I had an hour free time last night and I started playing with my TT02 again. I was going to try playing with droop by using some spare o-rings in the shocks but as I am looking at it I decided to put the car in "normal" ride height mode. When I built the car I assembled it in "high" ride height mode but these days I am doing 99% of my running at the tennis courts which are pretty smooth.

One thing that always bothered me about my TT02 was the fact that there was a significant amount of bump steer as the suspension compressed, I tried shimming the balls on the hubs but I just could not get rid of it to any great extent. In static I set it up to have a wee bit of toe-out but as the suspension compressed I would get significant toe-in. After changing to the normal height setting that is all but gone.

Just as I was finishing up we had a very heavy sun shower and when I got to the courts there was significant puddling so I did not get to run it yet but I am excited to see how she goes with a 7-8MM ride height, lower roll center and not so wonky bump steer.

Cheers,
Jim
