Hey Guys,

Im having a few fine tuning problems with my mini and would like some advice. Running on asphalt track/netball courts. Track is pretty abrasive low traction. During practice before racing this weekend I was trying to set up on slicks all round. Once the tyres were warmed up the car has slight traction roll tendencies which id like to try and remedy. I'm running low on x patterns which work well and I don't really feel like buying a set of radials to double stuff every meet. Current set up is 35 wt oil all round, yellow springs rear, blue springs front. Running slight toe out on the front, 2' Toe in rear with Minimal ride height. When running X patterns on the the front and 32s or 36s on the rear its no problems running consistent laps except the front tyres are wearing excessively on the inside of the front left. Ive tried powers 36s all round. Spice 32s all round. A mixture of 36 front and 32 rear and vice versa with no luck. If i want to keep running x patterns i'll look at making myself a couple of those cheeky camber link adjusters I think. But im open to suggestions.


So, What to try next? Advice would be appreciated.



Also, would running one of these Zonda or 911 bodies with the rear wings make much difference to rear downforce and lap times?

Cheers Benzaah
