The RC Car Action link corroborates the video and quote 1 and 3 below... "Using a higher roll center prevents the car from leaning as much, which is helpful on high-bite tracks to minimize traction rolling and will also give the car a snappier feel—good for smooth, high-bite tracks."

There is confussion, but lower on the tower = higher roll center and vice versa.

Sometimes less roll is more traction or more roll is more traction. All depends on the track surface and what your trying to accomplish.

Great info!

I have a feeling there is a LOT more to this than just raise or lower the link as quote 3 warns. I swear I had a lower front roll center (higher on tower) that was dealing with the traction rolling better than when I went to a higher front roll center (lower on the tower). Steering became more immediate with the higher front roll center and my car traction rolled more immediately. I will do more testing with this specific info in mind. Thanks for the great info everyone.
