If you want to put shims under the rear T-bar pivot, do you shave off some material of the standoff that's mounted on top of the pivot? What effect on the handling should I be looking for when I try that?
I am looking for some more steering , specially on corner entry. I run on a very high-traction track. I use an L4 with CRC grey rears and CRC or TRC purple fronts. I have tried using more traction compound up front, but was met with traction rolling. Using a more aggressive steer body made my car traction roll. (I switched from a P35 to a protoform bently).
I installed 40wt shock in the center shock in stead of 30, but that also made me traction roll. Applying a little less traction compound on front cured that. But I was back where I started that way.
I ended up with a very stable car, that lacked slight corner speed compared to the really fast guys, especially on corner entry.
I used the following setup:
Front:
20 springs,
-1.5degree camber,
-maximum turn-in castor setting.
Center:
-40Wt oil,
-Blue spring.
Damper discs:
-used Corally soft damper fluid.
Diff turned a little stiff (increased rotation of the car)
-Batteries in front position.
traction compound:
Rear full,
Front 1/4
Chassis/Tbar rake:
level
T-bar type:
.075
I want to try the following:
Smooth diff (less bearing wear)
30Wt center shock with silver spring
1 kingpin shim under front Tbar pivot
20Wt shock oil on damper discs.
Traction compound to front tire so that the car doesn't roll.
Perhaps I'll try less rear traction compound.
Any idea's/suggestions?
