I learned the drag brake trick the hard way
Been testing today, 1st I decided to start using this one but Pyramid have another suggestion. He feels that 710 rolls very free if we compare with another car that using gear diff.
Our conclusion is that there is already drag brake in there !! And that "clings" to our mind. No wonder that MTX or G4 car is always faster in particular corner. (Just a hence).
That we decide to use brake on those cornes. After couple of setup change even swap the bodyshells, I think we hit 1 jackpot for small and tight track.
With combination of lower shore for front tire (37F, 40R), 5mm fr caster(in front), very tight ball diff, drs arm on lowest position (all spacer above) and 1 deg rear toe in, the turn in is enough already. And out corner is awesome, the car is always going to exactly where i want. This is very aggresive setup. Steering DR is only 75%.
The smoother one is using same shore(40F.40R) but lower front spring rate (yellow FR, red RR) both using 70wt(TRY) and 3 holes open. Steering DR is maximum.
Pyramid is using different setup but we both beat the local fast guy already (only a practice day). And I still can not catch Pyramid, but I believe this due to driver factor

Sounds like your setup would work on most tracks that I race on but those details would confirm it. Please post.
Thanks!

Not sure what you want to call it. More like a mongrel car. Bits of everything threw on from all the cars. lol. But mainly Serpent.

More or less a game of start showing our faces across the water and hopefully get a few interested to coming over the sea to our side sometime to try and promote the hobby a bit better. I have heard about Pauline before and I've been told she is real fast.

where are you staying? check the restruants and bars at the end of the pier from the hotel 6. Its a good time and good seafood.
Pauline hasn't run in a couple of years, she hasn't run in the last 3 or 4 that I'm aware of, wonder how fast she'll come back. Go meet the Toledo, Detroit crew while your there, those guys are great guys. Brent Gottfried,Ted Hammer , and Lou P. Theres a hoard of guys in our series going down.
Go check out the Mico trailer too. If your in the market for a few cool tools or one of his super trick chassis. He makes the trickest replacement belt car chassis I've ever seen.

Surface Temp is around 60deg C (noon) and about 38 afternoon, but Goldfinger might have better figure as he always carries a temp gun

It actually looks spacious. 2.8 meters is a lot of space.
