I have seen that video before and it is cool how you can see the effects of how changing your links affects roll center, which in turn affects how the car leans. What I don't understand is this. Like I said earlier I have been racing on carpet and we have lots of traction, almost too much. I am running a sc truck which would traction roll all the time so the first thing I did was lower my rear links which should raise the roll center which should make my truck lean less therefore reducing traction rolling. But it did the opposite, the truck felt more unstable. I started off with 1 mm of height on the inner (shock tower) ball stud and took the 1 mm out lowering the ball stud and it traction rolled more. It also seemed to have more body roll when turning. So I raised the ball stud to 2.5 mm and that made a huge difference in the right direction. I could throw it into corners almost like I was on dirt but still not that loose. So what confuses me is, this is opposite of what razathon showed in his video. When I went higher my chassis got stiffer in the corner, he shows that the higher you go the more lean.

So can anyone help me to understand this?

Thanks

Tim
