ok guys maybe you can help me....
i was at the track sunday running 12th...i have an old ae rc12lw.
it was running great, won 12th the other night, but i decided it could be better and i bought an IRS pinned diff and axle assembly and a new vcs shock kit. now the thing traction rolls in every corner! we worked on it the whole day at the track, and maybe just got slightly better but if pushed to anything beyond lazy swooping slow corners, it flips. we (as in 12th guys at the track) have tried front springs, rear springs, diff tightness, and all that, but it still flips. i would like to know your guys thoughts on how i could fix this...
one thing i noticed was that the rear axle is now a bit narrower from the old axle...about a few (3-4) mm one each side as an estimate. now that makes the whole rear 6-8 mm narrower than what it was ! could that be doin it? i put an extra axle shim on both sides to get it spaced so its back where it was but i havnt had any time to run it yet. lemme know what you guys think.
