the past few weeks I have tried a .018 front spring with .020 rears, the rest pretty much the same as above but 1.0 degree front camber and 17.5. I liked the way it felt, very controlled. but I am losing time in corners where the car seems to dig in and lose speed. I like how the car behaves except that I am losing time. I noted Josh Cyrul's setup and others are also running 18 fronts. the grip is pretty high at times, the carpet is a few years old and has a lot of stuff built in it.
I get around faster with a 20 or 21 front. is there a driving style/skill that i need to develop to use the softer front? are you using exponential and a slower turn in to drive it thru the corner? these 1/12 cars get thru the corner so quickly it is difficult to imagine steering more slowly and still making the corner.
