- very touchy on power with bumpy condition.

i've tried a lot of settings but with some very small improvement. the car is realy fast on one lap, at 0.1s of my best lap time on my track but is no constant over a long run. i make a lot of fault on the track

do you guys have met the same problem ? do you have found something to fix that ? some way to improve the overall stability.
so far i've tested.
more contraint en side springs
stiffer side springs
steel metal rear axle
offset on the front upright
more caster in the front (with exotek front arms)
changing the piston side damper , with a grease damper (10000 to 30000)
of course the car is not tweaked, i've checked but remains very touchy
Hey Ph3nyx,

This is a setup from the UF1 site used by some of their competitors for carpet. From my understanding it's a really good base line. The set up sheet is at the bottom of the page. Sorry I can't post pdf files.
