I have an interesting delima since I just switched to bl/lipo this past weekend. I am running a t-bar car with the pack running lengthwise and the electronics on the other side. Everything fits nicely and reasonably balanced with some added weight. The problem is that the car starts out driving great and then at the 7 minute mark, starts pushing in one direction and hooking the other. I've tried a variety of different tire combination and it is the same for all of them. I tried running larger tires, 44mm rear/42 frt only to have the car traction roll right off the start. I 've tried thin and thick t-bars with the same results. Changed frt springs and same results.
The only thing I can think of is that our layout has ONE right hand 180* turn and everything else is left including the sweeper into a left 180*, and I'm wondering if the right front tire is getting abused and picking up traction to the point that it starts to dig and make the car hook on left hand turns? We are using good old regular Paragon but the predominant classes are rubber tire VTA & TC so there's lots of rubber in the groove. When you come off after 8 min. the frt tires are caked with build up on the areas that you do not apply any Paragon. ANd don'y suggest doping the eniter frt tire as I tried that too.
It's frustrating in that the car is very fast and easy to drive early, only to become a bag of crap and almost undriveable at the end. This is the same feeling that I always got when I tried link cars in the past.
What should I try next? Jack on the front tires, even stiffer frt springs, more caster, a pit stop tpo change frt tires............
Maybe 24 frt springs with black tires dopped all the way accross?
Thanks for any input as I'm headed to the track Thursday night for more testing.
