500/70batt / duo 3.5 tq rotor 3.8fdr / futaba bls551/ airtronics MT-4 / lrp sxx v2 spec (no heat sink version)
EA is running a 10.32 fast lap / I'm at 10.57 at best .
Tkanks in advance for any help

[QUOTE=PROMODVETTE;11526265]Would this be the same on a t3'12 with a ltcr in 17.5?[/
Promodvette: sorry, sometimes this thread can get just as unimformational as it is informational. The post was a joke with "express" who was a team mate of mine from the late 1990's, that was some stuff we used to do. You don't want to do that stuff. Thanks!

When I was running the T4 kit setup, it would rub a lot. When I started testing Paul's "Cleavland" setup, it hardly rubbed at all. Just like an 8th inch
Liking the new setup, by the way. Still waiting on the gear diff, but it still seems better than kit setup

Speaking of loose is fast...
I'm running a T3'12 in VTA. I like that is is loose, but in the later minutes of the main it gets a little too loose to the point it does slow. I need to tighten up the rear just a little. What kind of change could I make to just tighten it a little?
