Was there some major running change? I am really struggling with this 2nd car and I am going to get rid of it if I can't get it going right soon. My basic setup is 3-5-1, F-54/40wt, R-55/32.5. This is the EXACT same setup I had on my other car which was dialed but this car is WAY off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This is the same setup I run and I had to do a couple of things to get the rear end hooked up. First unless the track is high traction blue-groove move the rear hubs all the way forward. This alone helps alot with traction. Using the longer 4-B rear camber link position helps make the rear more predictable as does moving the rear shocks to the 3-outside location. Also, going to a softer clutch helps greatly in loose conditions. I use 2 aluminum w/gold springs and 2 carbon w/green springs on my clutch. The high downforce proline wing helps too.
