15 wt AE oil - no limiters; no shock oil was better
58mm shock length
#2 hole from inner on front shock tower (blue aluminum shock tower installed)
M wheelbase (using suzuki swift body)
5mm hex hubs w 1.0 shims just for rear
rear sway bar installed - silver
ride height - I just eyeball the a-arms parallel to setup board
. I tried 5mm. It didn't work. I even went lower than that. It still didn't work.
1-2 deg toe out
Tamiya S-grip premount tires
One thing I noticed is the car has too much roll. Any help is appreciated.
I am not an expert by any means but here it goes...
Do you have to run Tamiya tires? They tend to traction roll if the front sidewalls aren't glued. Especially if they are worn. We run on a low grip parking lot and have a lot of luck with sweep mini tires.
I also have a thin weight bar I can slide in with the battery. I have a few different sizes up to 70 grams. I just slide it in and see if it helps. It helps a lot with traction rolling. And easily removable for different tracks.
If you think there's to much roll you could and spacers or o rings in the shocks.
With a mini it's 80% tires. I fought with a worn set of tcs spec tires for a weekend. I Borrowed a new set and the car was dialed.
Hope something helps
