Assuming traction is super high like on carpet on road racing more role is only good to a extent then car begins to traction roll.
OK now if u limit the chassis role to much it will traction roll.
Now that we r on a tight rope balancing beam hear is the question I have
With a low inner camber link mount ( high roll center ) the tire keeps a more negative to strait up profile wile a side load is applied thru a turn , in my eyes the more contact the center of a tire keeps with the track the more traction it has available for the tire .
OK if u run a high inner link ( low roll center ) the tire is more actively changing Camber as a side load is applied thru the turn meaning the Camber goes in the positives (leaning out ) making the contact patch transfer to only the outer area of the tire . How does this promote more grip?
I'm not sure but i think it has to do with weight transfer. If you ride a 1:1 gocart you are told to lean outward in the turns to get more grip. You put more weight on the outside tires and at the same time create more preasure and grip?
And when your rc car is rolling more it puts more weight on the outside wheels and thereby creating more grip?
