Could anyone help to give me some advice?
The current layout of the track I'm playing contains lots of short straights then U-turns.
My T3 2012 is lacking mid-corner steering and also experiencing on-power push. Seems the rear is dialed too much.
I'm using basic asphalt setup except with 3000t rear diff oil and 1mm inner camber link shim both front & rear. Have tried using smaller deg of diff oil but push even hard

Ive never been so happy with a touring car before. This is an amazing car.

Anyway, the '12 is great. Mine's actually got too much grip right now, and doesn't seem to roll enough. I'm gonna put the XRay shocks back on for racing this week, and then start trying to figure that out.

Adding shims to the outer front link on the c hub does what?
More angled links will raise the roll center, provides more camber gain and typically increases traction

Making the front wider then the rear does what?
Increasing the track width will make that end of the car more stable and will typically generate less lateral grip.

Flatter links in general are considered stiffer and angled links are considered softer...
Remember whatever change you do will effect the overall balance of the car, so you are not just effecting one side or end of the car!

.Most of the indoor setups I've seen seem to like 450 oils in the shocks.
You could also try softer front springs.
My experience on Friday while talking to better drivers was to make the front shocks more vertical to get the front tyres to bite to prevent understeer.
Not sure if that's better just for corner entry.
Also make sure you are running the shortest top links at the front.
Perhaps lengthen the rears and reduce rear toe to free the back end up.

For sure I'm running the shortest top links at the front since it's the default asphalt setting.
Thanks!
