The rear chassis weight made the car more controllable under power mid-turn for me.

The 7 cars are pretty loose out of the box compared to the predictable 6 series.

Depends on your setup. From day one, never had a loose car

El Diablo, what diff fluids are you using?

Loose relative to 6r. Loose isn't a bad thing

Just like you, I've never had a loose car or car that pushed either?? Setup always dialed in 100% ...


Diff fluids depends on track conditions.

Typically I will run 7-5-3 with under drive in rear. Will use any combination of 7s, 5s and 3s in diffs and under-drive rear or normal diff depending on track and conditions.

It's the rear diff fluid and the under drive in the rear is compounding the problem.
With the standard gears in the car and 4k in the rear the throttle trigger will get touchy. It hasn't mattered what gear is in the rear with 3k, it's just about un drivable.
Try 7/7/5 with kit stock gears.
I start with 10/10/6 everywhere, standard ring&pinion.

Hardly up drivable with three in the rear. I run 5/7/3 on both loose and high grip tracks and it's perfect. Rotates beautifully around hairpins and turns on a dime elsewhere. Punching it to come out of a corner it squares up 10x faster than 6 or 5k

I pretty much run box stock set up, but have tested many things. I find with 3k in the rear it's more planted and predictable out of corners. With 5k it was just a little too twitchy for me, the back end would come around after the apex of the corner in some spots at my local track. I much prefer 3k in mine. Just to clarify, I run stock gearing and I have 30g of weight in the back

Go to 3* rear toe.cstock out the bix setup is 2.75*..Fast easy to do,you should have that pill insert. My son always runs 3*, we run the same setup everywhere! Pretty much box stock except for piston,oil,springs.. No weight either. Play with rear camber length.. Look at All of batlle's setups, he runs 3* all the time. Drake never does.. We always run 3-4k in the rear

Sorry if this is a noob question but....Which pill give you 3 degrees? Also, is there a chart anywhere that will show pill/toe angle?

hairymuffin

Notice dot to the lower outside corner

There is another page for more settings.. Also see where your front pill setting is

Upper settings

Thank you for the attachments! That helps a lot.

So by "upper" and "lower" setting, do they mean the hub position?

No, its referring to the rear square pill. The square pill has 3 different positions for toe, and the upper/lower refers to the two options for anti squat. Although you can mess with the toe settings a bit by using different spacers on the hub.
