Those who have fallen by the way, did so because having a good product is maybe only 25% of the challenge. Supporting...

Not FT8 specific but general frontie stuff to fix an oversteering car in low grip:
Thicker diff - you need big steps in diff oil in frontie. E.g. go from 200k to 2M.
More weight on the front....

Agree about the wide setup window. Here in the UK I'd change the diff; 4, 5 or 7k depending on grip and track layout. Camber link shims. And flex (add/remove screws). That's about it.

I only put mine on a setup station if I've had a roll or hit a barrier. In those situations, angles can change, but that's true of all the modern TCs. Definitely not needed every run.

Sad news indeed. I used his Rollcentre Calculator before it became RC Crew Chief.

Bob was a very smart and helpful guy, two things that don't always go together.

Probably just spares of the various plastic parts then. Corners tend to pop off in an impact, which stretches the plastic parts. They can be popped back on, but will come off much easier next time.

Depends on your driving skill and what type of track you're racing on.

For a good driver on a European style outdoor track, zero spares required. The car is strong and durable.

It is something that happens unfortunately. Most drivers leave the middle bumper screw out, it gives a chance for the two outer screws (which are only into plastic) to rip out of the bumper rather...

At first I thought the oil was leaking around the o-ring. I tried different o-rings and even Dow55 o-ring grease, but it didn't help.

So I then did a simple test, putting a freshly built damper on...

This diagram sums most of it up. A few more notes:

The materials are important.
The compensator needs to be closed-cell neoprene.
'Closed cell' means it has lots of tiny closed air cells that...

I tried the Yokomo cups, they have a lot of slop, they're far too big for the AMX 4.8mm balls.
I also tried various 3racing 4.8mm rod-ends, again too much slop.

Best slop-free option seems to be...

A stiffer rear spring setting will make it a little more stable on corner entry, but will have more steering mid to exit.

Does 12th indoor need 4wd? Seems like they have almost unlimited grip already. This just adds weight and friction. Might be fun outdoors though!

Your spring settings are very soft in the rear, and hard at the front, so I'd expect it to understeer a lot mid-to-exit. Try adjusting so that you're around 105gf/mm rear and 75gf/mm front.

I've tried the 32X and the 32M.
