I had my E3.0 on the track for the 3rd time yesterday, after the first time with stock setup I had bad wheel bounce on small sharp bumps. So I balanced my suspension per this thread, worked out the oil wt. I like the way the shocks are handling bumps now, jumps well also. My experience out this time was the back end sliding out easily after landing and turning immediately for a corner. Also understeer on corner exit, turn in seemed fine. Hard on brakes into corner rear was planted. So scratching my head thinking of suspension geometry, what to try. I was at upper links same hight and length front and rear. Same sway bars, lightest also. Hard to change driving style when turn is just after a landing, gotta turn or hit the pipe. My shocks are a lower frequency to deal with bumps, so I thought I need more roll stiffness. Also, rear wheels wearing more on outside between middle and edge. So too much roll, right? Also causing rear washing out? I shortened links in the rear, hard to tell any difference. Shortened front to match, felt like I could drive the buggy faster and rear wasn't as loose. On power steering improved, but really helped to quick tap brakes half way through corner then more than enough on power steering. Any suggestions? Could really use the help. Also rear tire wear, harder on bead area like wanting to get torn off the wheel. No matter setup always harder on rear bead and sidewalls than front. Front wear is about even across, after shortening front link noticeable more inner tire wear.
