It was a boring sunday and I built the "steering" in my rear. Did anyone have the same and have some experience?

Today is tested it and it felt quite good. In slow corners there is much more traction in the rear and the car rotates better. But in fast corners it is a little bit unstable.

I adjusted a 2° toe angle and when it is deflected it moves to 3°.

Here are some pictures:

Cool

Looks interesting walzjer

Found all the steering I wanted running Mod asphalt this weekend
135f track temp avg
med grip

Lower rear rc, 1k rear diff, front spool, more ackerman, and wheel-track adjustments
Mostly kit settings aside from that

BD7-13
car was consistent over 3 days, low temp mornings, and eve's faster laps, but mostly same balance
3k rear diff was better in the eve when grip was higher

Hi walzjer,
Looking at your photos, I'm guessing you have installed the standard 4deg caster c-hub, which gives you a lot of rear kickup. It would be a good idea to try using a 2deg c-hub and note the difference.
Also play around with the inner spacer hight as well, just imagine that when the car roll, it would compress the outter spring and at the same time extand the inner spring, so it would give you different angles on both sides.
I haven't tried this settings myself, but just thought it could start the discussions!

@fatchickterian

I guess that there are 4°. It was my old front from my BD5WC.

But i will try to test some different spacers. I think thats a good idea.
