on the front for camber u rote 1 block in front.
i think u have the caster and camber mixed up

and u never gave a measurement for camber at all.

and in degrees for the caster it would b eithre 8 dgree or 10 degree depending if its a big or little block.

Hello everybody.. I believe that my Overster problem is solved now. What i did is setup my alignment right and then abit particular with my tires selection.

My Setup for last weekend race is:-
Car Model = Kyosho V1RR + Mugen MTX3 rear upright (M1RR - Manticore/AMGracer version)

Front
Toe out 1°
Diff oil 10K
Sway Bar 45°
Shock oil 40wt
Tires-Sorex Tire 40R
Medium Soft Insert
Camber 1 blok in front ( Not sure of that on degree)

Rear
Toe in 1°
Diff oil 7K
No sway bar used
Shock Oil 30wt
Tires-Sorex Tire 40R
Soft Insert
Camber
why only 1degree toe in on rear 2/3 is a minimum.

I run on my S 1 toe in all the time, and it only just looses traction when i give it full power, and then its understeering.

Default 2° Toe in - Rear

Yea... it is correct it is a mistake there - my toe in rear is 2°. Understeer and Oversteer is it also can be effected by how you punching the trigger? Meaning during cornering - sharp 180° corner punching trigger frequently seem make the car about to spin but in the way sharp cornering -Oversteer

Dont know what it is. But the car is just perfect for me to drive.
Give it full throttle mid corner, and it just understeers a bit there, going to try and correct it next meet.

Add a little of Camber to the front wheels, beware it modifies too the entering into a turn.

add some front droop.
more front droop = more under steer on power
less front droop = more over steer on power.

esham;

I might add that you could have an overall traction problem and need to go to a softer compound tire. Otherwise try 'V-ONE-S's suggestion.

if you go into the V-One S thread, on about page 96, there is a file by Squizzy Taylor there, it explains all the uses of droop and what it affects where.
