Okay, have a question,
at my last race I noticed, that although my car handles great the front tires seem to be really scrubbing around tight corners which slows me down. The car stays on the track like its glued to the track ...rear end stays put and it handles great.
I don't have time to get any practice in and experiment before my next race, so am going to try my best guess at what I should do and/or recommendations in the first qualifying heat of my next race. If what I do works then great, otherwise I'll go back to my current setup which is good ...but just looking to see if I can improve my speed around corners.
Here is what I have:
Tamiya M05VII (as many already know), Tamiya 54000 shocks w/ Red springs up front and yellow in back. Shock oil is 25w all around, and am using anti-sway bars front and back. (don't recall offhand what spring tension on front back) --but I believe medium all the way. S-grips in back and Tamiya A slicks up front.
So my front end is a bit softer than the back end, but only slightly. Would it be best to soften up the front even more -maybe a lighter oil weight and lighter sway bar or no sway bar up front? i am thinking if I can get a tad more chassis roll up front that would help my front tires continue spinning around the corners rather than pushing/scrubbing...thoughts?? Maybe I need to let off on the throttle a tad more around tight corners?? my car is competitive, I am almost always in the top 3 spots ...just can't crack the 1 or 2. (I race w/ some B main TCS guys ...so pretty competitive group).
