Great job to Weylin and all other Schumacher drivers at the IIC race.

At the IIC (med bite) the car had more of an oversteer than loose feeling. By that I mean the car was super locked in unless you turned the wheel hard, then it would break free pretty hard (not a very controllable slide), which is why I could pivot it around the 180 or something if I needed. Which is why I said the setup is dialed if you like lots of steering, it allows you to put it where ever you want it. Here are some things I would try though to tighten up the rear end or make any slide more controllable.
-first, just sauce less front tire (I did 1/2, try 1/4)
-stand rear shocks up one hole
-change rear WB to med/long instead of med/short or longer even
-raise rear hinge pin .5 or 1mm and go to silver rear bar so the suspension pressures the rear tire more instead of rolling as much, and then the silver bar will allow the rear end to roll more. Do these 2 changes at the same time.

I think that this is right. Weylin, let me know if it isn't and a big congrats!

Yep, that's all correct except for one thing. That setup sheet is on the EC foam spec car, where I was running the asphalt towers. So on the carpet towers pictured on that setup sheet the rear shocks would be 2 holes farther in. Or on the asphalt towers that I ran, the shocks would be in the 3rd hole in from the outside.

Question for the masses:
When you remove the raiser plate from under the diffs; I'm assuming this means that you are also removing the raiser plates that sit directly under the top deck to accomodate, is that correct? If that is the case what happens to the washer under the servo assembly that comes up through the top deck? I'm not sure that there is enough space there to run this spacer and hafe a lower top deck.
If you guys have anything i should look out for when making this conversion please let me know. I'll like to try this setup for tomorrows club race.

Thats what i thought. I was just trying to vision the change so i dont run into anything I'm not expecting. Have you tried this setup by the way? Did you have much success with it? And how are you guys acheiving 2.75 roll center as mentioned [HERE].
