Default Test

Track: asphalt / outdoor
Ambient temp: about 35C
Grip level: med to high
Class: 13.5 boosted

TC6.2 - almost stock setting except the followings:

1) raise motor mount & spur mount up 1mm (with 1mm shims below the 5 point mount)
I did this according to Chris Grainger's suggestion.
Objective is to get better front belt clearance over top deck.
Because this, top deck is raised up with 1mm at all 8 points

2) Front arm
front mount = 2 dot in
Rear mount = 3 dot in

3) Rear arm
front mount = 2 dot in
rear mount = 3 dot in

I used the above settings for sometime.

************************************************** ***********

With almost all settings remained, I changed only the followings:-

1) Stock arms to TC5 arms (hard), both front & rear.
** could not find any TC4 rear arms

2) Stock C hub to TC5 C hub

3) Stock upright to TC5 upright.

************************************************** ***********

Difference I noticed:-

1) Car became alive instantly, more active.
Somehow before the change, I always felt that the car was lazy / heavy to my liking.

2) Overall, lap times over a 5 min run is more consistent than before.
Best lap improved by about 0.2s

************************************************** ***********

Based on my study in this forum, I notice that some are running anti-dive (front arm).

I have been racing with 0 mm under all mount.
If I add in 0.5 mm under front arm rear mount ONLY (other mounts remain at 0mm), what could I expect???

Right now, I am thinking only changing the arms geometry / settings, to get the best out of this kit, what other recommendation do you have??

Thanks
