And also if it would effect my handling at all? If its gonna make me start traction rolling or something bad i'd rather just deal with the spinning tires. I use a gear diff with 50,000 cst and the orca spark system as per wcics rules up here in canada. Will the slicks give more or less steering. Oh and i have the sidewalls glued on the fronts aswell as the first 1-2mm of tread. Thanks
Hi Justin, I am assuming you mean the inside wheel is spinning on corner exit. Your issue is the diff oil, it needs to be much thicker. I run (from memory its been a while since ive worked on it) 500,000 mugen oil in a 3 racing gear diff. Ive heard of others running 1m also. The CA sounds perfect on the front, and another idea is to run alot of sauce on the front tires. the CA will stop the car from rolling over. S Grips are the tire of choice. A tires are not as quick IMHO.
