If you want more rotation in the rear off power use a 30k.
Try using a softer bar in the rear too, that may help you, but try one thing at the time so can identified that changes.

It is so nice to see 1/8 GT is growing in the country of Philippines as well. Keep up the good work guys. I would like to go there and do some 1/8 GT racings with guys as well.

Lower your rear roll center by raising the inner link mounting point, The car will rotate into the turn off power.

Great job on the race and your 'pictorial' to share with the rest of us GT/IGT types.

'BASSMAN' might need a fishing pole for that 'down-time' when he's not 'tweaking' his car !!!!

Is that 'HongNor' a 'buggy-conversion' they race in GT ??????

Please forgive my ignorance... I am wondering what the difference is between the stock suspension brackets and the optional ones? Also, is there a on-line hobby shop that carries Serpent parts that is near Ohio? I am looking for a place I can order parts in an emergency without having to pay a ton for quick shipping; by the time mlhs orders parts and I receive them it takes about 4 days.

team mugen...............

Thanks for the race video. That first six minutes with 1 and 2 was intense. Showed some great driving AND sportsmanship. That sure looked like a great bunch of 'happy racers'.

I know that will get 'Bassman's' juices flowing !!!!!

I am also curious as to which Nova engines you guys are using........

Thanks

600266 Higher rear lower pin (higher rear roll center)
600267 Lower rear lower pin (lower rear roll center)

600265 Use it to put more anti-squat on the rear

what set up is everyone using
I am using the stock 300k F and 40K front but it is not responsive and wont turn in quick. Paolo's set up says 200K and will try it. Is this a good set up for Porter track?
