Just bought the program. I intend to use it to better understand the settings/effects on my old school TC4 Club Kit. I'm a newbie running in VTA.
I have downloaded the TC4 kit setup. Based on the chassis measurements, this appears to be for the carbon fiber chassis kit. I have the old composite tub chassis. Granted, the suspension is essentially the same.
Won't having the composite chassis vs the carbon chassis make a considerable difference in setup results?
Thanks for your assistance and patience, I'm not an engineer.
The software assumes a completely rigid chassis and is really only designed to adjust the variable suspension components themselves. I had the same question about the thickness of my X-ray chassis a while back and this is basically what Bob told me. It's a cool program and I have used it successfully to setup 2 of my cars.
So basically you want the chassis as rigid as possible for the program to be the most accurate, of course the chassis flex is variable so it's best to start with what the program recommends and then you can fine tune at the track.
Good luck.
Cheers
