theoretically the smoother/high bite the track is i can go low on roll center? okay i guess its about time to hit the tracks.

Thanks everyone.

add more tips if you like.
I think he meant to say "a high roll center will keep the car from rolling"

Smoother, high bite tracks (eg. carpet) allow for a higher roll center. The more traction the higher the roll center you can get away with. The less traction the more you need the chassis to roll to achieve the grip you're looking for.

Testing it is the best way to see the effects of roll center settings. I was surprised at the difference a tiny roll center adjustment can make.
