While racing on carpet, I have an issue with the rear end of my M05 braking loose at the end of the straightaway going into a right hand turn sweeper. Would reducing the droop improve handling? Or would spring, oil, camber etc... correct this issue?
Rear -
S grip tires
Blue springs
50wt oil
Yellow roll bar
-3° camber
1.5° toe in
Front
S grips
Yellow spring
40wt oil
-2.5° camber
.5° toe out
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I got confused reading the setup as you listed the rear first lol. I need more info, what diff, how is it setup? What droop do you currently have? I would guess that a lot of roll could be why your loosing the back end. On carpet, you shouldn't have a problem with S grips on the back, unless the car is lifting off the tires. This below helps cement the back end, while making the car turn hard in the corners.
Give this a try -
Diff - 3 racing gear diff, 500k oil
Front -
S grips - Full sauce
Red spring
35wt oil 3 hole piston
-1° camber
.5° toe out
.5mm droop
Rear -
S grip tires - Full Sauce
Yellow or white springs
35wt oil 3 hole piston
Hard roll bar
-2 to -2.5° camber You can go to -3 but start lower and find the sweet spot for the track
1.5° toe in
1mm droop
I run very similar setup to this, until the car starts to lift when I really throw it into a corner. I then ad a very small bead of CA, right at the outside edge of the tread on the front tires only. You may find the car will push now, but it should come back (try more camber if its still pushing) HTH
