Originally posted by mckrooz Guys, what are the steps to combat a dusty track? Nasty problem today with my back end kicking out.(worse when off throttle) I was running pretty much stock setup with the silver rear sway. I tried everything from removing the sway to standing the shocks up. Camber is -3. My rear droop was at 5. I was told to increase droop. Is this correct? It seems like when the track is dusty, I'm hopeless. :( 40F, 37R. You said you stood the rear shocks up! thats the wrong way for a loose track. Try a lighter diff lube 7000 , try a little caster in the front, go to a softer shore tire on the rear, lighten up on the shock oil a bit, increase rear toe in try a Losi alfa body or bend the tip of the rear wing toward the front of the car, that alone will help on high speed entry into a corner. Also make sure to try the teflon brake pads, if the rear wheels still lock up on entry, try a spring on the brake arm from a clicker writing pen, instead of a piece of fuel tubing. I hope these things help you out. Paul Rush............ |
Originally posted by Bandeira The problem is that with this, you widen the front width by making the tyres touch the ground a little on the diagonal, with this you increase the area of the tyre that touches the ground, which would give you more side bite... and consequently increase chances of flipping over... Patrick Bandeira de Mello - Bandeira Racing Team - Maybe it's largely a question of less camber giving less front grip. :confused: |

Japanese rubber seems better on dusty tracks. |
was wondering what the durability of the mtx-3 was like. who has broken what and when, why?
thanks |
broken things...coz i hit too many stationary objects..
otherwise car is great....you won't regret.. |
teflon brake pads??? is that for real ? what would getting teflon brake pads do besides give you a lot less brake? :weird: :confused: :rolleyes:
|
That's exactly what they do.
With a one way you need probably 10% of the braking power the regular pads can generate. The teflon pads engage much smoother, they are not as grabby as the original pads. Much easier to control with a one way. |
