I had a similar issue. I increased the rear camber to -3 and that seemed to help. I used to run the purple springs but like the orange and pink combo better.

The biggest issue I have with it is from mid to end of corner. I got a very good turn-in but I loose rear traction at once and have a hard time to keep the car under control. I am using the car on a track built by Joey down here in Rio de Janeiro and we got very high grip on it. I am using the Procircuit Hot Dices Soft compounds. Rear upper links are long in lower hole on tower. Any ideas what I can do about?

Running the rear camber link long can actually make it break traction, it does add traction but it can break traction fast

I had the issue as well with the rear camber link in the middle whole, so I don't think that this is motivating the break. It feels like the car has just too much front traction and is "throwing" the back around...

Maybe experiment with sway bars. My cars are extremely locked down in the rear. But, I know some guys run the 2.4mm in rear and I run the 2.6 (stock). Just a thought. I do run the lowest hole on for the camber link on the tower.

Ben, I have to get the swaybars.. as always (or most of the time) here in Brazil, this will take some time to get... I did run both middle and lower holes on the tower, the problem did continue. I have been running on a low traction track as well with the car, and there its much more balanced. The problem really comes up on a high grip track. The front just keeps all the grip and the backend gets thrown around... I am thinking about maybe running 7-5-5 to take some steering away. What springs are you using, Ben? I have tested all blue and all pink so far. Blue seems way to soft overall, but I might mix them, pink front, blue rear. or even more extrem, white front, pink rear.

Try to increase the rear camber.

gofast072 08-20-2013 03:09 PM

i think everyone is using the vp pro progressive springs, they are waaaay better. I run pink in front and red in rear, unless track is extremely loose then ill switch to orange rear.

And maybe the cement in the shocks is a little to do with it. I'm at 350-300 and the front still feels heavy

Greg B 08-21-2013 06:58 AM

The VP Pro pink in front and orange in the rear are the ticket for me.

If you are after side bite, use 1 down for the anti-squat. That takes away forward bite but adds side bite so the rear feels more locked in. I am using that right now because the last track I raced on was whipping the rear around turns too fast. The 1' anti-squat rather then 3' solved it.

Thanks Gene, that's an easy one to adjust...

You could also raise the rear inner camber link to add side bite.

i can say enough about the intech br6, this thing is so dialed, it drove like a slot car. I would have had the win but had a flameout in the pits on my last stop, my heavy fingers fault, tank was dry coming up the pit lane.

I have heard that the plastic is bad on these buggies, is that true? I am driving the MBX6-r now and planning to change brand next season. How would you who have driven both compare the Intech and the mbx6?
