Rear end traction
Raced this weekend and found myself fighting for turn-in/corner entry traction.
First, I moved camber link to outside hole on hub which didnt make much difference at all. The. I went from -3 rear camber to -1 which helped a little but was still not where I wanted it. I already have my steering travel turned down to about 80% and still worked well for the hairpin 180 turns. After races were over, I put +2 hex hubs on front and moved Ackerman position all the way forward with Ackerman plate reversed to numb initial steering. BIG difference. Rear end was much easier to control.

I have a qestion about spring rates.
When comparing to other brands, are the newton/meter rates consistent from brand to brand? So if a mugen spring and a kyosho spring both had the same n/m rating, would they be exactly the same stiffness? Or are there other factors?
Thanks

I hit a steel fence at full speed and actually put a large dent in it yet no damage to the MBX7
Im not sure how happy the engine will be after its peak rpm session but it still seems to be running fine... and its at about 40 liters (10.5 us gal)
I must say the MBX7 is dam awesome!!!, it was my first day running the car after coming from a 6 and I was as quick as and even quicker than guys I usually pull over for without even trying to drive hard... the corner speed and stability of this car is phenomenal!
