I also reduced rear droop from 5 to 6 as I noticed I was lifting the rear inside tire when cornering. That helped a tad and the rear tire seems to stay planted but I'd like to resolve this traction roll problem. This is in vta at a 1550g race weight.

Thanks much

Is it a similar effect to having the rear belt tighter than the front? I can definitely feel that.

Im running on a small and rather tight asphalt track with low to medium traction.

My setup:
Base asphalt exept for
1mm rollcenter spacers on the bulkheads instead of 2 mm (front and rear)
rear shocks in hole 3
0,5 degrees of arm sweep front
Protoform Mazda Speed 6 body (LTCR already ordered)
Ride Re32
17,5t boosted or 10,5t

My problem:
I just dont have enough traction.
Loose rear end on corner exit, massive understeer through fast corners, slight understeer in medium speed corners and massive understeer in slow corners entry to middle.
I also drove a Tamiya teamdriver's car and his 417 v5 was just that much better so its not the trackconditions in general. He didn't even use the raceberry conversion kit

Tried a lot of stuff already, nothing really worked. So please help me. Any ideas are welcome

Regards,
David

If you still have problems try make the car softer and make it roll more.

I ran the 17.5 blinky class that race.

Mainly rear diff height, rear diff oil, rear roll center blocks and a bit less rear droop. Saucing entire front tire nets me much faster laps but I get quick traction rolls on occasion so I've been saucing only 1/2 of the front tire and eating the .1-.2 a lap knowing I can at least drive the car hard w/o traction roll. I also tried 3/4 front tire sauce and it still traction rolled.

1 - lower your ride height from 5.5 to 5.2
2 - lengthen your camber links 1 hole, currently you are in the shortest hole. Increase the length.
and / or remove 1mm from the rear outside camber link / remove 1mm from the front inside (on the bulk head) camber link.
3 - Reduce your spring rate 1 step in the front (dummy down the response rate of the car)

Have you tried a softer front spring or even the progressives?
