Agreed. I tried 50wt Serpent shock oil with 5x1.2 holes in the piston and I have already found it a little stiff for my track.

If you have a high speed on throttle sweeper, you need to stiffen the rear to keep the rear from bottoming out and loosing on power steering. That would depend from one track to another track. Stiffening it would be like changing to a more steep rear shock angle or by using a harder rear spring.

Have you tried the Loletta shell? That one has a higher front part which allows you to use the standard front shock tower without reverting back to the lower Serpent Lola shock tower.

InitialD

Did you swap in the yellow spring all around WITHOUT changing the 50wt Serpent shock oil or did you use the yellow springs with Serpent 30wt shock oil?

InitialD

I don't know about anybody else but don't you think -4 and -3 for the FRONT camber is a little too excessive? Try 200 mm front trackwidth.

I would also try softer shocks all round (yellow springs with Serpent 30wt oil with 4 or 5 holes) like what Proficar403 advised but use the sway bar to tune and harden the front end to your liking. Works for me.

InitialD

I would do the same on the above except putting the front roll center HIGHER. I found it makes the front end of the car more agile. The camber change in the front would be good going in and out of corners.

Perhaps also loosen a little on the rear ball diff helps the car rotate around the corners easier. A slightly higher rear roll center works too.

InitialD

Yes. I tried it when I was using front solid axle and love the way the front and rear tires wore the same.

In my testings, I have found the shocks to perform better when the shocks stand up more. Front and rear. This is with yellow springs and 40wt Serpent shock oil with 4x1.2 mm shock pistons.

I believe Arct C has answer your question on mytsn forum. He is on of the best guy

On the contrary, more camber changes in the front tires due to the steeper angles of the front arms would give you more traction in and out of corners.

I've already downloaded that vid some time back. Thanks to Uncle Sow.

You know what, that driving style is very similar to Thai driver Suruth when I watch him drive in Thailand. Very agressive in and out of corners with the rear swaying in and out like that.

If I have the time, I'll try the LB instead this weekend to lower the rear roll center. But I think I also need to lower my front roll center to stock position to balance it out with the change in the rear.

how can I expect my s710 to handle on the track with yellow springs all around and 30wt oil basically the stock set-up Im waiting for my NovaMega

Pyramid

Or higher ride height... if you prefer and the car has no traction roll problem

InitialD

The stock setup works on most tracks. Try changing the kit tires to tires that you really know the shore number. Use equal shore front and rear. The kit tires are like 40 shore front and 37 shore rear.

Once you get it running, then write down what you found lacking in the car's handling i.e. understeer, oversteer etc. Then fine tune from there.

InitialD

Yeah true. Using harder rear springs than front also means that provided you do not have rear traction problems either.

yah i need to give more ster for my 710, either i used soft front harder rear or lower tyre shore for my front
